“…We observed strong associations between age and sleep patterns in both sexes, in concordance with previous studies 6, [13][14][15][16][17][18][19] However, a significant association between subjective awakening state and reported sleep duration was observed only in females in our study. These results may support the findings by Hoch et al 20) who explored the association of self-reported sleep patterns with laboratory records among healthy elderly subjects without insomnia.…”

“…Habte-Gabr et al reported that individuals with lower education may have poor access to optimal medical care that may result in an overall poor health (22). This is expected to increase the risk of sleep disturbances (8). We found a correlation between lower educational status and sleep quality, similar to those of the aforementioned studies.…”

Background: Sleep disturbance is common in menopausal women. Objectives: This study aimed to measure the rate of self-reported sleep disturbance and to identify its associated factors in 50-60 year-old women. Patients and Methods:This cross-sectional study included 700 healthy volunteer women aged 50 to 60 years, who were in postmenopausal period for at least 1 year. The participants were interviewed after obtaining informed consents. The study questionnaire covered two main aspects of personal characteristics and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Data was analyzed using SPSS 14 software. Results: The frequency of sleep disturbance was 62.5%. A significant association was found between sleep disturbance and characteristics of occupation, education, financial status and husband's profession. There were no significant association between sleep disturbance and other personal characteristics, such as age, partner's age, number of children, family size and consumption of tea, coffee or cola. Conclusion: Sleep disturbance is common in menopausal women. Appropriate interventions based on sleep-related personal characteristics should be performed to improve sleep quality, which is very important for maintaining the quality of life.

“…Results from previous investigations have shown that people with physical and mental health problems, including chronic illnesses such as hypertension, diabetes, and obstructive pulmonary disease give rise to more sleep disorders. 19,21,23,25,27,34,36,38 The same is found for the more physically disabled individuals with poliomyelitis and multiple sclerosis. 41 ± 43 Despite the di erences found between the two populations, the number of hours the responders usually sleep per night (Q12), as well as the number of hours of sleep they feel they need per night (Q20), is similar.…”

Study design: Epidemiological review. Objective: To evaluate sleep disturbances in the spinal cord injured. Setting: The Clinic for Para-and Tetraplegia, Hornbñk/Copenhagen, Copenhagen University hospital, Denmark. Methods: All patients admitted with traumatic SCI during the 20-year period 1968 ± 1987 were reviewed. The normal population consisted of 339, 222 men and 117 women. These groups were asked to ®ll in the self-administered Nordic Sleep Questionnaire (NSQ) containing 21 questions. Questions were added regarding employment, smoking, alcohol, co ee or tea consumption, height and weight. The questionnaire for SCI individuals included questions about bladder emptying method, mobility, and spasms. For the SCI population age at injury, cause of injury, neurological level, and functional class were retrieved. Results: Four hundred and eight SCI individuals, 331 men and 77 women, answered the NSQ corresponding to a response rate of 83.8%. Forty-seven per cent had a cervical cord lesion and about half of the population had a complete motor lesion. In comparison with the normal population the SCI individuals had greater di culty in falling asleep, described more frequent awakenings, slept subjectively less well, were more often prescribed sleeping pills, slept more hours, took more and longer naps, and snored more and for more years. In particular, spasms, pain, paraesthesia, and troubles with voiding were claimed to be part of the sleep problems. Conclusion: In spite of the same average age and a higher body mass index in the normal than the SCI population, the SCI individuals showed signi®cantly more sleep problems than the normal population.
