Abstract

There is a growing interest in examining the potential association between sleeping patterns and behavioral outcomes. Findings from this body of research have revealed that chronic sleep deprivation is associated with variation in levels of self-control, delinquent involvement, and antisocial behavior, to name just a few. To date, researchers have been slow to investigate the potential link between psychopathic personality traits and patterns of sleep behavior. The current study partially addresses this gap in the literature by analyzing data drawn from a large, nationally representative sample of youth. We discuss the implications of our findings for future research.
