Abstract:
Unhealthy sleep is a modern epidemic, and recent research has linked it to unethical behaviors like deception. Yet, scholars are also starting to examine factors that could curtail unhealthy sleep and its consequences. The current paper reviews evidence that indirectly implies or directly documents a relationship between unhealthy sleep and deception, detailing critical mediators and moderators. It concludes with a discussion of the many intriguing research avenues arising from this nascent literature, each with eminent relevance in a sleep-deprived world.
