between neuroticism, gratitude and the sleep quality of adults. The sample

quality. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (Buysse, Daniel, Reynolds,
Monk, Berman, & Kupfer, 1989) was used to assess the quality of sleep.
Gratitude Questionnaire (GQ-6) and the Neuroticism
Scale (NFI) were used to assess gratitude and neuroticism. Results
indicated that a significant negative relationship between neuroticism and
sleep quality. Pearson correlation analysis revealed a strong negative
correlation between two variables neuroticism and the sleep quality.
However there is no significant positive relationship between gratitude and
sleep quality. Results also indicated that non-significant gender differences
in neuroticism, gratitude and the sleep quality of adults.
