Self-Reported Diurnal Preference and Sleep Disturbance in Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract

Background. Previous sleep studies suggest that type 2 diabetes mellitus is associated with poor quality of sleep and sleep disorders.Aim. To evaluate sleep parameters and diurnal preference in type 2 diabetic patients, using a questionnaire.

A variable-number tandem repeat polymorphism in PER3 is not associated with chronotype in a population with self-reported sleep problems

“…Other possible explanations are small sample size or ethnic differences in study populations, as well as different instruments used for assessing the diurnal preference: both Goel 6 and ourselves used the CSM and smaller samples. There is also the possibility that sleep problems mask effects of genotype on chronotype, although previous findings in Romanian populations do not report significant associations between measures of sleep quality or disturbance and CSM scores, 13 nor are there effects of genotype on CSM score when sleep disturbance is controlled for in the present study. We have also controlled for the potential attenuating effects of age on PER3 genotype effects on diurnal preference, 14 and do not find significant differences.…”

Sleep disturbance in people with diabetes: A concept analysis

“…In Vionescu et al. 's study (Voinescu, Vesa, & Coogan, ), sleep disturbance consisted of both insomnia that met the diagnostic criteria by the International Classification of Sleep Disorders (ICSD) and insomnia symptoms.…”

“…Although the frequency and number of awakenings during night varied across studies, they are the hallmark of impaired sleep quality. Several studies used the generic term overall poor sleep quality as a characteristic of sleep disturbance (Bener & Al‐Hamaq, ; Cho, Lee, Ryu, Choi, & Kim, ; Chontong, Saetung, & Reutrakul, ; van Dijk et al., ; Fritschi & Redeker, ; Reutrakul, Hood et al., ; Reutrakul, Zaidi et al., ; Voinescu et al., ; Wrobel et al., ).…”

“…Sleep disturbance can also be labelled as abnormal sleep duration , which includes both insufficient and long sleep duration. Insufficient sleep, sleep loss or sleep deprivation (whether voluntary or forced) was frequently referred to as a major characteristic of sleep disturbance (Bener & Al‐Hamaq, ; Cho et al., ; Chontong et al., ; van Dijk et al., ; Fritschi & Redeker, ; Hazen et al., ; Knutson et al., ; Martins, Andersen, & Tufik, ; Reutrakul & Van Cauter, ; Reutrakul, Hood et al., ; Voinescu et al., ). Traditionally, insufficient sleep was considered a sleep disturbance.…”

“…Several surrogate terms have been used interchangeably with sleep disturbance . Although sleep disorder is a distinctly different term from sleep disturbance, it has been used to mean sleep disturbance in several studies (Bener & Al‐Hamaq, ; van Dijk et al., ; Keskin et al., ; Martins et al., ; Sridhar & Madhu, ; Voinescu et al., ). Other interchangeably used terms are sleep problem (Caruso et al., ; Cho et al., ; Olsson et al., ), sleep disruption (Barnard et al., ; Eshkoor, Hamid, Nudin, & Mun, ; Voinescu et al., ), disrupted sleep (Olsson et al., ; Sridhar & Putcha, ), abnormal sleep (Sridhar & Putcha, ), sleep complaint (Cho et al., ), sleep impairment (Martins et al., ) and impaired sleep (Chasens et al., ).…”
