“…Prevalence figures were in line with other studies [16]–[18]. The fact that about one third of participants could not identify a reason for their insomnia does seem to be in accord with the proportion of insomnia categorised as ‘primary’ and may reflect similar classifications: both doctors and participants might share a failure to identify preceding states or events which resulted in insomnia.…”

Typologies of sleep problems have usually relied on identifying underlying causes or symptom clusters. In this study the value of using the patient's own reasons for sleep disturbance are explored. Using secondary data analysis of a nationally representative psychiatric survey the patterning of the various reasons respondents provided for self-reported sleep problems were examined. Over two thirds (69.3%) of respondents could identify a specific reason for their sleep problem with worry (37.9%) and illness (20.1%) representing the most commonly reported reasons. And while women reported more sleep problems for almost every reason compared with men, the patterning of reasons by age showed marked variability. Sleep problem symptoms such as difficulty getting to sleep or waking early also showed variability by different reasons as did the association with major correlates such as worry, depression, anxiety and poor health. While prevalence surveys of ‘insomnia’ or ‘poor sleep’ often assume the identification of an underlying homogeneous construct there may be grounds for recognising the existence of different sleep problem types particularly in the context of the patient's perceived reason for the problem.

“…Additionally, specific sleep characteristics, such as shorter sleep length and irregularity in waking and sleeping times, have been related to later developmental outcomes (Curcio et al, 2006). For example, sleep disturbances at 16 years of age predict sleep disturbances in adulthood (Dregan & Armstrong, 2010). However, although the relationship between sleep length and academic performance has been meta-analyzed (Dewald et al, 2010), some studies have not found associations between sleep quantity or quality and academic achievement (Eliasson et al, 2002).…”

Adolescents in high school suffer from circadian misalignment, undersleeping on weekdays and oversleeping on weekends. Since high schools usually impose early schedules, adolescents suffer from permanent social jetlag and thus are a suitable population to study the effects of social jetlag on both academic and cognitive performance. In this study, 796 adolescents aged 12 to 16 reported information about their sleep habits, morningness-eveningness, cognitive abilities and grade point average.Time in bed on both weekdays and weekends were not related to cognitive abilities, and only time in bed on weekdays was related to academic achievement. Social jetlag was negatively related to academic achievement, cognitive abilities (except for vocabulary and verbal fluency abilities) and general cognitive ability (g), whereas morningnesseveningness was slightly positively related to academic achievement and marginally negatively related to inductive reasoning. Results separated by sex/gender indicated that social jetlag may be more detrimental to girls' performance, as it was negatively related to a greater number of cognitive abilities and grade point average.

“…The results were largely similar and workplace bullying remained associated with sleep problems among women and men (data not shown). Data about childhood sleep problems were unavailable for the present study, which is a limitation as sleep problems may originate from childhood and persist over the lifetime (56).…”

Lallukka T, Rahkonen O, Lahelma E. Workplace bullying and subsequent sleep problems -the Helsinki Health Study. Scand J Work Environ Health. 2011;37(3):204-212. doi:10.5271/sjweh.3137 Objective The associations between workplace bullying and subsequent sleep problems are poorly understood.This study aims to address this evidence gap. MethodsWe used the Helsinki Health Study questionnaire survey data at baseline in 2000-2002 and follow-up in 2007 (N=7332). The 4-item Jenkins sleep questionnaire was used in both surveys. Two measures of workplace bullying asked whether the respondent had (i) reported being bullied and (ii) observed bullying. Logistic regression models were fitted, adjusting for age, childhood bullying, education, working conditions, obesity, common mental disorders, limiting long-standing illness, and baseline sleep problems.Results At baseline, 5% of women and men reported being currently bullied. Additionally, 9% of women and 7% of men had frequently observed bullying at their workplace. Adjusted for age, reporting bullying was associated with sleep problems at follow-up among women [odds ratio (OR) 1.69, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) 1.30-2.20] and men (OR 3.17, 95% CI 1.85-5.43). Also, reporting earlier bullying was associated with sleep problems among both women (OR 1.47, 95% CI 1.26-1.72) and men (OR 1.58, 95% CI 1.06-2.36). Separate adjustments for covariates had some effects on the associations. After full adjustment for childhood bullying and baseline sociodemographic factors, working conditions, health, and sleep problems, the associations reduced. Similarly, adjusted for age, observing bullying was associated with sleep problems among women (OR 2.00, 95% CI 1.61-2.48) and men (OR 2.04, 95% CI 1.23-3.39). ConclusionsWorkplace bullying is associated with sleep problems, but associations attenuate after factors related to the social environment, work, and health are simultaneously taken into account.
