“…The sample size estimated using two sample proportions was 234. The prevalence value for the calculation was adopted from that proposed by Araújo et al (9) and the associating factor used was gender. The population was selected using stratified sampling method, which was divided into two strata namely UPM and UM.…”

Introduction:Poor sleep quality among university students has become an important issue to be concerned as it can hugely influence the students especially on their academic performance. However, there are inadequate studies published on the sleep quality of medical students in Malaysia. Objective: This study aimed at determining the sleep quality of pre-clinical medical students in Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM) and Universiti Malaya (UM). Methods: This is a cross-sectional study that used self-administered questionnaire to collect data from the pre-clinical medical students of UPM and UM. Sleep quality of the students was measured using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire. All data were analysed by SPSS version 21. Results: Findings revealed that 63.9% respondents with poor sleep quality (PSQI score: more than 5). The prevalence of poor sleepers in UM (67%) was slightly higher compared to UPM (60.9%). However, the comparison of PSQI score showed no significant difference between UPM and UM respondents (p = 0.082). Meanwhile, the average sleep duration per night among respondents was 5 hours 39 minutes (± 1.21 hrs), whereas only 6.1% students practiced recommended sleep value per night (> 7 hrs). Significant association was found between caffeine intake and sleep quality. Besides, this present study showed no association between sleep quality with gender and year of study. Conclusion: Majority of the pre-clinical students in UPM and UM had poor sleep quality and short sleep duration. Only a small number of students practiced recommended sleep value per night.

“…Sleep quality in students may be influenced by several factors such as gender, year of study (9)(10)(11), caffeine intake, smoking and alcohol consumption, which have been proven to be the factors of poor sleep quality (12)(13). Those with poor sleep quality have been reported to experience more academic stress.…”

“…Sleep quality is influenced by an array of factors ranging from demographic characteristics, to personal life style choices to type of work and condition of work environment [8]. Advanced age, unmarried status, smoking habit and alcohol consumption have been reported to compromise quality of sleep [8][9][10][11]. Among the workforce, work-related physical fatigue and rotating shift work and personal coping capacity have been reported to influence the quality of sleep [9,[11][12][13].…”

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the prevalence and determinants of poor sleep quality among industrial workers in Thailand. Additionally, the authors assess the risk of work-related injuries associated with poor sleep quality. Design/methodology/approach A descriptive correlational research was implemented. A total of 472 workers from the northern region of Thailand contributed to this study. Sleep quality was assessed by the Thai version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (Thai-PSQI). The score of more than five indicated poor sleep quality. Participants completed self-administered demographic, work characteristics and work-related injury questionnaires. Data were analyzed by applying descriptive and logistic regression statistical techniques. Findings More than one-third of the workers had reported poor sleep quality. Results from multivariable logistic regression analysis yielded male gender (OR = 2.74, 95% CI 1.46–5.17), alcohol drinking (OR=2.1, 95% CI 1.24–3.35), pain (OR=2.05, 95% CI 1.32–3.17) and rotating shift work (OR=1.94, 95% CI 1.23–3.05) increased the risk of poor sleep quality. Furthermore, poor sleep quality was statistically significantly associated with the risk of work-related injuries (OR = 3.98, 95% CI = 2.39–6.66). Originality/value Findings of this study indicate that the prevalence of poor sleep quality is high among industrial workers. Work characteristics and health behaviors were associated with poor sleep quality which increases the risk of work-related injuries. Modification of work environment and personal life style choices can improve quality of sleep among workers and consequently lower incidence of work-related injuries.

“…As diferenças entre TC devem ser entendidas a partir de uma ampla perspectiva, levando-nos a acreditar que estão associados a diferentes estilos de vida (Adan et al, 2012). Pesquisas com universitários têm sido conduzidas com o propósito de mostrar a associação da TC com os seus hábitos diários, incluindo a qualidade de sono, as horas de ir dormir e de se levantar da cama, bem como seus níveis de sonolência diurno (Araujo, Lima, Araújo, Veras, Zanetti, & Damasceno, 2014;Mirghani, 2017;Obrecht, Collaço, Valderramas, Miranda, Vargas, & Szkudlarek, 2015;Rique, Fernandes-Filho, Ferreira, & Sousa-Muñoz, 2014).…”

A tipologia circadiana é uma dimensão comportamental associada a preferências de hábitos diários. Contudo, este estudo objetivou avaliar a qualidade de sono e a sonolência excessiva de acadêmicos de Psicologia. Participaram deste estudo quase-experimental 56 estudantes com idade entre 17 e 34 anos. Utilizaram-se como instrumentos o Índice de Qualidade de Sono de Pittsburgh (PSQI), o Questionário de Matutinidade e Vespertinidade, a Escala de Sonolência de Karolinska e a Escala de Ritmo Social Breve. Após avaliar o PSQI, todos os participantes responderam os instrumentos por um período de 14 dias consecutivos. A MANOVA mostrou diferença significativa para sonolência diária durante os dias úteis [λ=0.81; F(4;47)=451,53; p<0,05], especificamente para o horário das 21h [F(2;5)=3,03; p<0,05]. Conclui-se que os estudantes possuem qualidade de sono ruim e, geralmente, tentam compensar as faltas de noites de sono durante a semana nos finais de semana.
