The main purpose of this study is to examine how perceived partner responsiveness (PPR), need satisfaction and sleep qualityare related in romantic relationships. Data were collected from a sample of 119 heterosexual romantic partners (Mage = 32.1,20 to 63 years-old) who were together for 5.7 years on average. The proposed model was analyzed using actor-partner interdependencemodel to examine the mediating role of need satisfaction on the link between PPR and sleep quality. Resultsindicated no direct paths from PPR to sleep quality. Significant actor effects of PPR on need satisfaction were found forboth genders. Similarly, significant actor effects and women’s partner effect of need satisfaction were established on sleepquality. Additionally, results yielded two significant indirect effects: Women’s reports of higher PPR were linked to bettersleep quality of both women and men, only in case of high need satisfaction reported by women. Findings contributed to theexisting literature by presenting an alternative approach to examine PPR and sleep in a dyadic perspective through the roleof need satisfaction while highlighting women’s influence on men’s sleep.
