“…A substantial proportion of university students are affected by poor sleep quality (Kloss et al, ; Lemma et al, ). The results were consistent with previous studies on adolescents that reported a positive association between insomnia and depression, insomnia and generalized anxiety disorder (de Araújo et al, ; Gregory & O'Connor, ; Saxvig et al, ). The relationships observed between insomnia, generalized anxiety disorder, and depression may be at least partially explained by abnormalities in neurotransmitters and brain structures such as dopamine, hypocretin‐1, serotonin, the brainstem, and thalamus, which are associated with the sleep‐wake cycle, anxiety, and depression (Casey, Jones, & Hare, ; Gregory & O'Connor, ; Holmes, Murphy, & Crawley, ; Nestler & Carlezon, ; Tseng & O'Donnell, ).…”

“…Rhie, Gwak, Park, Lee, and Lee () stated that they found average sleep latency to be 20.9 ± 24.3 in those who smoke and 14.1 ± 17.6 in those who do not smoke in their study conducted on the students in 2014, and there was a statistically significant difference between the smokers and non‐smokers in terms of sleep latency. It was also determined in other studies conducted with students that smoking was an important factor affecting insomnia and daytime sleepiness (Angelone et al, ; de Araújo et al, ; Hershner & Chervin, ; Karatay et al, ; Kloss et al, ; Saygılı et al, ; Şenol et al, ). It has been known that smoking is a stimulating factor triggering insomnia (Suen et al, ).…”

“…O ato de dormir é um comportamento universal no qual se atribuiu durante anos o simples caráter passivo de restaurador das funções orgânicas, contudo hoje já se sabe que a saúde e o sono humano estão interligados e ambos se afetam positiva ou negativamente conforme quadro apresentado 1,2 . Os distúrbios de sono são comuns na população geral, acometendo aproximadamente um terço dos adultos e as queixas mais prevalentes são insônia e sonolência diurna excessiva 3,4 .…”

“…Por este motivo, y con el fin de medir la higiene del sueño y verificar su influencia en la SDE, se ha utilizado un cuestionario o escala de higiene del sueño (EHS), de elaboración propia, formado por 17 ítems valorados de 1 a 5: 1=nunca, 2=casi nunca; 3=algunas veces, 4=casi siempre y 5=siempre; la puntuación total puede oscilar entre 17 y 85 puntos, y cuantos más puntos obtenga el sujeto peor higiene del sueño tendrá. Para la elaboración de esta escala, tras una reunión previa con un equipo de expertos, se realizó una amplia revisión de la literatura científica [8][9][10][11][12][13]16,17 , eligiéndose los ítems que la conformaron. Como en otras investigaciones 18 se optó por el percentil 75 como punto de corte para diferenciar a los trabajadores con buena y mala higiene del sueño: los sujetos con una puntuación igual o superior al percentil 75 en la EHS se incluyeron en el grupo de mala higiene del sueño.…”

“…En los últimos años han aumentado las investigaciones sobre el impacto de ciertas conductas sobre la calidad y duración del sueño. Conductas tales como el tabaquismo 9 , consumo de sustancias estimulantes y alcohol 10 , y factores ambientales, como el ruido, la temperatura y la luz 11 , influyen directamente sobre el sueño y la aparición de somnolencia diurna. En esta línea, se debe considerar la higiene del sueño como un factor básico a tener en cuenta, fundamentalmente porque se trata de un conjunto de hábitos y conductas que facilitan el sueño y controlan los factores externos que puedan interferir negativamente en este 12 .…”
