| Abstract: | Aim: The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between sleep duration and self-esteem levels in young adults, overcoming the limitations of self-reported data by using digital biomarkers and the Experience Sampling Method (ESM). Methods: 34 participants between the ages of 18 and 27 wore the EmbracePlus smartwatch for seven days to measure sleep duration objectively and completed daily diaries assessing self-esteem using Experience Sampling Method for eight days. The data was then visualized and analyzed by using a multilevel model. Results: Contrary to the hypothesis and previous studies finding a significant association, this study found no significant association between sleep duration and self-esteem levels, suggesting a more complex relationship between the two variables (p > 0. Conclusion: The findings highlight the need for future research to explore additional factors and assessment methods influencing self-esteem levels, as well as the potential of digital biomarkers and ESM in psychological research. Several factors, including higher resilience and compensatory behaviors, can explain these findings. Methodological differences, such as the objective measure of sleep duration and narrower age ranges, also impact results. Despite non-significant findings, this study contributes to the growing literature on digital biomarkers and ESM methods in psychological research. |
