Human health has suffered a lot as a result of changing times and technological advances. Poor sleep quality affects people of all ages, non- pharmacological solution is increasingly becoming a requirement. Exercises in the brain gym are a good contender in the competition. However, there is still more work to be done before a definitive conclusion can be made about its effectiveness as a intervention. This study aims to evaluate the sleep disturbance and effect of brain gym exercises in improving sleep in the undergraduate physiotherapy students. Here’s idea we suggest to evaluate the sleep disturbance and effect of brain gym exercises as an intervention with duration of practice as 5 days in a week with a section of 25 minutes which is completed in one hour. Insomnia Rating scale is used to get the desired population for giving the intervention and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), which has 86.5% specificity and 89.6% sensitivity. The duration of study will be six months. The study design is pre and post interventional study. In this Hypothesis we aim to assess the efficacy of brain gym exercises for improving quality of sleep and treating mild to moderate insomnia. Brain gym exercises are already proved to improve the attention, memory, cognition and provide relaxation. The expected outcome includes detection of sleep disturbances and improvement in sleep quality which will be evaluated using PSQI. Data analysis will be done using students paired t test and conclusion of the study will be published after the results are analyzed.

Study Results

Objective: This was a descriptive study with the objective to determine the sleep disturbances and the quality of sleep among patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVDs).Methods: Quantitative approach with non-experimental descriptive design was used. A semi-structured sleep disturbance questionnaire was used to determine the sleep disturbances, and a standardized Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index tool was used to assess the sleep quality among 100 subjects in Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, Kochi.Results: The study results showed that majority of the subjects (51%) were of the age group between 56 and 65 years, and 71% were male with CVD. Sleep disturbances were present in 80% of the subjects with CVD, among which 56% subjects had mild disturbances, 20% subjects with moderate sleep disturbances, and 4% subjects with severe sleep disturbances. The result also indicated that 48% of subjects had poor sleep quality. Findings also showed a highly statistically significant association between cardiomyopathy and sleep disturbances (p<0.001). Total cholesterol and low-density cholesterol levels were significantly associated with sleep disturbances (p<0.05). There is a highly significant association between sleep disturbances and quality of sleep (p<0.001), indicating that sleep disturbances can be one factor in decreasing the quality of sleep in patients with CVD.Conclusion: The results of the study indicated that sleep disturbances were prevalent in patients with CVD and often hazardous to heart health. As health practitioner and other health-care providers have not focused major attention on the importance of sleep to health, the need for providing information to them and patients regarding the importance of improving the quality of sleep and identifying the sleep disturbances will call for action to bring sleep to the forefront of public health.

Abstract BACKGROUND Sleep disturbances are common complaints in adult brain tumor patients and impact their quality of life profoundly. The prevalence and pattern of preoperative sleep disturbances are still unknown. MATERIAL AND METHOD There were 36 adult patients with primary brain tumors who were recruited before craniotomy. All participants completed a battery of questionnaires, including the Athens Insomnia Scale, Epworth Sleepiness Scale, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Brief Fatigue Inventory, Hospital Anxiety, and Depression Scale, Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire, and EORTC-QLQ-BN20. Actigraphy was put on a non-dominant wrist for obtaining objective sleep parameters, such as the dichotomy index. RESULT The prevalence of preoperative insomnia, poor sleep quality, excessive daytimes sleepiness, and circadian disruption were all high but similar between benign and malignant brain tumor groups. Patients with glioma had poorer quality of life. Insomnia was the only sleep disturbance that significantly associated with quality of life in a multivariate linear regression modal. CONCLUSION Sleep disturbances are common in adult brain tumor patients. Insomnia worse the quality of life of these patients. A further longitudinal investigation of sleep disturbances and quality of life in brain tumor patients is worthful.

Poor Sleep Quality

Elderly are particularly vulnerable groups that is prone to experiencing a decline in health related to a physiological decline. Vulnerability such as changes in structure of blood vessel walls lead to increased incidence of hypertension. Moreover, in uncontrolled conditions, elderly with hypertension can suffer symptoms of sleeping disorder, changes of sleep pattern that triggers the increasing of blood pressure and affect sleep quality. The purpose of this descriptive quantitative research was to describe the sleep quality of elderly with hypertension based on seven components of sleep quality assessment. The research design used a descriptive quantitative with a cross-sectional approach. The study was conducted at Ciparay and Garut Elderly Social Rehabilitation Centre, with number of the sample obtained 37 elderlies who were elected by total sampling technique. The result of this study showed that 89,2% of respondents had poor sleep quality. Several conditions that stimulate poor sleep quality in the elderly come from high blood pressure which causes sleep disturbances, thereby changing several sleep components such as short sleep duration less than 6 hours, sleep latency 15-30 minutes, decreased sleep efficiency below 85%, and activity dysfunction in daytime. Future research is expected to be able to modify sleep quality measuring instruments that are specifically used to measure the quality of sleep for people with hypertension.

Abstract Background: Adult Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is one of the neurodevelopmental disorders which is characterized by low focused concentration, distractibility, reduced self-regulation, and hyperactivity. They experience high rates of sleep and mental problems. Accordingly, the aim of this study was to investigate anxiety, depression, stress, and sleep among professional adult drivers with ADHD in an Iranian sample.Method: in this cross-sectional study, 547 professional adults drivers with ADHD that affirm their disorders by Conner adult ADHD rating scale (CAARS) complete survey that provides demographic data, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) for assessing quality of sleep, and DASS 21 survey to evaluate Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale.Results: professional adult drivers with ADHD reveals a significant association of anxiety, depression, stress with poor sleep quality. Among these drivers, Poor quality of sleep was substantially associated with driving at night (P=0.039), but no substantial correlation was found with age, marital status, education, a model of car, and daytime driving (P>0.05). Conclusion: Given the significant correlation of anxiety, depression, stress, and ADHD with low quality of sleep, ADHD drivers may be a potential preventive measure that contributes to the identification of vulnerable drivers in terms of psychological state and improvement of their quality of sleep by setting acceptable rules for juggling working hours and supporting acts.

e23100 Background: Sleep disturbances are highly prevalent in cancer patients and may be attributable to factors including pain, treatment side effects and psychological factors. However, the relationship between sleep and cancer is bidirectional. There is substantial evidence that sleep disturbance is associated with many aspects of cancer treatment, morbidity, mortality and quality of life. This study evaluated sleep quality in adult Filipinos with cancer and determined the association of demographic characteristics and clinical features to sleep quality. Methods: This was a cross-sectional surveillance study conducted among adult Filipinos with cancer seen at the Ambulatory Care Unit of a tertiary hospital. Questionnaires were answered to assess subjective sleep quality, pain score and quality of life. Frequency and percentages were determined. Determination of factors affecting sleep quality was analyzed using univariate and multivariate statistics. Results: Of the 406 cancer patients studied, 80% were women and the mean age was 53 years old. Majority (62%) had breast cancer. Seventy-nine percent (79%) of the patients had a PSQI score of 5 or greater, indicating poor sleep quality. Sleep among participants was characterized by prolonged time to fall asleep and shortened sleep duration. Majority reported some degree of daytime dysfunction due to poor sleep. Age, gender and marital status did not appear to affect the quality of sleep. Among disease-related factors, presence of more advanced disease, increasing pain severity and treatment with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy were demonstrated to lead to poorer sleep quality. Surprisingly, even patients who were not receiving any active therapies (on-going surveillance) complained of sleep disturbance. Upon further investigation, poor sleep quality was shown to predict a worse quality of life among the study participants. Conclusions: Overall, the quality of sleep among adult Filipinos with cancer is significantly impaired. In particular, presence of more advanced disease, treatment with chemotherapy and radiotherapy and moderate to severe pain significantly increase the risk of having poor sleep. In turn, disturbed sleep predicted a poorer quality of life. These findings support the need to include assessment of sleep quality for a more holistic approach to cancer care.
