“…In the Roberts's study, it was found that 0.06% of adolescents had a sleep disorder that was lower than that of the present study [32]. In the study by Kaneita et al, 11.3% of adolescents had sleep disorders, 5.5% had impaired sleep [11], and 24.7% had a sleep deprivation feeling during the day. The origin of the disorder at the onset and continuation of sleep and daytime sleepiness in adolescents can be in the psychological and family conditions of the adolescent or early wake-up in the morning to go to school or watching television a lot.…”

Sleep has a key role in the development of adolescents. Sleep is effective not only in physical growth, but also in behavior, emotion, cognition, attention, and school performance of adolescents. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the quality of sleep and the prevalence of sleep disorders in adolescents of Gonabad city. The statistical sample consisted of 1153 adolescents studying in the secondary high schools of Gonabad city. A demographic questionnaire, the pittsburgh sleep quality scale, and global sleep assessment questionnaire were used to collect data. 75.3% of the adolescents had low and inappropriate sleep quality. In addition, disturbances in beginning of sleep (16.7%), Disturbances in maintaining sleep (11.5%), daytime fatigue (31.6%), daytime sleepiness (24.7%), sleep disorder due to daily intense activity (27.8%), Breathing pause (10.2%), snoring (9.4%), restless leg syndrome (16.9%), periodic movements limb (11.7%), sleepwalking disorder (11%), having nightmare (8.5%), secondary insomnia (18.2%), feelings of anxiety and worry (26.4%), and Disturbances in daily work (26%) were the other obtained results. According to the poor quality of sleep and prevalence of sleep disorders in them, it is essential to respect the causes of the issue to reduce the negative consequences.

“…Adolescent's sleep has a great role in the healthy brain development. Adolescents need more sleep compared to pre-puberty time, but there is much turmoil in their sleep and waking cycles [11]. The reason for sleep disorders in adolescents is not clear.…”

“…Worldwide, sleep deprivation is a growing public health concern among the scientific community owing to the long-terms consequences on health and quality of life at individual level, and economic costs in terms of productivity loss at national level. Although most of the findings originate from researches in high-income settings, the epidemic is not unique to the wealthy countries as poverty of sleep is being recognised to be a widespread issue in LMICs as well ( Shah, Bang & Bhagat, 2010 ; Kang et al, 2012 ; Stranges et al, 2012 ). In Africa, on the other hand, the issue has remained underemphasised to date and is potentially contributing to the worsening health outcomes and unmet health need of the population.…”

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.

“…As mentioned previously, short sleep duration on workdays and extended sleep duration on non-workdays have been observed in many nations over the past decade. 17 – 20 Mounting evidence demonstrates that the societal reductions in sleep may contribute to unhealthy consequences, especially metabolic abnormalities (eg, obesity and type-2 diabetes mellitus). 28 Therefore, whether the risk of unhealthy consequences can be ameliorated by catching up on sleep on weekends and holidays is hotly debated.…”

ObjectiveThis study evaluated the association between sleep patterns and the risk of being overweight/obese in Chinese children.MethodsA total of 3,086 children (1,608 boys and 1,478 girls) between 7 and 14 years of age and studying in primary schools were recruited as eligible study participants in this study. We collected the information about children regarding sleep patterns, body height and weight, insomnia, healthy status, time allocation of daily activities, and demographic characteristics using a parental-reported questionnaire.ResultsOverweight/obese children were younger, predominantly male, and more prone to have suffered from illness in the past 12 months compared to normal-weight peers. They were also less prone to compensate for sleep deficits during weekends (47.6% vs 39.1%; χ2=11.637, P<0.001) and holidays (52.0% vs 42.0%; χ2=16.057, P<0.001). Sleep duration on weekdays did not affect the risk of being overweight/obese. The adjusted odds ratios for overweight/obesity (noncompensated) group using the compensated group as a reference were 1.197 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.004–1.493) during weekends and 1.309 (95% CI: 1.052–1.630) during holidays.ConclusionCompensation for sleep deficits on non-weekdays may ameliorate the risk of being overweight/obese in Chinese children. Moreover, no significant association between the risk of being overweight/obese and sleep duration on weekdays was demonstrated in the current study, which may be due to pervasive sleep insufficiency on weekdays in Chinese children.
