  "abstract": "Background\n\nIrritability is highly prevalent in adolescents and may be exacerbated by sleep disturbances, with sleep patterns undergoing significant changes during this developmental period. Reciprocally, poor sleep may generate an increase in anger dysregulation. This exploratory study investigates the day-to-day associations between sleep and irritability, as well as the moderating effects of maladaptive (i.e., anger rumination) and adaptive (i.e., self-control) emotion regulation (ER) strategies.Methods\n\nFifty-six male adolescents aged 12-18, with diverse sleep and emotional problems, participated in a 9-day experience sampling method study. Participants also completed self-report questionnaires assessing irritability, sleep quantity and quality, and maladaptive and adaptive ER strategies. Linear mixed effect models with lagged covariates were used to test associations and moderating effects.Results\n\nAt the within-person level, sleep quality was associated with next-day irritability (βstd = -0.92, 95% CI [-1.31, -0.53). Higher daily anger rumination (βstd = 0.25, 95% CI [0.17, 0.34]), and daily self-control (βstd = -0.18, 95% CI [-0.27, -0.10]) were directly associated with higher next-day irritability. At the between-person level, lower self-control was also associated with higher next-day irritability (βstd = -0.52, 95% CI [-0.77, -0.27]). Interactions between daily sleep quality and between-person anger rumination ( βstdinteraction = 0.18, 95% [0.07, 0.30]), and self-control ( βstdinteraction = 0.75, 95% CI [0.38, 1.12]) were related with irritability. Reciprocally, lower irritability from the day was associated with better sleep quality the following night (βstd = -0.11, 95% CI [-0.20, -0.01]).Conclusion\n\nThese preliminary findings suggest that sleep may be related to next-day irritability in adolescent boys and may vary as a function of anger rumination and self-control. Additionally, irritability also showed a potential association with subsequent sleep. However, findings should be interpreted cautiously given the small, all-male adolescent sample. Future studies including larger and more diverse adolescent samples are needed to assess their generalizability and robustness.",
