“…The results indicated that sleep quality and other variables, such as depression, anxiety, stress were related, i.e., the higher the level of depression, anxiety, stress, the lower the quality of sleep will be, and vice versa. The results of this section were consistent with previous research (Benca & Peterson, 2008;Briones et al, 1996;Staner, 2010;Vgontzas et al, 1998).…”

“…Multiple physical and emotional factors, including depression, anxiety and stress, can pose troubles to sleep cycles, leading to sleep disorders (Sahota, Jain, & Dhand, 2003) because the relationship between each of these variables and sleep quality has been confirmed in some studies (Benca & Peterson, 2008;Briones et al, 1996;Staner, 2010;Vgontzas et al, 1998). Similarly, the results of other studies have shown that mental health can predict sleep quality (Mohammadi-Farrokhran, Mokhayeri, Tavakkol, & Mansouri, 2012).…”

Objective: Given the significance of sleep quality among pregnant women and its effects on the health of the fetus and the lack of sufficient studies in this field as well, the present study aimed to both identify some of the psychological factors associated with sleep quality among pregnant women and investigate the relationship between sleep quality among pregnant women and other variables, including depression, anxiety, stress, resilience, perceived social support, and marital adjustment. Materials and methods: In this descriptive-correlational study, 425 pregnant women, visiting Islamabad and Ravansarbased prenatal care centers (randomly selected from the townships of Kermanshah Province (Iran)) in 2015, were selected. To collect the required data, the Locke-Wallace Marital Adjustment Test (LWSMAT), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RIS), Zimet's Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS), and depression, anxiety and stress scales were used. Results:The results of data analysis demonstrated that there was a significant relationship between the quality of sleep and variables like depression, anxiety, stress, perception, social support and marital adjustment. Further, the results showed that the hierarchical regression of all variables could predict 31% of the changes of sleep quality. Additionally, anxiety, depression and stress were ranked first, second and third in terms of the shares of variables in predicting the quality of sleep. Whereas, resilience, perceived social support and marital adjustment were unable to predict the quality of sleep. Conclusion: Given the results of the present study, it is suggested that the roles of the psychological factors be considered in improving the quality of sleep among pregnant women.

“…Poor sleep is associated with a number of health problems (see above, and also Briones et al 1996;Buysse et al 2010;Finn et al 1998;Gangswisch et al 2010), and so it is possible that differences in health are associated with differences in sleep between twins.…”

Nonshared Environmental Influences on Sleep Quality: A Study of Monozygotic Twin Differences

et al. 2011

Research has consistently demonstrated that environmental influences are important for explaining the variability in sleep quality observed in the general population. Although there is substantial evidence assessing associations between sleep quality and a host of environmental variables, it is possible that their effects are mediated by genetic influence. A monozygotic twin differences design was used to assess the specific contribution of nonshared environmental influences on sleep quality, whilst controlling for genetic and shared environmental effects in a sample of 380 monozygotic twins (mean age 19.8 years, SD=1.26, range=18-22 years). Participants completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and questionnaires assessing several candidate "environmental" measures. When controlling for genetic and shared environmental effects, within monozygotic twin-pair differences in sleep quality were associated with within monozygotic twin-pair differences in general health for males (β=1.56, p<.001) and relationship satisfaction for females (β=1.01, p<.05). For the remaining environmental measures the results suggest that these seemingly "environmental" influences are actually in part dependent on genetics and/or the shared environment. These findings give insight into how specific environments affect sleep and the possible mechanisms behind these associations.

Objective: To describe the prevalence and severity of periodic limb movements during sleep in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients and to explore this fact as a predictor of severity of the condition with respect to mortality. Methods: In this case-control study, questionnaire and polysomnographic data were analyzed from 35 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients. Controls were matched by age, genre, and body mass index. A Kaplan-Meier curve was used to compare the survival time of patients with periodic limb movements of sleep index below or above 5. Results: The number of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients with an index greater than five was higher than controls (19 (53%) versus 4 (11%); p<0.0001), and the mean index was higher (23.55±40.07 versus 3.28±8.96; p=0.0009). Earlier mortality was more common in patients with more than five periodic limb movements per hour of sleep than patients with less than five periodic limb movements per hour of sleep (7/19 (37%) versus 1/16 (6%); p=0.04) in this group of patients that had a mean survival of 33 months. Conclusions: There were more periodic limb movements of sleep in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients than in the control population. The higher number of these movements in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients correlates with disease severity and may suggest poor survival.Keywords: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/complications; Quality of life; Restless leg syndrome; Nocturnal myoclonus syndrome; Sleep disorders; Mortality RESUMO Objetivo: Descrever a prevalência e a severidade dos movimentos periódicos de membros durante o sono nos pacientes com esclerose lateral amiotrófica e explorar isso como um preditor de severidade da doença e mortalidade. Métodos: Estudo caso controle em que foram analisados 35 pacientes por questionários e polissonografia. Os controles foram pareados por idade, gênero, e índice de massa corporal. Uma curva de Kaplan-Meier foi usada para comparar o tempo de sobrevida em pacientes com índice de movimento periódico de membros durante o sono acima e abaixo de 5. Resultados: O número de pacientes com esclerose lateral amiotrófica com índice de movimentos periódicos de membros durante o sono acima de cinco foi maior do que os controles (19 (53%) versus 4 (11%); p<0,0001) e a média do índice de movimentos periódicos de membros durante o sono também foi maior no grupo dos pacientes (23,55±40,07 versus 3,28±8,96; p=0,0009). A mortalidade precoce foi mais comum em pacientes com mais que cinco movimentos durante o sono por hora do que pacientes com menos do que cinco movimentos durante o sono por hora (7/19 (37%) versus 1/16 (6%); p=0,04). Nesse grupo, os pacientes tiveram sobrevida média de 33 meses. Conclusão: Houve um maior número de movimentos periódicos de membros durante o sono em pacientes com esclerose lateral amiotrófica do que na população controle. O maior número de movimentos periódicos de membros durante o sono em pacientes com esclerose lateral amiotrófica foi correlacionado com severidade da doença e pode sugerir meno...
