The present study investigates the group differences and the association of
hypersomnolence, emotion regulation, and loneliness among healthcare and corporate
professionals in India. This cross-sectional study employed 114 Indian participants
designated to corporate (N=44) and healthcare sectors (N=70) aged 18-50 years through
purposive sampling. Hypersomnolence, Emotion Regulation, and Loneliness were
measured by the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) (Watching, 1990), the Emotion
Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) (Gross & John, 2003), and De Jong Gierveld Loneliness
Scale (DeJong Gierveld & Van Tilburg, 2006). Data were analyzed through t-test of
independent means and Pearson’s correlation coefficient. The findings have indicated
significant differences among sectors in hypersomnolence, reappraisal, and
suppression. There is a significant correlation between hypersomnolence with reappraisal
and suppression.
