“…One Nigerian study conducted on school-going adolescents in Kano state reported that both the quality and quantity of sleep were suboptimal, and recommended more research attention on the topic ( Peter et al, 2017 ). Similar findings was reported among on school-going adolescents in Ibadan ( Balogun, Alohan & Orimadegun, 2017 ). Another study on university students found that mean duration of night sleep was 6.2 h ( Oluwole, 2010 ).…”

Heavy consumption of alcohol has shown to be associated with sleep disturbances among adult and elderly people in high income settings. So far, the relationship between alcohol drinking and sleeping pattern has not been studied in an African setting. Therefore, in this study we investigated whether alcohol consumption has any influence on sleeping hours among adult men and women in Ghana.MethodsData for this survey were extracted from Ghana Demographic and Health Survey (GDHS 2008). GDHS is the only cross-sectional survey conducted on men and women aged above 15 years that collected information on variables such as sleeping hours and alcohol consumption. The analysis was controlled for various demographic, socioeconomic, household level factors, and smoking.ResultsPrevalence of sleeping 1–3 h, 4–6 h, and >7 h was respectively 1.5% (1.2–2.0), 14.1% (12–16.5), and 84.4% (82.1–86.4), and that of alcohol use was 26.9% (23.4–30.6). In the multivariable regression analysis, compared with non-drinkers, those reported drinking had significantly lower odds of sleeping for at least 7 h. In the adjusted model, drinkers had 0.8 times (adjusted OR = 0.803, (95% CI [0.690–0.935])) lower odds of sleeping for at least 7 h. The odds for sleeping 4–6 h were not statistically significant. In the stratified analysis, the odds of sleeping for at least seven were comparatively lower among women (adjusted OR = 0.657, (95% CI [0.509–0.849]) then among men (adjusted OR = 0.867, (95% CI [0.740–0.965]).ConclusionMen and women who reported consuming alcohol had significantly lower odds of getting adequate sleep (>7 h). The sleep-disrupting effect of alcohol appeared to be more prominent among women than among men. Currently there is not sufficient evidence on alcohol consumption and sleep disorder among Ghanaian population or any other country in the region. Further studies are required to understand sleeping patterns and the burden of alcohol drinking in this population to design intervention programs.

“…For this study, it was not possible to include variables from all these domains, as subjective well-being was not the main focus of the survey. Based on the availability of the variables on the dataset, the following were included in the analysis: Age (15)(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24); sex (Male/Female); marital status (Currently Married/Formerly Married/Never Married); region (Northern/Central/Southern); satisfaction with living condition (Not satisfied/Satisfied); religion (Islam and other/Christian); wealth quintile ((Poorest or Q1)/Second or Q2/Middle or Q3/Fourth or Q4/Richest or Q5)); ethnicity (Chewa/Tumbuka/Lomwe/Yao/Ngoni/Other); education (None/Primary/Secondary); has children (Yes/No); ever smoke (Yes/No); ever drink (Yes/No); media use (Yes/No) (Ngamaba and Soni 2018;Bishwajit et al 2017;DeSalvo et al 2006;Balogun et al 2017;Chin 2010;Cheung and Lucas 2014;He et al 2018;Son et al 2016;Ghose 2017).…”

“…Apart from that, SRH is also strongly associated with quality of life (QoL), which is a measure of general well-being that reflects an individual's satisfaction with health, education, employment, living and social environment, relationships, and safety (Zarini et al 2014;Idler and Kasl 1995;Idler and Benyamini 1997;DeSalvo et al 2006;Hays et al 2015;Balogun et al 2017). Over the course of the last few decades, both SRH and QoL have been growing in popularity, especially among public health researchers in high-income countries.…”

Subjective Happiness, Health and Quality of Life and Their Sociocultural Correlates among Younger Population in Malawi

Public health research and policy in sub-Saharan Africa are generally disease-oriented, with the focus being largely confined within the biological determinants of health. So far, little attention has been given to developing a more health-oriented approach by emphasising the psychosocial dimensions of health, especially among the younger population. To this regard, we conducted the present study to assess the prevalence and sociocultural correlates of perceived happiness, health, and life satisfaction among the adolescent and young (15–24 years) population in Malawi. We analysed cross-sectional data on 12,610 men and women based on a Malawi multiple indicator cluster survey conducted in 2013–2014. Data were analysed using descriptive and multivariable regression methods. According to the findings, more than 80% of the men and women reported being satisfied about happiness, health, and life. Multivariate analysis showed an inverse relationship between being currently or formerly married and perceived happiness. Ethnic disparities in perceived health and happiness were more pronounced in men, whereas that of life satisfaction was more pronounced in women. Living in households of the highest wealth quintile was positively associated with health and life satisfaction, but not with happiness. These findings highlight the need for prioritising the psychosocial needs of the adolescent and youth populations in designing health and social policy in Malawi. The findings need to be interpreted in light of the factors specific to the sociocultural environment in Malawi.

“…In the study, 54.3% of adolescents stated that their sleep quality as "good" and 31.8% of them stated as "very good". Factors such as fall asleep duration, sleep duration, having frequent insomnia and feeling tired during a day affected adolescents' sleep quality (18). Adolescents' sleep quality was not considered as bad due to the evaluations that they fell asleep within 5-10 min (36.4%) and 15-20 min (34.8%) and they slept more than 9 hours during weekdays and weekends.…”

“…Therefore, internet usage increases the intellectual, emotional and physiological triggers and affects negatively their sleep quality due to the factors such as more exposure to bright light (17). Adolescents' internet usage and sleep problems have increased the necessity of elucidating the effects of internet use habits on sleep patterns and in order to take under control of these problems (14,18,19). Most previous studies on adolescents' internet use and sleep patterns are outside the discipline of nursing.…”

Adolesan dönemde yaşanan fiziksel ve psikolojik değişiklikler uyku düzenini değiştirebilir. Bununla birlikte adolesanların bilinçsiz internet kullanımı da uyku alışkanlıklarında bazı sorunlara yol açabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı adolesanların uyku alışkanlıkları ve internet kullanımları arasındaki ilişkiyi ve değişen uyku-uyanma düzenini incelemektir. Materyal-Metot: Çalışma kesitsel tipte planlanmıştır. Çalışmaya 10-14 yaşlarında 1498 ortaokul öğrencisi katılmıştır. Öğrencilerin uyku alışkanlıkları, internet kullanımları ve değişen uyku-uyanıklık düzeni araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan bir anket ile değerlendirilmiştir. Bulgular: Öğrencilerin %48,5'inin uyku problemi vardır ve en yaygın görülen uyku problemi uykuya dalmada zorluktur (%43,5). Adolesanların %94,9'u internet kullanmaktadır ve çoğunlukla 1,5-2 saatlerini internette geçirmektedirler. İnternet kullanan adolesanların %23,6'sı internet kullanımları sebebiyle uykularını geciktirmektedir ve internet kullanan adolesanların ailelerinin çoğu internetin uyku üzerine olumsuz etki ettiğinden şikayet etmektedir. Adolesanların uyku problemleri internet kullanımından kaynaklanan uyku saatinin geciktirilmesi ile ilişkilidir (p<0,05). Ayrıca, adolesanların internet kullanımları uykuya dalma süreleri ile de ilişkilidir (p<0,05). Sonuç: Aile kontrolü olmadan ve uzun süre internet kullanımı adolesanların uykuya dalma süreleri ve toplam uyku saatleri üzerinde çeşitli sorunlara yol açmaktadır.
