Abstract: Anger as an emotion has proven to influence health. However, there is little research about the relationship between anger and subjective sleep quality. This paper analyses anger and its expression regarding subjective sleep quality. 581 people have participated (58 % of women) with an age of M=32.19-SD=15.59 years. The PittsburghSleepQualityIndexand theState-TraitAngerExpressionInventory-2were applied. People with a worse subjective sleep quality (> 5 PSQI score) face a higher chance of experimenting trait-anger, anger expression-in and anger expression-out in a degree that may interfere with their optimum behaviour. People with a sleep duration of <7 h, compared to those that claim to sleep ≥7 h, show a higher probability of obtaining trait-anger, state-anger, emotion, verbal expression and physical expression scores that interfere with their behaviour. To point out the necessity of considering objective measures about sleep and its relations with negative emotions.
