Abstract in brief

  • The study explored how positive and negative feelings affect sleep quality in Chinese university students, specifically looking at the roles of Fear of Missing Out (FoMO) and smartphone addiction as mediators.
  • Results showed that negative emotions were linked to worse sleep quality, with this relationship being partly explained by higher levels of FoMO and smartphone addiction; positive emotions directly improved sleep quality.
  • Overall, the findings suggest managing negative emotions and addressing FoMO and smartphone addiction could help improve sleep quality among students.]
