“…A high prevalence of pilots perceive poor sleep quality 7,8 . In addition, other negative health consequences are associated with sleep-related problems, such as metabolic diseases, musculoskeletal and cardiovascular disorders, as well as impaired cognitive performance, reducing concentration and the ability to react to unexpected events 9 . In this context, the objective of the present study was to estimate the prevalence of and factors associated with poor sleep quality among airline pilots.…”

Objective To estimate the prevalence and association of work organization associated with poor sleep quality among airline pilots. Methods 1234 airline pilots filled out an online questionnaire. Independent variables included demographic data, work organization aspects, health, and sleep information. A question derived from the Karolinska Sleep Questionnaire was used to obtain subjective sleep quality. Poisson regression with robust variance was performed. Results The prevalence of poor sleep quality was 48.2%. Poor sleep quality was associated with high frequency of technical delays, ≥ 5 consecutive night shifts, moderate and great need for recovery after work, difficulty commuting to work, being insufficiently physically active and sleeping 6-8 hours and < 6 hours on days off. Conclusion Pilots' daily work schedules, consisting of frequent delays, long working hours and perceived high work demands preventing adequate recovery were associated with poor sleep quality.
