“…Insufficient sleep remained a significant predictor of subjective age (b = 0. for subjective age increases with older age, that the relationships are true for both prolonged periods of insufficient sleep and for as little as two nights of insufficient sleep, that sleepiness is a likely mediator for feeling older, and that the relationship between insufficient sleep and feeling older is causal, driven by sleepiness. While the previous literature has shown that feeling older is associated with worse sleep quality [6,8], our data indicate that sleep may be more important for subjective age than the other way around. These findings support that sleep, a vital biological phenomenon, might hold the key to feeling young.…”

“…While this phenomenon is less prevalent among younger individuals, as we reach our thirties and beyond, the discrepancy between how old we are and how old we feel becomes more pronounced [ 7 ]. Emerging research suggests that our sleep habits may play a role in shaping how old we feel [ 6 , 8 ]. Sleep is not only crucial for physical well-being but also for mental health.…”

“…Although it is undisputed that sleep is central for health, its relevance for how young someone feels has received limited attention. There is some support for people that feel subjectively older to have worse sleep quality or sleep difficulties, both cross-sectionally [ 8 ] and longitudinally [ 6 ], although this may be largely limited to elderly women [ 8 ]. Sleep is a highly dynamic process, with gradual alterations across the lifespan, but it also varies on a day-to-day basis.…”

The current studies examined the impact of insufficient sleep and sleepiness on the subjective experience of age. Study 1, a cross-sectional study of 429 participants (282 females (66%), 144 males, 3 other gender; age range 18–70), showed that for each additional day of insufficient sleep in the last 30 days, subjective age increased by 0.23 years. Study 2, an experimental crossover sleep restriction study ( n = 186; 102 females (55%), 84 males; age range 18–46), showed that two nights of sleep restriction (4 h in bed per night) made people feel 4.44 years older compared to sleep saturation (9 h in bed per night). Additionally, moving from feeling extremely alert (Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS) score of 1) to feeling extremely sleepy (KSS score of 9) was associated with feeling 10 years older in both studies. These findings provide compelling support for insufficient sleep and sleepiness to exert a substantial influence on how old we feel, and that safeguarding sleep is probably a key factor in feeling young.

“…Our research shows that as age increases, the risk of sleep disorders increases, consistent with previous studies. 43 The secretion of melatonin gradually decreases with age, leading to a decrease in sleep quality and an increasing probability of developing sleep disorders. 44 Similarly, the decline in emotional and cognitive functions in the elderly population also leads to sleep disorders.…”

Background: Gynecological cancer generally refers to malignant tumors in gynecology, commonly including cervical cancer, endometrial cancer, and ovarian cancer. Patients with gynecological cancer often suffer from sleep disorders after clinical treatment. Except for serious sleep disorders, female characteristics, family roles, and feudal beliefs make their self-stigma at a medium to high level, leading to huge pressure. This study aims to identify potential categories of sleep disorders, and analyze the relationship between self-stigma, perceived stress, and sleep disorders. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 2021-2022. Two hundred and two patients' data were collected from ShengJing Hospital Affiliated to China Medical University in Liaoning, Shenyang by using paper questionnaires for face-to-face surveys. The survey tools included the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and the Social Impact Scale (SIS). Potential profile analysis (LPA), multiple logistic regression analysis, and structural equation modeling (SEM) were performed by Mplus 8.3, SPSS 26.0, and Amos 24.0 statistical tools, respectively. Results: Three latent patterns of sleep disorders were found: "Good Sleep group (42.5%)", "Sleep Deficiency group (32.4%)", and "Sleep Disturbance group (25.1%)". Patients with high perceived stress were more likely to report a moderate (OR=1.142, 95% CI: 1.061-1.230) or high (OR=1.455, 95% CI: 1.291-1.640) level of sleep disorders. Self-stigma did not have a direct effect on sleep disorders (0.055, P>0.05), but it could have indirect effect on sleep disorders through perceived stress (0.172, P<0.01). Conclusion:The perceptions of sleep disorders among gynecological cancer patients varies and exhibits individual differences. Gynecological cancer patients who feels alienated or discriminated may cause high pressure. This internal pressure can exacerbate sleep disorders.

Could Sleep Hygiene Play a Role in Fostering Healthy Aging by Promoting Sleep Quality?: A Hypothesis

Sleep disturbances or alterations in sleep patterns are commonly observed in older individuals as they age. Moreover, sleep problems may potentially contribute to the impairment of the healthy aging process, thereby leading to frailty in the geriatric population. The vicious cycle between sleep problems and aging can be broken by implementing sleep hygiene strategies that lead to improved sleep quality. The present hypothesis emphasizes that ensuring proper sleep hygiene can contribute to promoting healthy aging among older individuals.
