Relevance of the topic. Most authors agree that physical activity (PA) affects sleep (Kredlow et al., 2015), but it remains unclear how the quality of sleep varies with individual PA schedule and daily immobility. The goal was to identify the interfaces between physical activity and sleep quality for 18–25-year-old students. Research methods. The International Physical Activity Questionnaire, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, smart watches Polar A300 were used. Results of the study. By analysing the obtained study data, 2 groups were formed according to physical activity: medium PA (56.1%) and high PA (43.9%). The quality of sleep among students was as follows: good (36.4%), bad (63.6%). Signifcant correlations were found between PA aspects and falling asleep time, PSQI. There were no signifcant interfaces between PA aspects and sleep duration. Conclusions. The majority of students were of moderate physical activity, less high physical activity and there were no students of low physical activity. Poor quality of sleep prevailed among students. Weak interfaces were identifed between continuous sitting and the time of useless sleep. Dependences were also found between sleep quality and the duration of intense physical activity as well as the level of physical activity. Signifcant dependencies were not established between the time of day of intense physical activity or the intense physical activity type and sleep quality itself, although the latter signifcantly affected the duration of sleep, the time of awakening and the length of useless sleep.Keywords: students, physical activity, sleep quality, long sitting.

Background: The coronavirus pandemic and the government restrictions significantly disturbed the daily functioning of people, thereby influencing healthy behaviors, such as physical activity—the core indicator of well-being. This study evaluates the associations between physical activity (PA), the level of stress and quality of sleep during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. Methods: An online survey was distributed during the governmental lockdown in April 2020 and included measures for assessing physical activity, stress and sleep. The surveyed participants included all adults aged 18 years and over. The final data were collected from the 1959 respondents using: International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Findings: Almost half of the respondents indicated a low level of PA, performing only 60 min of PA daily. Most of the participants reported a moderate or high level of stress (57% and 29%, respectively) and 64% of them reported poor quality of sleep. People with low levels of stress performed on average 85.1 min/day of walking (WPA), 40.9 min/day of moderate PA (MPA) or 52.6 min/day of vigorous PA (VPA). People with good quality of sleep performed 82.9 min/day of WPA, 43.6 min/day MPA and 40.5 min/day VPA. Interpretation: The results from the study indicate that the volume of daily PA may be a predictor of the level of stress and sleep quality in adults during the COVID-19 pandemic lockdown. To retain a low level of stress and good quality of sleep, a lifestyle that allows to achieve a moderate level of physical activity should be maintained. The optimal daily dose of PA is at least 70 min per day, involving different intensities.

A good high-quality of sleep and it's have an effect on in daily existence of both the healthful and sick character turns into one of the most important cognizance of problem. Aims: The study aimed to assess the Quality of Sleep and Perceived Sleep Distractors among patients. Methods: Non-Experimental descriptive research design was conducted among 135 patients through convenient sampling technique. Modied Sleep quality Scale and Structured Perceived Sleep Distractors Perfoma was used. Results: Showed (27.4%) of the patients had poor quality of sleep, most of the patients (47.4%) were having fair quality of sleep. Most of the patients (52.6%) were having severe distractions while sleeping, less than half (44.4%) were having moderate level of distractions while sleeping only (3.0%) perceived very severe distraction during hospital stay. There was a moderate positive relationship between Quality of Sleep and Perceived Sleep Distractors NS Score(r=0.113, p=0.19 ). Further the results also indicated that quality of sleep is only associated with Patient admitted in 2 2 (department) (χ = 30.652, p=0.01) whereas perceived sleep distractors is associated with Education status (χ = 17.280, 2 2 p=0.02), Duration of Hospitalization (χ = 45.425, p=0.00), Patient admitted in (department) (χ = 28.066, p=0.03).Conclusion: The study concludes that there is a need to identify factors responsible that hinders good quality sleep among patients admitted in hospital as well as the sleep quality can be enhanced by decreasing the sleep distractors and thus it can be helpful in the early recovery of the patients

IntroductionShift work associated with many health problems, work performance and injury. Disturbance of sleep quality is the main mechanism of shift work effects. Nurses are at risk of many occupational hazards and also shift work. The information about shiftwork and the association of sleep quality amongst nurses of Thailand is still limit.ObjectiveTo study the association of shift work and quality of sleep and which pattern has highest risk of poor quality of sleep amongst nurses in university hospital in Northeastern region of Thailand.Material and methodOne thousand and one hundred nurses were met inclusion and exclusion criteria with 75.5%(n=831) participation rate. The data was collected via questionnaire including personal information, shift schedule, depression screening questionnaire, obstructive sleep apnea screening questionnaire and sleep quality questionnaire (PSQI). Cross-sectional analytical study was conducted.ResultAll patterns of shift work amongst sample were irregular shift work. There were statistically significant association between shift work and poor quality of sleep . Predominant backward shift pattern has higher association of poor quality of shiftwork than predominant forward shift pattern.ConclusionEven shift work associate with poor quality of sleep but good strategy of shift work scheduling help to decrease risk of poor quality of sleep.

Quality Of Sleep

Background: Aging causes physiological changes which affect the quality of sleep. Supervised physical exercise is an important therapeutic resource to improve the sleep of the elderlies, however there is a low adherence to those type of programs, so it is necessary to implement an exercise program which is feasible and effective. The study aimed to test the hypothesis that a semi-supervised home exercise program, improves sleep quality and daytime sleepiness of elderlies of the community who present poor sleep quality. Methods: This was a randomized controlled trial study, conducted from May to September 2017, in Northeastern Brazil, with elderlies of the community aging 60 years old or older, sedentary, with lower scores or equal to 5 at the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and without cognitive decline. From one hundred ninety-one potential participants twenty-eight refused to participate, therefore, one hundred thirty-one (mean age 68 ± 7 years), and 88% female, were randomly assigned to an intervention group - IG (home exercise and sleep hygiene, n = 65) and a control group - CG (sleep hygiene only, n = 66). Sleep assessment tools were used: PSQI, Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) and clinical questionnaire of Berlin. The level of physical activity has been assessed by means of International Physical Activity Questionnaire adapted for the elderly (IPAQ) and Mini-Mental State Examination for cognitive decline. All participants were assessed before and after the 12-week intervention period and, also, the assessors were blind. Results: The IG showed significant improvement in quality of sleep with a mean reduction of 4.9 ± 2.7 points in the overall PSQI (p < 0.01) and in all its 7 components of evaluation (p < 0.05), and improvement of secondary endpoint, daytime sleepiness, a decline of 2.8 ± 2.2 points in the ESS (p < 0.01). Conclusion: Our results suggest that semi-supervised home exercise is effective in improving the quality of sleep and self-referred daytime sleepiness of sedentary elderlies of the community who presented sleep disorders.

Chronic kidney disease significantly impairs patients’ daily lives and worsens their quality of life. The aim of this study was to investigate the physical activity and quality of sleep, during three days (previous day of dialysis, on the day of dialysis and after day of dialysis), in patients with end-stage renal on hemodialysis. 12 hemodialysis patients were included in our study, answered the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire, and for each patient were used a smart bracelet for three days (day-pre- and posthemodialysis and day at hemodialysis) to record daily physical activity (steps, distance) and estimate the quality of sleep. Results showed differences between three days average of steps and distance and PSQI parameters “…engaging in social activity?” (steps, p=0.006, distance, p=0.006) and “…enthusiasm to get things done?” (steps, p=0.029, distance, p=0.030). Our study suggests interrelationship between sleep quality and physical activity.

Background: Problematic Internet use (PIU) is the inability of individuals to control their Internet use, resulting in marked distress and/or functional impairment in daily life. Aim/Objective: We assessed the frequency of PIU and predictors of PIU, including social anxiety disorder (SAD), quality of sleep, quality of life and Internet-related demographic variables among school going adolescents. Methods: This was an observational, single-centered, cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study of 1,312 school going adolescents studying in Grades 10, 11 and 12 in Bhavnagar, India. Every participant was assessed by a pro forma containing demographic details, questionnaires of Internet Addiction Test (IAT), Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) for PIU severity, SAD severity, Quality of Sleep assessment and Quality of Life assessment, respectively. The statistical analysis was done with SPSS Version 23 (IBM Corporation) using chi-square test, Student’s t test and Pearson’s correlation. Multiple linear regression analysis was applied to find the predictors of PIU. Results: We found frequency of PIUs as 16.7% and Internet addiction as 3.0% among school going adolescents. Participants with PIU are more likely to experience SAD ( p < .0001), poor quality of sleep ( p < .0001) and poor quality of life ( p < .0001). There is positive correlation between severity of PIU and SAD ( r = .411, p < .0001). Linear regression analysis shows PIU can be predicted by SAD, sleep quality, quality of life, English medium, male gender, total duration of Internet use, monthly cost of Internet use, education, social networking, gaming, online shopping and entertainment as purpose of Internet use. Conclusion: Participants with PIU are more likely to experience SAD, poor quality of sleep and poor quality of life.

Poor sleep is a relatively common condition with possibly serious adverse health consequences. Lack of sleep affects the endocrine, immune, and nervous systems. In Cyprus, there is no information about the quality of sleep in the population. The goal of this study was to assess the quality of sleep in the Cypriot population and evaluate its association with multimorbidity. A representative sample of the adult population of Cyprus was selected in 2018–2019 among the five government-controlled municipalities of the Republic of Cyprus using stratified sampling. Data on sleep quality as well as on the presence of chronic, clinical, and mental health conditions were collected using a validated questionnaire. Diseases were classified according to the International Classification of Diseases, 10th Revision (ICD-10). A total of 1,140 Cypriot men and women over 18-years of age (range: 18–94) participated in the study. The median Pittsburgh sleep quality index score of the participants was 5 (first quartile = 3, third quartile = 7) with the maximum score being 17, which suggests that the Cypriot population has a relatively good quality of sleep overall, although, almost one-third of the study population had a poor quality of sleep. Women, residents of Paphos, and married people had a poorer quality of sleep (p &lt; 0.05). Having a poor quality of sleep was associated with higher odds of multimorbidity (OR = 2.21, 95% CI: 1.55, 3.16), even after adjusting for demographics, socioeconomic, and lifestyle factors. Adopting good sleep habits could be beneficial and would potentially help reduce the risk of multimorbidity. Public health guidelines regarding the importance of sleep and its association with multimorbidity should be considered.

Purposive Sample

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.

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronical community health problem, and mostly suffered by the elderly. The elderly with DM have several symptoms at night that caused a sleep disorder and it may be affected by the poor quality of sleep.  The poor quality of sleep has several negative impacts to elderly including sleepy in the daylight, a lack of attention, memory disorders, depression, easy to fall, and reduce of the quality of life. There is a need for a study that assesses the sleep quality of elderly with DM. This study used descriptive quantitative approach. The samples were chosen using total sampling technique. This study involved 47 elderly with DM in the primary health center (PHC) Garuda. The data were collected using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) Questionnaire that has been adapted for elders. The data were analyzed using distribution frequency. The results showed that the majority of elderly had a poor sleep quality (51%). All elders in this study had sleep disorders, and some of them had behavior that affected   their sleep quality, such as sleeping in a bright room (n=25), sleeping in low temperature room (n=27), and consuming caffeine (n=28). Nurses in the community setting are expected to provide health education to maintenance a good sleep quality, such as the importance of sleeping in the dark and warm temperature room, and avoiding to consume caffeine.
