Why the study?
While poor sleep is linked to higher risk of non-suicidal self-injury, the influence of non-suicidal self-injury on sleep patterns remained uninvestigated.
Does past non-suicidal self-injury predict current non-suicidal self-injury and poor sleep in adults?

Hypothesis-generating for sleep-NSSI links in young adults; leaves open causality and needs longitudinal confirmation before practice implications.
Does past non-suicidal self-injury predict current non-suicidal self-injury and poor sleep in adults?
Past non-suicidal self-injury is a strong predictor of current self-injury, whereas poor sleep has only a modest association.
