Abstract

The present study examined the influence of insomnia on prosocial behaviour and gender differences in prosocialness. The study comprised of 300 students gathered through convenience sampling technique via both online and in person data collection. The age range of the sample was between 18 to 25. Two validated scales the Adult Prosocialness Scale (Soldatos, et al., 2000) and Athens Insomnia Scale (Caprara et al., 2005) were applied on the sample. Results confirmed both the hypotheses with insomnia having significant negative impact on prosocialness and females scoring high on prosocial behaviour. The findings suggest that proper sleep hygiene should be propagated among the youth to improve their social relations.  

Key words: Insomnia, prosocialness, gender
