Effects of the Young Adolescent Sleep Smart Program on sleep hygiene practices, sleep health efficacy, and behavioral well-being

Objective: To determine whether self-reported sleep hygiene practices are associated with self- and parent-reported behavioral sleep problems in adolescents with ADHD. Method: Participants included 79 adolescents with ADHD (13-17 years) and their parents. Adolescents were asked to report on their sleep hygiene (Adolescent Sleep Hygiene Scale) and sleep (Adolescent Sleep Wake Scale). Parents also reported on their adolescent’s sleep (Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children). Results: Poorer sleep hygiene was associated with higher total self-reported behavioral sleep problems and most self-reported sleep problems: falling asleep, reinitiating sleep, and returning to wakefulness. The association was also apparent for total parent-reported behavioral sleep problems, problems with initiating and maintaining sleep, and excessive somnolence. Conclusion: This study demonstrates small-to-moderate relationships between poor sleep hygiene practices and sleep problems in adolescents with ADHD, by both self- and parent-report.

Introduction: Sleep is necessary for maintaining adequate health and well-being. However, several behavioral and environmental factors, known as sleep hygiene, could affect sleep quality, contributing to the development of insomnia. Instruments to measure sleep hygiene such as the sleep hygiene index (SHI) have been developed, but only a few are available in the Arabic language. Therefore, this study was designed to translate and culturally adapt the SHI from English to Arabic. Methods: The SHI was translated from English to Arabic using the forward–backward translation method recommended by the International Society for Pharmacoeconomics and Outcomes Research guidelines. Nine Arabic-speaking individuals of diverse educational and cultural backgrounds reviewed the Arabic SHI. The internal consistency reliability of the items contained in the Arabic SHI was determined. Results: The SHI was successfully translated and culturally adapted into the Arabic language. Minimal changes in the wording of some questions were required to ensure the cultural adaptability of the instrument. The Arabic version of the SHI was found to be simple, clear, and brief as reported by the participants during cognitive debriefing. The Arabic SHI has moderate internal consistency reliability with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.589. Conclusion: The Arabic SHI is a brief and easy-to-understand instrument for assessing sleep hygiene practices and behavior in Arabic-speaking population. Further assessment of the psychometric properties of the Arabic SHI is necessary to ensure the validity of this instrument in different populations.

Adolescent Sleep

School activities and socialization consume a lot of time for adolescents and leave a little time for adolescents to rest or sleep. Changes in environment, independence and changes in sleep patterns commonly occur for students who undergo pesantren activities, thus affecting the quantity and sleep quality of students. Sleep deprivation is associated with poor sleep hygiene behaviour. This study used descriptive quantitative method with single variable. Sampling technique used at this study is stratified random sampling. This study involved as many as 161 adolescent moslem students at the age of 11-20 years in Pondok Pesantren Darul Hikmah Tanjungmekar Tanjungkerta Sumedang Distric. Data collected by using Adolescent Sleep Hygiene Scale Questionnaire and analyzed by using mean value. The result of this study showed that more than half of the respondents had good sleep hygiene practices (68,3%). There are four aspects of adolescent moslem students sleep hygiene in good category : cognitive/emotional aspect, sleep environment aspect, sleep stability aspect and substance use aspect. Two aspects of sleep hygiene in bad category are in the daytime sleep aspect and bedtime routine aspects. Meanwhile physiological aspect and behavioural arousal aspect have an almost balance values. Monitoring moslem students sleep schedule not to exceed 24.00, providing separate room for moslem study self study, habits of toothbrush before bed, monitoring of cigarette use in cottage environment, not providing tea at dinner time, and monitoring of moslem students activity outside school or cottage Pesantren is a thing that should be attention.Keyword: Adolescent, moslem students, sleep hygiene. Gambaran Sleep Hygiene Santri Remaja Pondok PesantrenAbstrakAktivitas sekolah dan sosialisasi yang dilakukan oleh remaja mengakibatkan banyaknya waktu yang tersita dan hanya sedikit waktu yang disisakan untuk beristirahat ataupun tidur. Perubahan lingkungan, kemandirian dan perubahan pola tidur yang tajam biasa terjadi bagi siswa yang menjalani kegiatan pesantren, sehingga berpengaruh terhadap kuantitas dan kualitas tidur siswa. Kekurangan tidur ini berhubungan dengan buruknya perilaku sleep hygiene. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran 8 aspek sleep hygiene, serta gambaran sleep hygiene berdasarkan latar belakang demografi santri. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain deskriptif kuantitatif dengan variabel tunggal. Adapun teknik sampling yang digunakan yaitu stratified random sampling. Penelitian dilakukan terhadap 161 santri remaja usia 11-20 tahun di Pondok Pesantren Darul Hikmah Tanjungmekar Kecamatan Tanjungkerta Kabupaten Sumedang. Data dikumpulkan menggunakan kuesioner Adolescent Sleep Hygiene Scale serta dianalisis menggunakan nilai mean. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa sebanyak 68,3% responden memiliki praktik sleep hygiene yang baik. Aspek-aspek sleep hygiene santri yang berada dalam kategori baik terdapat pada aspek kognitif emosional, aspek lingkungan tidur, aspek stabilitas tidur dan aspek penggunaan substansi. Adapun 2 aspek sleep hygiene yang berada dalam kategori buruk terdapat pada aspek tidur siang dan aspek rutinitas sebelum tidur. Sedangkan aspek fisiologis dan aspek perilaku penggugah memiliki hasil yang hampir seimbang. Memantau jadwal tidur santri agar tidak melebihi pukul 24.00, menyediakan ruangan terpisah bagi santri untuk belajar mandiri, pembiasaan sikat gigi sebelum tidur, pemantauan penggunaan rokok di lingkungan pondok, tidak menyediakan teh pada saat jam makan malam, dan pemantauan kegiatan santri diluar jam sekolah ataupun pondok pesantren merupakan hal yang sebaiknya pengurus pondok pesantren perhatikan.Kata kunci : Remaja, santri, sleep hygiene.

Adolescent Functioning

Sleep is vital for our physical, emotional and cognitive health. However, adolescents face many challenges where their sleep is concerned. This is reflected in their sleep patterns including the timing of their sleep and how much sleep they achieve on a regular basis: their sleep is characteristically delayed and short. Notably, insufficient sleep is associated with impairments in adolescent functioning. Endogenous and exogenous factors are known to affect sleep at this age. Alterations in the bioregulation of sleep, comprising the circadian timing system and the sleep/wake homeostatic system, represent the intrinsic mechanisms at work. Compounding this, environmental, psychosocial and lifestyle factors may contribute to shortened sleep. This review discusses the amount of sleep gained by adolescents and its implications, the challenges to adolescent sleep and the interventions introduced in an effort to prioritize sleep health in this important developmental period.

Abstract Introduction Children with overweight/obesity are more likely to have shortened sleep, though little is known about the role of weight status in insomnia severity, sleep quality, and sleep hygiene in clinically referred youth. Methods A total of 1133 children (43.7% female) presented to a Pediatric Behavioral Sleep Medicine Clinic for insomnia. At the initial evaluation, caregivers of children ages 2–10.9 years (N = 744) completed the Pediatric Insomnia Severity Scale (PISI) and the Children’s Sleep Habits Questionnaire (CSHQ); adolescents ages 11–18 years (N = 389) completed the PISI, the Adolescent Sleep Hygiene Scale (ASHS), and the Adolescent Sleep Wake Scale (ASWS). The PISI was completed during at least one Pediatric Behavioral Sleep Medicine visit subsequent to evaluation and initiation of treatment. Patient height and weight, objectively measured within 3 months of the initial evaluation, was used to determine sex-adjusted body mass index z-scores (BMIz). Hierarchal linear regression models were used to determine the impact of BMIz on baseline PISI insomnia severity scores, and CSHQ, ASHS, and ASWS total scores, after covarying for income. Repeated-measures general linear modeling was used to determine whether weight status moderated improvement in insomnia severity over time, covarying for income. Results For children (ages 2–10.9), weight was not associated with baseline insomnia severity (p=.62) or predictive of insomnia improvement following behavioral sleep medicine intervention (p=.71), though higher weight predicted poorer parent-reported sleep quality (p=.006). For adolescents (ages 11–18), higher weight was predictive of higher baseline insomnia severity (p=.026), though did not predict insomnia improvement over time (p = .86); higher weight was also predictive of poorer sleep hygiene (p<.001) and worse sleep quality (p=.03). Conclusion Initial insomnia severity and subjective sleep quality may be worse for youth of higher weight, particularly for adolescents; these findings increase our understanding of how and when overweight/obesity negatively impacts sleep. Fortunately, youth with higher weight respond equally well to pediatric behavioral sleep medicine interventions as their lower-weight peers, suggesting that these interventions need not be modified based on patient weight.

Aim. To investigate the effectiveness of the short-term protocol of cognitive behavioral therapy RELEGS M. Hornyak et al. in complex treatment to improve the quality of sleep, reduce the symptoms of depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts in patients with primary SBN comorbid with chronic insomnia. Methods. Study participants: 68 patients with primary restless legs syndrome with comorbid chronic insomnia. Women 56 (average age 52.110.3 years), men 12 (average age 50.39.4 years). The severity of restless legs syndrome is moderate to severe. The average age of the onset of the disease is 1848 years, the duration of the course of the disease is on average 1415 years. Taking various medications for the management of SBN for an average of 45 years. Study design: a randomized controlled trial, after screening 26 patients were assigned to the main group, underwent combined treatment, took a prolonged form of Pramipexole (Mirapex-PD, 1.5 mg.) and underwent the RELEGS CBT protocol (Restless Legs Skills program, Hornyak, Grossmann, 2018), which integrates the cognitive behavioral insomnia protocol (Morin, 2007) and Mindfulness-Based Stress therapy (Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction, Bablas, 2016). The control group consisted of 24 people who received only general recommendations on sleep hygiene once. Both groups were treated with dopaminergic agonists under the supervision of a neurologist. Research methods: IRLS, ISI, DBAS-16, sleep diary analysis, actigraphy, BDI, SBQ-R, BAI. Results. The use of the CBT protocol in combination therapy with prolonged-acting dopaminergic agonists in patients with primary restless leg syndrome (mild and moderate severity) with comorbid chronic insomnia, in contrast to simple one-time general recommendations on sleep hygiene, is more effective for reducing dysfunctional behaviors, the spectrum of reinsurance and avoidance behavior both in relation to sleep and symptoms of restless legs. In patients with primary restless legs syndrome who underwent CBT, greater mental well-being was observed, which was expressed in a decrease in the severity of symptoms of insomnia, anxiety, and suicidal behavior after completion and persisted after 3 months of follow-up. Conclusion. As part of a personalized comprehensive approach, along with a drug-based approach and general recommendations for sleep hygiene, the use of short-term CBT (4 sessions, 60 minutes each) can significantly improve mental well-being, improve the quality of sleep of patients with restless legs syndrome with comorbid chronic insomnia.

Health And Well Being

Although optimal sleep is essential for overall health and well-being, questions exist regarding the sufficient duration of sleep, appropriate timing of sleep, and whether or not naps are helpful or harmful. Generally speaking, for optimal sleep health, adults should aim to obtain between 7 and 9 hours of sleep per day. The optimal timing of this daily sleep is during the nocturnal hours. In regards to napping, evidence is mixed regarding whether napping represents a detriment to optimal sleep behavior. For those who engage in napping, characteristics of napping such as the duration, timing, regularity, and environment are important factors to consider.
