“…Another study found that irregular and unhygienic sleep practices result in sleep deficiency and daytime sleepiness [ 20 ]. It is worth mentioning that daytime sleepiness affects neuropsychiatric diseases, increases the risk of harm at work or home, contributes to car accidents, and reduces overall productivity [ 21 ]. A total of 963 college students showed a significantly increased risk of chronic mental disorders among subjects with excessive daytime sleepiness (odds ratio (OR) = 3.65; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 2.56-4.91) and poor sleep quality (OR = 4.76; 95% CI = 3.11-7.29) [ 22 ].…”

BackgroundPoor or imperfect sleep hygiene practices include all factors that promote arousal or disrupt the normal balance of the sleep-wake cycle. It is necessary to clarify the relationship between sleep hygiene behaviors and a person's mental health. This may allow a better understanding of this problem and might help design effective awareness programs about good sleep hygiene practices for reducing the serious outcomes of this problem. Therefore, the current study was conducted to evaluate sleep hygiene practices and assess the impact of sleep hygiene on sleep quality and the mental health of the adult population of Tabuk city, Saudi Arabia. MethodologyThis cross-sectional, survey-based study was conducted in Tabuk city, Saudi Arabia in 2022. All adult residents of Tabuk city, Saudi Arabia were invited to participate. Participants with incomplete data were excluded from the study. A self-administered questionnaire was developed by the researchers to assess sleep hygiene practices and their impact on the sleep quality and mental health of the study participants. ResultsThe study included 384 adults. There was a significant association between the frequency of sleep problems and poor sleep hygiene practices (p < 0.001). The percentage of subjects who had problems sleeping during the past three months was significantly higher among those having poor sleep hygiene practices (76.5%) than their counterparts (56.1%). The rates of excessive or severe daytime sleepiness were significantly higher among individuals with poor hygiene practices (22.5% versus 11.7% and 5.2% versus 1.2%, p = 0.001). Participants with depression were found to be significantly higher among the poor hygiene group (75.8%) in comparison to those having good hygiene practices (59.6%) (p = 0.001). ConclusionsThe findings of the present study indicate significant associations between poor sleep hygiene practices and sleep problems, daytime sleepiness, and depression among adult residents of Tabuk city,
