ObjectivesThe main purpose of the present study was to explore the associations between sleep quality and insufficient physical activity.DesignCross-sectional.SettingFaculties in Croatia.Participants2100 university students (1049 men and 1051 women) aged 18–24 years were recruited.Primary outcomeTo assess the domains of sleep quality (independent variables) and ‘insufficient’ physical activity (dependent variable), we used previously validated Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and International Physical Activity questionnaires. Logistic regressions were used to calculate the associations between the sleep quality and ‘insufficient’ physical activity.ResultsWhen sleep quality domains were entered separately into the model, very bad subjective sleep quality (OR 3.09; 95% CI 1.50 to 6.56), >60 min of sleep latency (OR 2.17; 95% CI 1.39 to 3.39), <7 hours of sleep (OR 1.56; 95% CI 1.24 to 1.96), <65% of habitual sleep efficiency (OR 2.26; 95% CI 1.26 to 4.05), sleep disturbances >1/week (OR 1.61; 95% CI 1.03 to 2.52), use of sleep medication >1/week (OR 3.35; 95% CI 1.83 to 6.10), very big daytime dysfunction problem (OR 2.78; 95% CI 1.57 to 4.93) and poor sleep quality (1.53; 95% CI 1.23 to 1.91) were associated with ‘insufficient’ physical activity. When all sleep quality domains were entered simultaneously into the model, the same significant associations remained, except for sleep disturbances. Both models were adjusted for gender, body mass index, self-rated health, life satisfaction, socioeconomic status, presence or absence of chronic diseases, smoking status, binge drinking and psychological distress.ConclusionsOur results show that ‘poor’ sleep quality is associated with ‘insufficient’ physical activity in young adults. In order to improve, special strategies and policies that leverage ‘good sleep’ quality are warranted.

The Impact

AbstractIntroductionUnderstanding health behaviors, such as sleep and dietary patterns, is important for health promotion and disease prevention. College period is a complicated, difficult time to maintain healthy behaviors. In this regard, little is known about the impact of sleep and diet quality on well-being among college young adults. Hence, we aimed to study the impact of sleep and diet quality on well-being in college students.Materials and MethodsThree hundred-twelve Mexican college students (82% females; 20.6 ± 3.4years) were included in a cross-sectional study. Participants completed the following validated questionnaires: Well-being Index to assess well-being (high scores indicate high well-being), Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index for sleep quality (scores > 5 indicate poor sleep quality), and a validate version of the Health Eating Index for Mexican population to assess diet quality (scores > 80 indicate good diet quality). BMI and physical activity were also assessed. Scores were treated as continuous variables, and statistical analysis were performed using SPSS v24 and adjusted for confounding variables.ResultsSixty-seven percent of our population showed a poor sleep quality and eighty-four percent needs to make changes in their diet in order to improve its quality. On the other hand, fifty-one percent of the studied population had a low well-being perception. Poor sleep quality (p < 0.001) and low diet quality (p < 0.001) associated with a lower well-being perception. In addition, poor sleep quality is associated with low diet quality (p < 0.05). Regarding food consumption, higher sweets (p < 0.001) and soft-drink (p < 0.001) intake was inversely associated with well-being scores. Likewise, high consumption of sweets (p < 0.05) and soft-drink (p < 0.05), and low fruit (p < 0.05) and cereal (p < 0.05) consumption are linked to poor sleep quality.DiscussionOur results show that half of the studied population had a low well-being, and also that poor sleep and diet quality are frequent among college students. Interestingly, the fact that poor sleep and diet quality were associated to a lower perception of well-being highlights the importance of promoting sleep hygiene and diet quality among college students as an important strategy to improve well-being and health, even in young adults. In addition, we found that higher sweets and soft-drink consumption were associated to both low well-being perception and poor sleep quality. Hence, it is important to promote healthy habits regarding eating and sleeping well, in order to improve well-being perception among college students.

AbstractIntroductionFood intake behavior is implicated in many chronic health issues, including obesity. Thus, understanding the underlying factors that affect food intake is important. Several studies have associated sleep restriction to increased dietary intake and poor food choices, which can be driven by hedonic mechanisms, specially food palatability. Given that people eat for different reasons other than stress, including boredom, anxiety, sadness or joy, our aim was to study the potential association between sleep quality and the cognitive-behavioral nature of food intake (eating behaviors, EB), as well as their impact on body mass index in a population of young adults.Materials and MethodsOne thousand twenty eight young adults (78% females; 21.4 ± 4.1years) were included in a cross-sectional study. The following questionnaires were used: Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index to assess sleep quality (scores > 5 indicate poor sleep quality), the Three Factor Eating Questionnaire to assess the three dimensions of EB (emotional, uncontrolled and restraint eating) (Higher scores indicate higher EB). Additionally, height, weight, body mass index (BMI) and the level of physical activity were evaluated. Statistical analysis were performed using SPSS v24, and adjusted for confounding variables.ResultsSixty one percent of the studied population had a poor sleep quality, whereas no significant associations were found between poor sleep quality, gender or age. Poor sleep quality was associated with uncontrolled (p < 0.001) and emotional (p < 0.001) eating, as well as with BMI (p < 0.001). In addition, emotional eating was associated to BMI (p < 0.001). Finally, linear regression model showed that BMI is associated with poor sleep quality (p < 0.01) and emotional eating (p < 0.001).DiscussionOur findings suggest that poor sleep quality is frequent among young adults. Furthermore, poor sleep quality is associated with higher emotional and uncontrolled eating, showing that poor sleep might be associated with a higher tendency to over eat when coping to emotionally negative emotions (sadness, anger, depression, anxiety), and a high tendency to lose control over food intake itself. Finally, the association between poor sleep quality and high emotional eating can have a negative impact over BMI, even in young adults. Hence, interventions designed to improve weight status would benefit from focusing on sleep quality in order to reduce emotional and uncontrolled eating.

Dual Tasking

Although sleep quality disorders can have a negative effect on postural control, studies about this subject are scarce. The aim of this study is to assess the differences in standing posture performance during dual tasking between healthy young adults with a good and poor sleep quality. Thirty-five healthy participants (23.09 ± 3.97 years) performed a postural task (standing posture single task ((ST)) and a dual task (DT): quiet standing while performing a concurrent cognitive task, while the total excursion of the center of pressure (TOTEX CoP), the displacement anterior–posterior (CoP-AP) and medial–lateral (CoP-ML), the mean total velocity displacement of CoP (MVELO CoP) and ellipse sway area (CEA) were measured with a force plate. After assessing the sleep quality with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, they were divided into two groups (good ((n = 21)) and poor ((n = 14)) sleep quality) to establish comparisons. This study revealed no significant differences in TOTEX CoP, CoP-ML, CoP-AP, MVELO CoP, and CEA among both sleep quality groups. In conclusion, differences in the sleep quality (good or poor sleep quality) among young adults appear not to be a relevant factor in the CoP variation, but the DT versus ST can compromise postural control performance independently of the sleep quality.

Abstract Background Previous studies suggest that poor sleep quality negatively affects the executive function of the prefrontal cortex and, consequently, the impairment of learning abilities. The aim of this study was to compare the oxygenated hemoglobin concentration ([HbO2]) during cognitive dual-task with subjective sleep quality in young adults. Methods Thirty-two healthy young adults (age = 23.13 ± 3.92 years, mean ± SD) were recruited according to the eligibility criteria. Using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIR), oxygenated hemoglobin concentration ([HbO2]) was measured during quiet standing while performing a concurrent cognitive task - arithmetic and memory tasks (cognitive dual-task). The quality of sleep was assessed by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). After data processing, the Mann-Whitney test was used for comparison and the statistical significance level was set to P &lt; 0.05. Results There were 59.4% of participants with a global PSQI score ≤5 (good sleep quality) and 40.6% with a score &gt; 5 (poor sleep quality). No differences were observed in the mean of [HbO2] in prefrontal cortex during cognitive dual-task in young adults with good and poor sleep quality (P &gt; 0.05). Conclusions The results of this study do not support the possibility of increases in the hemodynamic response on the prefrontal cortex be expected due to a good sleep, once the sleep quality appears not to have a significant effect on [HbO2] in young adults during the performance of cognitive dual-task.

Abstract Introduction: Poor sleep quality is common across the lifespan in patients with sickle cell disease (SCD) and has been associated with pain, mood disruption, and fatigue. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) examines sleep quality in both pediatric and adult patients with chronic health conditions, including in adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with SCD. The AYA period is particularly salient for patients with SCD given the potential onset of chronic pain during this developmental period and increased risk for complications during transition. Previous studies have relied on the PSQI total score rather than examining specific domains of sleep quality. In addition, prior studies have mostly focused on either pediatric or adult patients rather than examining AYAs as a group. This study examined specific PSQI sleep domains to identify characteristics that may be impaired in AYAs with SCD. This approach may allow for a multidimensional understanding of sleep in AYAs with SCD and may identify specific targets for intervention. Methods : We performed a retrospective chart review of AYA patients with SCD who completed the PSQI as part of a clinical pilot program. Patients included all types of SCD between 13-25 years. We recorded the PSQI and demographic and medical characteristics (age, sex, SCD type, CBC, and SCD treatments). Descriptive data from PSQI subdomains (sleep duration, latency, efficiency, needing medication to sleep, subjective sleep quality, and mid-sleep time [mid-point between sleep onset and offset]) were examined for adolescents (ages 13 to 18) and young adults (ages 19 to 25) to identify sleep characteristics (table 1). A mean PSQI score &gt; 5 is categorized as having poor sleep quality. Chi-square and Fisher's exact test were used to compare age differences in characteristics for adolescents versus young adults. Results : Eighty-nine AYAs with SCD (mean age: 18.9±3.5 years; 51 female, 38 male) completed the PSQI. Patients were evenly distributed across adolescent (n = 46) and young adult groups (n = 43). SCD genotypes included: HbSS (n = 58), HbSC (n = 15), HbSb + (n = 9), HbSb 0 (n = 3), HbSO-Arab (n = 2), and unknown (n = 2). Adolescents and young adults did not significantly differ for sex, SCD genotype, CBC, or current therapies (all p .3). Average total PSQI scores for adolescents and young adults were 6.26 and 9.02, respectively. Most adolescents (52%) and young adults (84%) reported poor sleep quality (total PSQI score &gt; 5). Thirty nine percent of adolescents rated their sleep duration as less than 7 hours compared to over half of young adults (56%). Many adolescents (59%) and young adults (44%) endorsed a mild to moderate amount of sleep disturbance, with many young adults (47%) also reporting a high amount of sleep disturbance. A large percentage of young adults (68%) and some adolescents (37%) reported prolonged sleep latency and subsequent daytime dysfunction due to sleepiness [adolescents (63.0%) and young adults (77%)]. Sleep efficiency was inadequate in 59% of adolescent and 72% of young adults. More young adults (35%) than adolescents (7%) reported needing medication to sleep. Despite noted sleep deficiencies, subjective sleep quality was frequently rated as "very good" or "fairly good" by adolescents (91%) and young adults (72%). Midsleep time serves as a proxy for chronotype (morning or night person). Mean midsleep time was 4.75 and 4.95 in young adult and adolescent participants, indicating a late chronotype. Among sleep domains, sleep latency, subjective sleep quality, needing medication to sleep, and overall sleep quality were worse among young adults versus adolescents (p = .002 to .012). Conclusion : Adolescents and young adults with SCD had poor sleep quality across multiple PSQI domains. Young adults also reported poorer sleep quality in certain domains versus adolescents, suggesting that some sleep characteristics may worsen during transition. Results highlight the need to be vigilant for sleep problems and the need for sleep education for AYAs with SCD. Future studies focused on the efficacy of behavioral sleep medicine interventions that target sleep deficiencies in AYAs with SCD are also important. This study was limited by using a convenience sample rather than a random sample of patients from the clinic. This study is also cross-sectional and longitudinal efforts are needed to better understand the evolution of sleep difficulties during the AYA developmental period. Figure 1 Figure 1.
