“…Insomnia is one of the sleep disorders defined as unsatisfactory quality and quantity of sleep that is associated with difficulty in falling asleep, maintaining sleep and early waking . According to Nowicki et al , more than half of the Polish population declares subjective insomnia. In our own study, as many as 83% of respondents suffered from insomnia.…”

“…For example, the prevalence of sleep disturbances as measured by the presence (yes/no) of any sleep complaint (DIS, DMS, EMA or NRS) ranges between 1.6 and 76.3% in the general population (Kim et al ., ; Ohayon and Paiva, ; Ohayon and Sagales, ; Ohayon and Smirne, ; Ohayon et al ., ; Rocha et al ., ). In contrast, the prevalence of sleep disturbances as defined by dissatisfaction with sleep quality or quantity, or subjective poor sleep ranges between 7.0 and 50.5% (Nowicki et al ., ; Ohayon, ; Ohayon and Paiva, ; Ohayon and Partinen, ; Ohayon and Smirne, ; Ohayon et al ., ). Using screening instruments such as the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) or the Athens Insomnia Scale (AIS), the prevalence of sleep disturbances ranges between 25.3 and 38.2% (Madrid et al ., ; Paparrigopoulos et al ., ; Soldatos et al ., ).…”

This is a meta-analysis of the pooled prevalence of sleep disturbances and its associated factors in Chinese university students. English (PubMed, PsycINFO, Embase) and Chinese (SinoMed, Wan Fang Database and Chinese National Knowledge Infrastructure) databases were systematically and independently searched from inception until 16 August 2016. The prevalence of sleep disturbances was pooled using random-effects model. Altogether 76 studies involving 112 939 university students were included. The overall pooled prevalence of sleep disturbances was 25.7% (95% CI: 22.5-28.9%). When using the screening scales Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, Athens Insomnia Scale and Self-Rating Sleeping State Scale, and the diagnostic criteria of the Chinese Classification of Mental Disorders (Second Edition), the pooled prevalence of sleep disturbances was 24.1% (95% CI: 21.0-27.5%) and 18.1% (95% CI: 16.4-20.0%), respectively. The percentages of students dissatisfied with sleep quality and those suffering from insomnia symptoms were 20.3% (95% CI: 13.0-30.3%) and 23.6% (95% CI: 18.9-29.0%), respectively. Subgroup analyses revealed that medical students were more vulnerable to sleep disturbances than other student groups. There was no significant difference between males and females, and across geographic locations. Sleep disturbances are common in Chinese university students. Appropriate strategies for prevention and treatment of sleep disturbances in this population need greater attention.

No evidence exists in the literature concerning the prevalence of insomnia and its associated risk factors among prison inmates in Taiwan. The aim of the present study was to determine the prevalence and factors associated with insomnia among inmates in a large prison in Taiwan. A cross‐sectional anonymous questionnaire survey was conducted at a prison. The participants were 1490 male inmates. Participants completed the self‐reported Insomnia Severity Index–Chinese version questionnaire, and the sociodemographic and psychological distress questionnaires for the study. Multivariate logistic regression was used to analyze and compare the differences between inmates with and without insomnia. The prevalence of insomnia was 26.9%. The study determined that anxiety, self‐rated health status, and religious beliefs were independent predictors of insomnia in male inmates. Given the adverse effect of insomnia and its social consequences, it is crucial to develop prevention programs to mitigate insomnia in inmates.
