Sleep is one of the basic human needs that is useful for maintaining mental, emotional and health balance when awake. However, physical and physiological changes in the elderly coupled with health status and disease have an impact on the decline in the quality of sleep. The elders usually experience increased sleep latency, inability to initiate sleep, reduced sleep efficiency, sleeplessness, waking up faster, rhythm of sircadian disorders, and increased time for napping. The elders in Deli Serdang Regency chose to consume alcohol to overcome their sleep problems. This descriptive analytic study aims to analyze the relationship between alcohol consumption habits, especially palm wine and sleep quality of elders in Deli Serdang Regency. This study uses a cross sectional design with a quantitative approach. The population in this study were all elders living in Deli Serdang Regency. Sampling was done by purposive sampling technique. The sample size were 153 people and to anticipate the low response rate the sample was added by ten percent to 164 elderly people. The results showed that from simple regression logistic test, it was obtained that the palm wine consumption variable with p score = 0.023 PR = 12.115 (95% CI 1.421 - 103.276). Alcohol consumption factors were factors that are very likely to be changed by controlling excessive drinking (palm wine) alcoholic behavior. It would be better if the alcohol consumption habits (palm wine) were stopped because remembering the long-term effects of alcohol which not only affect the quality of sleep to be bad but also can affect one's health status.

Abstract A person's sleep quality is said to be good if it does not show a variety of signs of sleep deprivation and does not experience sleep problems. Sleep disorders are commonly found among young adults, especially students who later can lead to reduced concentration of learning and health problems. This can cause the achievement of academic achievement optimally because the learning process is disrupted. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of quantity and quality of sleep with the competency test DIII Nursing Ministry of Health Polytechnic Jakarta I. The research design used was an analytical method with a cross sectional design. The research sample was a total sampling of students DIII Health Ministry Polytechnic nursing Jakarta I who had graduated in 2017 with 76 respondents. Sleep quality data was taken using the Pittsburg sleep quality index (PSQI) and the 2017 competency test graduation value. The results of this study indicate there is no relationship between the quality and quantity of sleep and the graduation of nursing competency tests.

Introduction Pregnancy is characterized by several changes in her body. These changes contribute to the emergence of low back pain, which may influence the quality of sleep during pregnancy. Objective To compare the quality of sleep among pregnant women with and without low back pain during pregnancy, examining the relationship between two variables. Materials methods Thirty volunteers aged between 19 and 36 years, divided into control group (CG – n = 16) and Study Group (SG – n = 14), residents in the cities of Natal, were evaluated in the second trimester of pregnancy. To sleep evaluation were used to index the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Low back pain was evaluated using the pressure algometer, Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and Oswestry Disability Index. Statistical analysis used the Shapiro Wilk test, Student’s T test for independent samples and Pearson correlation test. Results The mean gestational and chronological ages were 28.2 ± 3.4 years and 19.9 ± 3.7 weeks, respectively. Sleep quality was lower in SG (8.21 ± 4.8) when compared to CG (5.94 ± 1.7) and was statistically significant (P = 0.021). Analyzing the relationship between sleep quality and pain intensity, it was observed that the variables have a positive correlation between them (r = 0.372, P = 0.043). Conclusion Our findings indicate that sleep quality is decreased in women with low back pain compared to those without pain.

Many patients with alcohol use disorder experienced insomnia or sleep disturbances. However, their sleep problems rarely addressed in the treatment process. It may prove beneficial if treatment programs should intend to help prevent the recurrence of alcohol use disorder by solving patients’ sleep-induced problems and accordingly include appropriate sleep interventions. The present study employed a descriptive design and conducted a cross-sectional survey to assess the relationship among sleep quality, score on the Stages of Change Readiness and Treatment Eagerness Scale (SOCRATES), abstinence self-efficacy, and quality of life in inpatients with alcohol use disorders. Data were collected from June to August 2018, from 117 patients admitted to the psychiatric ward for alcohol-use patients in two mental hospitals in South Korea. Sleep quality was significantly correlated with the SOCRATES score (r = .247, p = .007) and quality of life (r = -.346, p = .001). However, it showed no relationship with abstinence self-efficacy (r = -.066, p = .477). These findings suggest that abstinence programs need to employ a comprehensive approach instead of primarily focusing on maintaining abstinence and cessation of alcohol use. However, both sleep disturbances and alcohol abstinence require patience and prolonged treatment. Thus, it is a challenge to design concrete interventions to address the sleep problems experienced by patients with alcohol use disorder.

Abstract This study proposed and tested a conceptual model of academic expectation stress, sleep quality, and attention in EFL class. These variables did not receive much attention in previous studies but are considered important to medical students’ attention in EFL class. Data were collected from 496 medical students from a medical university in Taiwan. Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) technique was used to examine the path effect in the research model. The results found that (1) higher academic expectation stress leads to higher attention in EFL class; (2) higher academic stress causes poorer sleep quality; (3) poorer sleep quality leads to lower attention in EFL class. A mediator was also identified in this model: sleep quality was found to partially mediate the relationship between academic expectation stress and attention in EFL class. The results may advance the current literature in medical education and applied linguistics by moving a step closer to understand these three variables.

Background: Infectious disease remains a health problem for the elderly. The elderly are susceptible to infection,because the body's ability to fight infection decreases immunity. The immune status can be improved through the effortsof immunization, and nutrition. However the elderly are not sufficient to meet the nutritional needs of food, so probioticcould support nutritional adequacy.Objective: Analyze the effect of probiotic Lactobacillus helveticus Rosell-52 and Lactobacillus rhamnosus Rosell-11 onlevels of lymphocytes in the elderly in Tresna Elderly Social Institution Puspakarma Mataram, West Nusa Tenggara.Methods: This was quasi-experimental study, randomized pre-post control group design. The population is elderly aged60-75 years, involving 45 subjects were divided randomly into two groups, namely the treatment groups givenprobiotics and the control group was given a placebo. Probiotics were given for 4 weeks, with the provision of onecapsule a day. Immunity status in this study was lymphocytes. Data examined included the intake of nutrients (protein,vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, Fe, Zn), health status, quality of sleep, and levels of lymphocytes in the elderly. Datawere analyzed using bivariate with different test Independent sample t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Spearman, Pearson,and Paired t-test.Results: Increasing number of lymphocytes were significantly in the treatment group (χ ± SD: 1.84 ± 1.85) and in thecontrol group (0.95 ± 5.0). There is no relationship between intake (protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin E, Fe, Zink),physical health status, and quality of sleep with levels of lymphocytes.Conclusion: Probiotics in 4 weeks is proven to increase the number of lymphocytes in the elderly.

Healthy sleep is not only the most important source of restoring the body's strength, but also a way to overcome traumatic events and stress, as well as a resource for the effective functioning of the human nervous system. Many studies confirm the relationship between the duration and quality of sleep and the health status of the population. At the same time, in modern conditions, socio-demographic characteristics of the population are of great importance in determining sleep. The main sleep disorders are recognized not only as a reduction in its duration, but also as a deterioration in quality (problems with falling asleep, a feeling of unreconstructed strength). The purpose of this article is to study the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of sleep in the population (including in the context of the main socio-demographic groups), the prevalence of factors of its disorders and their impact on subjective health assessments. The information base was data from monitoring of physical health of the Vologda oblast population in 2020 (n = 1500). The study identified risk categories for quantitative and qualitative sleep disorders; confirmed the relationship of stress factors, noise pollution and poor housing conditions with the frequency of sleep disorders; proved the impact of sleep problems on self-assessment of health.

The Spanish state of alarm, for the COVID-19 outbreak, resulted in mobility restrictions, changes of habits and sleep disorders. We are investigating whether these disorders can be reduced with the practice of physical activity (PA). A questionnaire was administered to 1,046 people (48.57% men and 51.43% women), with an average age of 40 years (SD: ±13.35). A descriptive quantitative methodology based on a non-purposive sample was used and the data were subjected to non-parametric tests. Regarding rest (quantity of hours of sleep) increased in general, going from 7.13 hours to 7.65 (p=.000), whereas sleep quality worsened, the score decreased from 3.67 to 3.24, p=.000. For the age ranges (18 to 24 years, 25 to 64 and 65 or older), there was significant data (quality and quantity) for the first two ranges (p=.000), and none for the third. The relationship between PA practice and hours/quality of sleep, there were no significant correlations in the entire sample (p=.191, p=.113). The main finding was no significant correlation for any age ranges (sleep quantity & sleep quality), except for the group of 18-24 years. This result contradicts the findings of previous studies. Resumen. El estado de alarma en España, por el brote de COVID-19, se tradujo en restricciones de movilidad, cambios de hábitos y trastornos del sueño. Se investiga si dichos trastornos pueden reducirse con la práctica de actividad física (AF). Se administra cuestionario a 1.046 personas (48,57% hombres y 51,43% mujeres), con una edad media de 40 años (DE: ±13,35). Se emplea metodología cuantitativa de corte descriptivo basado en muestra no intencional y los datos se someten a pruebas no paramétricas. En cuanto al descanso (cantidad de horas de sueño) aumentó en general, pasando de 7,13 horas a 7,65 (p=.000), mientras que la calidad del sueño empeoró, la puntuación disminuyó de 3,67 a 3,24, p=.000. Para los rangos de edad (18 a 24 años, 25 a 64 y 65 o más), hubo datos significativos (calidad y cantidad) para los dos primeros rangos (p=.000), y ninguno para el tercero. La relación entre la práctica de AF y las horas/calidad de sueño, no hubo correlaciones significativas en toda la muestra (p=.191, p=.113). El principal hallazgo fue que no hubo correlación significativa para ningún rango de edad (cantidad y calidad del sueño), excepto para el grupo de 18-24 años. Este resultado contradice conclusiones de estudios anteriores.

Introduction:Sleep is naturally recurring state of mind and body, characterized by altered consciousness, inhibition of nearly all voluntary muscles and reduced interactions with surroundings. Chronic disturbances can lead to poor sleep quality which may manifest as increased irritability, anxiety, tension, depression, confusion. The undergraduate years are a period of vulnerability when considering sleep problems and mental health may tend to worsen over time. Alcohol, tobacco, and stimulant beverages such as tea/ caffeine affect the quality of sleep. Students are more prone to adopt and practice maladaptive sleep hygiene such as irregular bedtime, academic pressure, internet addiction, electronic media exposure, alcohol consumption and smoking, which affects quality of sleep. Material and Methods:The study was a cross sectional, interview based, non-interventional studyconducted on the engineering students at SGT University, Budhera, Gurgaon, Haryana, India. Data was collected through questionnaires such as Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, The Epworth `Sleepiness Scale, Depression Anxiety Stress Scale, The general health questionnaire. Results:A total of 274 students were included in the study. The mean age was20.11 ± 1.30 years and there were more male (77.3%) students as compared to females (22.7%). Alcohol use was present in 43(11.7%) of students, cannabis intake was present in 11(4%), nicotine intake was reported by 39(14.2%) of students and only one student reported of taking opioid. DASS-A, DASS-S, DASS-D, GHQ-12, PSQI were positively correlated with each other when associations were studied individually. Conclusion:In our study,it was established that poor sleep quality in engineering students was significantly associated with poor mental and physical health.
