Sweet Dreams are Made of This: A Person-Centered Approach Towards Understanding the Role of Sleep in Chronic Fatigue

This is extracted dataset for an accepted paper in Journal of Occupational Health Psychology titled "Sweet Dreams are Made of This: A Person-Centered Approach Towards Understanding the Role of Sleep in Chronic Fatigue" Previous studies show that sleep is essential in preventing symptoms related to chronic levels of fatigue. In the present study, we move beyond the traditional variable-centered approach and adopt a person-centered approach by considering antecedents and outcomes of sleep profiles.

Specifically, we consider job characteristics (i.e., workload, job control, and their interaction) as predictors of sleep profiles and indicators of chronic fatigue (i.e., prolonged fatigue and burnout) as outcomes. In establishing sleep profiles, we consider levels as well as the variability of the sleep dimensions across a week. Based on daily diary data from 296 Indonesian employees, the present paper uses Latent Profile Analysis to identify sleep profiles based on both weekly averages of several sleep dimensions (i.e., sleep quality, fragmentation, duration, bedtime, and wake-up time) and their intraindividual variability.
