title: Correlations of sense of humor and sleep disturbance ascribed to worry.
abstract: Scores on the Sleep Disturbance Ascribed to Worry Scale were correlated with total scores on the Multidimensional Sense of Humor Scale and subscale sleep scores. A significant negative correlation of -.22 (p < .01) was found between the disturbance scores and scores on the humor production subscale. Research is required to replicate and extend these findings.
