Aim. To study the prevalence, structure, causes of sleep disorders of nurses, working in shifts. Materials and methods. Analytical; questioning survey; statistical with processing results using Microsoft Excel. Results. Studies have shown that 85% of nurses working in shifts have a decrease in the quality of sleep, 60% of those surveyed associate sleep problems with their occupation. Daily work significantly increases the time to fall asleep, worsens the quality and duration of sleep, leads to frequent awakenings, and also negatively affects daytime performance. The development of sleep disorders depends on the length of service. The existing health problems of half of the respondents do not motivate nurses to switch to non-shift work. Thus, the shift work is not a factor that significantly reduces the quality of life. Conclusions. Recommendations of the program for the prevention and rehabilitation of insomnia, it is necessary to develop in three directions: for chief nurses, for senior nurses and directly for nurses with a shift work schedule.

Objective: Children with ADHD display higher rates of sleep problems, and both sleep disorders and ADHD have been shown to affect functioning in childhood. The current study examines the frequency and relationship between sleep problems and ADHD, and their impact on quality of life (QoL) and functional impairment. Method: Parents of 192 children with ADHD ( M = 10.23 years) completed measures regarding their child’s ADHD symptoms (Swanson, Nolan and Pelham [SNAP]), sleep disorders (Pediatric Sleep Questionnaire [PSQ]), QoL (Child Health Illness Profile [CHIP-PE]), and functioning (Weiss Functional Impairment Rating Scale–Parent Report [WFIRS-P]). Results: Common sleep complaints in participants were insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS), and variability in sleep schedule. Regression analysis indicated that sleep problems and ADHD symptoms independently predicted lower levels of QoL (Δ R2 = .12, p < .001) and social functioning (Δ R2 = .12, p < .001). Conclusion: The results suggest that ADHD may coexist with somnolence and that both conditions have a significant impact on a child’s functioning and QoL.

Background and Objective: Chronotypes vary in different people, and the daily function outside of the framework of this rhythm can affect the quality of work. This study aimed to investigate the association between sleep disorders and chronotypes among the shift and day work nurses. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed among nurses in two teaching hospitals in Mash-had, Iran, during 2016-2017. A total of 180 randomly-selected nurses were divided into shift work and day work groups. Participants completed demographic information form, Circadian Type Inventory (CTI), Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). Results: A total of 180 female nurses (90 participants in each group) with a mean age of 35.62 ± 4.07 years were stud-ied. The prevalence of rigid circadian rhythm in the day work group (93.3%) was significantly (P = 0.004) higher than shift work group (78.9%). However, the groups did not show any significant difference regarding the languid/vigorous (LV) index of the CTI (P = 0.080). There was a significant difference in the mean score of CTI between individuals with rigid and flexible circadian rhythms in the shift work group (P = 0.021). Conclusion: In the present study, although there was no association between circadian type and sleep problems includ-ing insomnia and daytime sleepiness in shift work nurses, we observed the capability of coping with working in the rotating shifts in nurses with flexible circadian rhythms.

Sleep disorders often co-occur with autism spectrum disorder. They further exacerbate autism spectrum disorder symptoms and interfere with children’s and parental quality of life. This study examines whether gastrointestinal dysfunctions increase the odds of having sleep disorders in 610 children with idiopathic autism spectrum disorder, aged 2–18 years, from the Autism Genetic Resource Exchange research program. The adjusted odds ratio for sleep disorder among those with gastrointestinal dysfunctions compared to those without was 1.74 (95% confidence interval: 1.22–2.48). In addition, the odds of having multiple sleep disorder symptoms among children with gastrointestinal dysfunctions, adjusted for age, gender, behavioral problems, bed wetting, current and past supplements, and current and past medications for autism spectrum disorder symptoms were 1.75 (95% confidence interval: 1.10–2.79) compared to children without gastrointestinal dysfunctions. Early detection and treatment of gastrointestinal dysfunctions in autism spectrum disorder may be means to reduce prevalence and severity of sleep problems and improve quality of life and developmental outcomes in this population.

Chemotherapy has an effect on the occurrence of sleep disorders in children who suffer from acute lymphoblastic leukemia. Sleep disorders experienced by children have an impact on optimizing the long-term quality of life of children. This study aims to describe sleep problems that occur in children suffering from acute lymphoblastic leukemia who undergo induction phase chemotherapy. The design of this study was descriptive analytic with repeated measurements of sleep disorders in children aged 7-18 years (n = 62). Data collection was carried out for 7 days, that is, one day before, five days during, and one day after chemotherapy. The results of data analysis found that children have > 15 minutes to fall asleep, children have less than normal amounts of sleep (the number of hours of sleep is normal, school age: 9-11 hours / day, adolescence: 8-10 hours / day) and there was a decrease in the quality of sleep scores. In conclusion, there are sleep disorders that occur in children, namely children have less time to sleep, children need a long time to be able to fall asleep, and children experience a decrease in the quality of sleep. The need for exploration of interventions to facilitate efficient sleep according to the stages of child development.

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.

Idiopathic Hypersomnia

Until 2010, modafinil, which is a wakefulness promoting agent, was approved in Europe for a wider spectrum of indications, such as narcolepsy, idiopathic hypersomnia, obstructive sleep apnoea and shift work sleep disorder. Currently, it is registered by the European Medicines Agency only for the treatment of narcolepsy, and is used as an off-label therapy in other sleep disorders. This paper presents the efficacy of modafinil in selected sleep disorders. Modafinil remains first-choice treatment for narcolepsy. It reduces the frequency of bouts of inadvertent sleep and nap episodes, the duration and intensity of daytime hypersomnolence, and also significantly improves the quality of life of patients. However, it is associated with only a slight improvement in cataplexy and other symptoms. In idiopathic hypersomnia, modafinil reduces the frequency of naps and unintentional sleep episodes, as well as subjective sleepiness measured with the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. Furthermore, the drug is used to treat hypersomnia from obstructive sleep apnoea in the case of lack of improvement despite optimal positive airway pressure therapy. Modafinil is also approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of shift work sleep disorder. The drug has been shown to reduce the level of somnolence, but it has not been found to reduce unintentional sleep episodes, reported mistakes or accidents at work. Given the strong negative impact of hypersomnolence on performance at work and school, the risk of accidents and the quality of life, the risk-benefit assessment of modafinil often justifies its use in the treatment of hypersomnolence also outside the approved indications.

Suitable duration and appropriate quality of sleep are essential for mental and cognitive wellbeing. Sleep disorders, whether mild or severe, have proven to have adverse effects on general wellbeing. One's quality of life could be disturbed as a consequence of various mental conditions, sleep disorders being one of them. Researchers have started paying attention to designing, implementing and evaluating eHealth interventions to address sleep disorders. In this chapter, we highlight findings from a field study that was conducted to evaluate effect of software features on a Web-based intervention for sleep disorders. Tyyne is a Web-based eHealth intervention that will be repeatedly mentioned as Behavior Change Support Systsm (BCSS). Tynne offered weekly modules that were drawn from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). From an Information system's perspective, the modules were identified and applied as a persuasive software feature that is promoted by the Persuasive Systems Design Model (PSD Model). The duration of the Web-based intervention was 6 weeks. Upon completion of the intervention, about one third (37.2%) of the participants reported that they could better manage their sleep problems. We argue that a relatively low percentage is still highly encouraging, as treatment of sleep-related disorders is a complicated and understudied area. Manifestly, longitudinal studies would help determine the effect of ACT-incorporated Web-based interventions. However, the chapter underscores the effect of persuasive software features incorporated with ACT-based components as a step towards managing sleep disorders.

Disturbances in nocturnal sleep and their consequences during waking in Parkinson disease (PD) were recognized in 1817 by James Parkinson, who described sleep problems in his case series as follows: “His attendants observed, that of late the trembling would sometimes begin in his sleep, and increase until it awakened him: when he always was in a state of agitation and alarm.” Sleep disturbance in PD is complex, with a prevalence of up to 98%, and has been shown to be a key determinant of quality of life. Sleep disturbances in PD are heterogeneous, ranging from insomnia to drug-induced sleep disorders, and now can be assessed by simple validated bedside tools such as the Parkinson’s Disease Sleep Scale (PDSS). Also, sleep, contrary to previous perceptions, can be disordered not just in advanced PD, but also in the pre-motor as well as the untreated states.
