Background Sleep quality can be measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). One component of the PSQI is duration of sleep, which is often highly inadequate in adolescents. Inadequate sleep may lead to obesity in adolescents.Objective To assess for an association between sleep quality and incidence of obesity in adolescents.Methods This case–control study was conducted at Santo Thomas I Senior High School, Medan, North Sumatera,  from July to August 2015. A total of 227 adolescents were divided into two groups: the case group consisting of 101 obese adolescents and the control group consisting of 126 non-obese adolescents. Study data was collected by questionnaires and PSQI. We interviewed subjects on their food consumption for the three days prior and calculated their average caloric intake. The data were analyzed by non-paired T-test, Chi-square, Mann-Whitney, and multivariate analyses.Results There was a significant association between sleep quality and obesity [OR 3.87 (95%CI 1.920 to 7.829)]. Median PSQI (range) score in the obese group was significantly higher than in the non-obese group [6.00 (2-16) vs. 5.00 (2-12), respectively (P=0.0001)]. In addition, sleep latency (P=0.002) and sleep duration (P=0.0001) were significantly different between groups. Multivariate analysis revealed a significant association between poor sleep quality and high caloric intake.Conclusion Sleep duration in obese adolescents is significantly shorter than that in non-obese adolescents. In addition, sleep latency in obese adolescents was significantly longer than that in non-obese adolescents.

The Impact

Abstract Objectives Sleep quality has been associated with a number of health conditions such as cognitive impairment and cardiovascular disease. 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is known as a precursor of the sleep regulating serotonin and melatonin. However, 5-HTP's efficacy for improving sleep in older adults is unclear. The aim of this study is to assess the impact of 5-HTP on sleep quality in older Singaporean adults. Methods This study is a single-blinded, 12-week parallel randomized controlled trial, where 20 older adults (67 ± 4 years, mean ± SD; 8 M, 12 F) were randomly assigned to either consume or not consume 100 mg 5-HTP daily. Sleep quality data were collected every 4 weeks via both subjective and objective measures such as Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire and actigraphy watch. A global sleep score (GSS) was obtained from the PSQI, where a GSS > 5 has been validated to be associated with poor sleep quality. In addition, other sleep quality components that were also extracted include total sleep time (TST), sleep latency (SL) and sleep efficiency (SE). The main effect and interaction of 5-HTP on sleep were evaluated by repeated-measure analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results At baseline, subjects had an overall GSS of 5.9 ± 3.1 a.u. (5-HTP group: 6.3 ± 3.8 a.u.; Control group: 5.5 ± 2.3 a.u.) and this indicated poor sleep quality. Consumption of 5-HTP after 4 and 8 weeks showed a favorable decrease in their objective SL (SLObj) from their baseline (week 4: −18.2 ± 21.1 min; week 8: −17.8 ± 19.2 min). On the other hand, the control group did not display desirable change in SLObj (week 4: 2.4 ± 21.6 min; week 8: 1.5 ± 21.4 min). Repeated-measures ANOVA revealed a significant treatment-by-time effect between 5-HTP consumption and SLObj at week 4 (P = 0.045) and week 8 (P = 0.033), but not at week 12 (P = 0.135). A significant treatment-by-time decrease in subjective TST (−0.1 ± 0.4 hrs, P = 0.027) observed at week 12. No changes in GSS and other subjective and objective measures of sleep quality were detected. Conclusions Older adults had poor sleep quality and 5-HTP supplementation helped reduce sleep latency for up to 8 weeks. Prolonged effects were not observed, and this may be due to acclimation of the body to longer-term 5-HTP supplementation. Funding Sources NUS iHealthtech Microbiome in Health, Disease and Ageing.

Background and Objective: Studies indicate that people with multiple sclerosis (MS) are at increased risk of sleep disorders and the resulting negative outcomes. The aim of this study was to evaluate sleep quality in patients with MS. Materials and Methods: In this case-control study, 110 patients with all confirmed types of MS as a case group and 110 healthy subjects as control group were evaluated in terms of sleep quality using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The data collected was analyzed using t-test and chi-square tests. Results: Total score of PSQI was significantly higher in patients with MS than that of the control group (7.32 ± 2.78 vs. 5.30 ± 2.00, P = 0.001). Furthermore, PSQI scores of patients with MS was significantly higher than that of the control group in subscales including sleep latency (1.14 ± 0.99 vs 0.85 ± 0.91, P = 0.029), sleep duration (1.09 ± 0.80 vs. 0.83 ± 0.88, P = 0.048), habitual sleep efficiency (1.15 ± 0.92 vs. 0.85 ± 0.83, P = 0.017), sleep disturbance (1.25 ± 0.96 vs 0.96 ± 0.88, P = 0.013), use of sleep medication (0.69 ± 0.94 vs. 0.33 ± 0.65, P = 0.001), and daytime dysfunction (0.88 ± 0.93 vs. 32.2 ± 0.69, P = 0.001). Conclusion: Patients with MS had a significantly more improper sleep quality compared to the control group. So, poor sleep quality has a negative effect on daily activities and social communication of these patients and generally reduce their quality of life (QOL).

Abstract Introduction Recently, targeted marketing has encouraged teen e-cigarette vaping. Although e-cigarettes are often presented as a safe alternative to conventional tobacco, their toxicity is unclear. In adults, we have previously observed a link between dual usage of e-cigarettes and tobacco with increased sleep latency. We hypothesized an association between dual usage and increased sleep latency. Methods Participants were recruited to complete social media surveys. We performed three surveys: Survey 1 (n=47) in 2018, Survey 2 (n=1198) in 2019, and Survey 3 (n=564) in 2020. Surveys 1 and 2 had three sections: past and current inhalant use, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Leicester Cough Questionnaire (LCQ). Survey 3 did not include the LCQ, instead including the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ9). The adolescent data (aged 13–20 years; n=609) were isolated. Results Adolescents reported an increase in sleep duration with increasing age by one-way ANOVA. Males reported no change with increasing age, while, by Tukey’s multiple comparisons test, females got significantly more sleep at ages 19 and 20 than at age 14(p<0.01). There was no significant correlation between inhalant use and sleep duration. When broken down by gender, female dual users slept more than female nonsmokers,(p=0.01; mean difference=43.8 minutes; CI=0.11 to 1.36), while there was no difference in males. We observed a significant association between inhalant use and sleep(p=0.0008), with dual use correlated with a longer sleep latency than nonsmokers (mean difference=6.27 minutes; CI=1.40 to 11.13. We saw no correlation between inhalant use and anxiety or depression, nor between inhalant use and cough severity and prevalence. Conclusion In female adolescents, we observed a peak in sleep hours at age 19 but significantly less sleep in fourteen-year olds. College-aged females may have a later wake time relative to middle-school and high-school aged females. Dual inhalant use in females was associated with a long sleep duration, raising concern for sleep disruption caused by dual use. Dual use’s association with increased sleep latency raises concern for nicotine-induced wakefulness. Further data are required in order to define public health strategies.

AbstractPreliminary findings suggest that pets may impact the owner’s sleep. By using data from the Swedish CArdioPulmonary bIoimage Study (SCAPIS) cohort, we aimed to investigate the association of pet ownership with the following self-reported sleep outcomes in 3788 to 4574 participants: (i) achieving the recommended daily sleep duration for adults (i.e., at least 7 h per day); (ii) sleep quality as measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (a score of > 5 indicating poor sleep quality); and (iii) difficulty falling or staying asleep. Sleep metrics were not associated with pet ownership, dog ownership, and dog walking when controlling the logistic regression for possible confounders (e.g., shift work, lack of social interaction, and chronic stress). In contrast, cat ownership was associated with a higher odds ratio of failing to achieve the recommended duration of 7 h of sleep per day (adjusted odds ratio [95% CI]:1.18 [1.02, 1.37] versus non-cat owners). Our findings suggest that certain pet groups might have a more significant impact on the owner’s sleep than others. As the observed association between cat ownership and short sleep duration might be a chance finding, this observation should be seen as hypothesis-generating only.

Abstract Study Objectives Poor sleep is commonly problematic during pregnancy and postpartum and is associated with depression. This trial investigated the efficacy of prenatal brief, group sleep psychoeducation in improving postpartum maternal sleep, and depression. Methods A total of 215 healthy expectant first-time mothers were cluster randomized (1:1) to receive either a 2 × 1.5 h psychoeducation intervention and a set of booklets, or a set of booklets only. Participants completed questionnaires during pregnancy (pre-intervention), and 6 weeks and 4 months postpartum. A post hoc subset of questionnaires was collected at 10 months postpartum. The primary hypothesis was the intervention group would have improved postpartum sleep quality, and reduced levels of insomnia symptoms, fatigue, and daytime sleepiness compared to the control group. Secondary outcomes included depression, anxiety, and stress. Results Linear mixed model analyses failed to confirm a group by time interaction on primary or secondary outcomes across all time points. There was no effect of the intervention on outcomes at 6 weeks, or 10 months postpartum. A significant time by group interaction was found at 4 months, favoring the intervention for sleep quality (p = 0.03) and insomnia symptoms (p = 0.03), but not fatigue or daytime sleepiness. Conclusions Prenatal sleep psychoeducation did not produce a sustained effect on maternal sleep throughout the postpartum period. There was little evidence of benefits on depressive symptoms.

Abstract Introduction Poor sleep quality is common during pregnancy and can increase the risk of adverse obstetric and fetal outcomes. Existing research on the association between prenatal sleep and infant sleep is scarce and has focused on other aspects of prenatal sleep such as sleep duration, chronotype, and insomnia symptoms. To our knowledge, no studies have examined the association between prenatal sleep quality and infant sleep outcomes. Thus, this study aimed to investigate whether maternal sleep quality during pregnancy was prospectively associated with infant sleep dimensions, independent of relevant covariates. Methods Participants were a subset of 272 mother-infant dyads enrolled in an ongoing cohort study. Maternal prenatal sleep quality was assessed with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) in early to mid- (M gestational age = 15.12 ± 3.56 weeks) and late- (M gestational age = 32.44 ± 0.99 weeks) pregnancy. Mothers completed the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BISQ) at 3, 6, and 12 months postpartum. The following infant sleep parameters were assessed: sleep duration (day, night, 24-hour), number of night awakenings, and wake after sleep onset. Prenatal depressive symptoms were assessed with the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) at both pregnancy time points. Other covariates included maternal age at enrollment, infant age, parity, and co-sleeping status. Results Generalized estimating equations (GEE) models revealed that poorer maternal sleep quality during early-to-mid pregnancy did not significantly predict infant sleep parameters after adjustment for covariates (p > .05). However, in late pregnancy, poorer maternal sleep quality significantly predicted shorter 24-hour sleep duration and longer wake after sleep onset, but not daytime sleep duration, nighttime sleep duration, and number of night awakenings (p < .05). Conclusion Study findings advance our understanding of the prospective link between maternal prenatal sleep quality and infant sleep. Results indicate that maternal sleep quality during late gestation may play a role in the development of infant sleep patterns. These findings have important implications for intervention efforts targeting maternal sleep quality during pregnancy. Future research should use objective measures of sleep, such as actigraphy, to better elucidate the effects of prenatal sleep quality on infant sleep outcomes.

The main purpose of the present study was to explore the associations of sleep duration and sleep quality with self-rated health. In this cross-sectional study, participants were 894 elderly individuals. Self-rated health, sleep duration, and sleep quality were self-reported. The associations were examined using multiple logistic regression analyses.After adjusting for sex, physical activity, smoking consumption, alcohol consumption, psychological distress, socioeconomic status, and chronic disease/s, sleeping <6 h (OR (Odds ratio) = 3.21; 95% CI (95 percent confident interval) 1.61 to 6.39), 6–7 h (OR = 2.47; 95% CI 1.40 to 4.36), 8–9 h (OR = 3.26; 95% CI 1.82 to 5.83), and >9 h (OR = 3.62; 95% CI 1.57 to 8.34) and having ‘poor’ sleep quality (≥5 points; OR = 2.33; 95% CI 1.46 to 3.73) were associated with ‘poor’ self-rated health. When sleep duration and sleep quality were entered simultaneously into the model, the same associations remained. Our findings provide evidence that both ‘short’ and ‘long’ sleep and ‘poor’ sleep quality are associated with ‘poor’ self-rated health. Thus, interventions that promote healthy sleep hygiene in the elderly are warranted.

Abstract Background : To assess the association of sleep duration and quality with the risk of preterm birth. Methods : Relevant studies were retrieved from the PubMed and Web of Science databases up to September 30, 2018. The reference lists of the retrieved articles were reviewed. Random effects models were applied to estimate summarized relative risks (RRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Results : Ten identified studies (nine cohort studies and one case-controlled study) examined the associations of sleep duration and quality with the risk of preterm birth. As compared with women with the longest sleep duration, the summary RR was 1.23 (95% CI = 1.01–1.50) for women with the shortest sleep duration, with moderate between-study heterogeneity ( I 2 = 57.4%). Additionally, as compared with women with good sleep quality, the summary RR was 1.54 (95% CI = 1.18–2.01) for women with poor sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index > 5), with high between-study heterogeneity ( I 2 = 76.7%). Funnel plots as well as the Egger’s and Begg’s tests revealed no evidence of publication bias. Conclusions : This systematic review and meta-analysis revealed that short sleep duration and poor sleep quality may be associated with an increased risk of preterm birth. Further subgroup analyses are warranted to test the robustness of these findings as well as to identify potential sources of heterogeneity.

The aim of this study was to systematically examine the literature on physical activity and sleep in non-clinical and population-based settings. The inclusion criteria were original studies testing the association between physical activity (as exposure) and sleep (as outcome) in representative samples of the general population, workers, or undergraduate students. Sleep health included sleep duration, sleep quality and insomnia. Studies evaluating samples including only individuals with some disease or a health condition were excluded. A search was performed in the PubMed, Scopus, Lilacs, CINAHL, and SPORTdiscus databases in March 2018. Data extraction was performed using the following items: year, author, country, population, age group, sample size, study design, sleep measurement/definition, physical activity measurement/definition, adjustment and main results. A total of 57 studies were selected, which markedly used heterogeneous instruments to measure physical activity and sleep. The majority were conducted in high-income countries and with cross-sectional design. Physical activity was associated with lower odds of insomnia (observed in 10 of 17 studies), poor sleep quality (observed in 12 of 19 studies) and long sleep duration (observed in 7 of 11 studies). The results about short sleep or continuous sleep duration remain unclear. Physical activity seems to be associated with sleep quality and insomnia, especially among adult and elderly populations in which these outcomes are more usually measured. The short- and long-term effects of physical activity intensities and dose-response on sleep should be better evaluated.

Abstract Study objectives: Poor sleep quality is a major problem that patients with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) face, which is attributed to their low melatonin levels. Melatonin supplementation is recommended, but its effectiveness is varied. Beta-glucans have previously been reported to improve melatonin levels in animal studies. Therefore, we examined the effectiveness of Aureobasidium pullulans (Nichi Glucan), a species of black yeast that contains beta-1,3/1,6-glucan, in a pilot study of children with ASD. Methods Thirteen children (age = 2.5 to 13 years) with ASD were recruited into the study. The control group consisted of four patients (Gr. 1), while nine patients were in the treatment group (Gr. 2). Gr. 2 received 1 g of Nichi Glucan along with conventional therapy, whereas Gr. 1 underwent conventional therapy alone for 90 days. The serum melatonin levels and sleep patterns, assessed using a subjective questionnaire, were evaluated before and after treatment. Results In Gr. 2, the average serum melatonin level increased from 238.85 ng/dl pre-intervention to 394.72 ng/dl post-intervention. Eight out of nine subjects (88%) in Gr. 2 group showed and improvement in their sleep pattern and quality, while this improvement was not observed in the control group. Conclusions Our study is the first in the literature to report that consumption of Nichi Glucan for 90 days showed visible improvement in sleep quality, sleep pattern, and serum melatonin levels. A larger multicentre study is warranted to validate our findings.
