Key result
Self-reported sleep quality was positively associated with resting state skin conductance (p=0.027), and sleep efficiency was negatively correlated with low frequency heart rate variability (p=0.002).
Why the study?
To examine the relationship between sleep and resting autonomic nervous system functioning in college students.
Are self-reported sleep characteristics associated with resting autonomic nervous system functioning in college students?

Are self-reported sleep characteristics associated with resting autonomic nervous system functioning in college students?
Self-reported sleep characteristics are significantly associated with resting autonomic nervous system activity, including heart rate variability and skin conductance, in college students.
Oliver et al. (2019) reported a cross-sectional. Sleep characteristics was evaluated on Resting state skin conductance (SC) and heart rate variability (HRV). Self-reported sleep quality was positively associated with resting state skin conductance (p=0.027), and sleep efficiency was negatively correlated with low frequency heart rate variability (p=0.002).
