%X Theoretical models of insomnia disorder recognise an emotional component in the main-tenance of the disorder. Nonetheless, the field of emotions is vast and different pro-cesses are involved in psychological well-being. The present narrative review focusseson emotion regulation and affect dynamics, synthesising some of the most recent andrelevant evidence on emotions in relationto the quality of sleep and to insomnia disor-der. The literature underlines the close association between impaired sleep quality anddifficulties in regulating emotions. Impairedsleep quality is also associated with reducedpositive affect and increased negative affect,but little evidence supports a bi-directionalassociation between affective states and sleep. Affect variability in relation to sleep hasbeen less investigated. Initial evidence suggests that high variability in positive affect hasa negative impact on sleep. Neurobiological and behavioural evidence indicates thatinsomnia disorder is associated with emotion dysregulation, negative affect, and a dis-tinct daily profile of affective states. Moreresearch is needed on the affective experi-ence of patients with insomnia disorder, adopting multiple sampling of affect across theday and the week. Understanding how the unfolding of emotions over time interact withsleep alterations may help to improve the tailoring and monitoring of treatments addres-sing disturbed emotional processes in insomnia disorder.
