- Relationship functioning is associated with various aspects of individuals' lives, including sleep quality. This study examined relationship functioning and sleep quality of 35 Veteran couples, a sample which is at risk of relationship and sleep issues. Results indicated that individuals' hostility (e.g., criticism, hostile voice tone) and relationship-enhancing attributions (e.g., attributing negative events to external factors rather than to the partner) were associated with the sleep quality of both themselves and partners.
