“…These findings related to sleep in young doctors in the Indian scenario require attention, as the excessive workload compounded by the inadequate sleep in them can be a threat to the health of both the physician and the patient. Prolonged sleep restriction has been reported to reduce the cognitive and clinical performance of physicians [ 13 - 15 ]. More dangerously, the chronically sleep-deprived tend to underestimate their impairment [ 16 ], which can have serious repercussions in the scenario of patient care by a physician with cumulative sleep debt.…”

Background: Limited information is available on the sleep and propensity for daytime sleepiness in young medical doctors of India. Methods:The 2-week self-reported data surrounding sleep and exercise habits, and the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS) score obtained from volunteering doctors of a tertiary care hospital in India, were summarized as median (Q1-Q3).Comparisons with Mann-Whitney U test and correlations with Spearman's rank correlation were done.Results: Forty-seven doctors (28 [26-33] years, 16 males) reported a total sleep duration (TSD) of 6.3 (6-6.7) hours, sleep latency of 9 (5.1-15.8) minutes, and ESS score of 8 (5-10). The number of days (out of 14) when the subjective feeling of 'refreshed', 'somewhat refreshed', and 'fatigued' was experienced was respectively 6 (2-9), 5 (3-8), and 1 (0-4).Junior-level doctors experienced more days of 'fatigue' than senior-level doctors (3 [0-4.3], 0 [0-0]; p = 0.002). Doctors who did not exercise reported greater days of fatigue than those who exercised (2 [0-4.8], 0 [0-2]; p = 0.047). Conclusions:The young doctors of our study slept less than the recommended amount of 7 hours by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine. Their short sleep latency and normal propensity for daytime sleepiness, though encouraging, may be an effect of insufficient sleep and mentally alerting daytime schedule respectively. Notably, we found a positive association between exercise habits and subjective restoration following sleep in our study population. The sleep requirements and sleep structure among Indians are yet to be established. Our findings add to the data on sleep in the Indian context.

An ever-increasing burden of non-communicable diseases, especially in the post pandemic times and an association of sleep problems with them highlighted a felt need to estimate the sleep problem in India. A meta-analysis of the studies conducted on Indian data was planned adhering to PRISMA guidelines. An electronic search of available literature was performed on databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, PsycNet, and Epistemonikos. 100 eligible articles were analysed. To assess the methodological quality 10-points Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI) checklist for prevalence studies was used. The pooled estimates for prevalence of Insomnia found were 25.7%, OSA 37.4%, and RLS 10.6%. An increased prevalence was seen in patients of diabetes, heart disease patients and in otherwise healthy population. Subgroup analysis showed a higher prevalence in patient population and in the otherwise healthy population too,; e.g. Insomnia 32.3% (95% CI: 18.6% to 49.9%, I2=99.4%) and 15.1% (95% CI: 8.0% to 26.6%, I2=99.1%); OSA 48.1% (95% CI: 36.1% to 60.3%, I2=97.4%) and 14.6% (95% CI: 9.2% to 22.5%, I2=97.4%) and RLS 13.1% (95% CI: 8.7% to 19.3%, I2=91.9%) and 6.6% (95% CI: 2.4% to 16.4%, I2=99.1%) respectively. Excessive daytime sleepiness remained prevalent (19.6%) (95 % CI: 8.4% to 39.1%, I2=99.8%) in the healthy, which was alarming. A multipronged approach for sleep management, evaluation and research is the need of the hour for managing non communicable disorders and for promoting sleep health in the healthy population.

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to assess the mental health status and quality of sleep among house officers in Peshawar and to determine the correlation between their mental health status and quality of sleep.METHODOLOGY This was a cross-sectional study, conducted on house officers of four tertiary care hospitals in Peshawar. Data was collected through a self-administered questionnaire using convenience sampling technique. Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) scale was used for assessing the sleep quality and Warwick Edinburgh mental wellbeing scale (WEMWBS) was used for assessing the mental health status of the respondents.RESULTSAmong the 276 house officers, the mean mental health score was 48.13±9.17, and mean sleep quality score was 6.39±3.27. In comparison, female House officers had poor mental health status (female: 45.72±9.32, male: 49.83±8.70, p<0.05) and sleep quality (female: 6.91±3.77, male: 6.03±2.82, p<0.05. The hospital status showed no significant association between sleep quality (p value: 0.778) and mental health score (p value: 0.573). Furthermore, quality of sleep had a positive correlation with mental health status of house officers (p<0.01).CONCLUSIONMental health status and quality of sleep among house officers was poor. Female house officers had a poor mental well-being and a poor sleep quality compared to male house officers. There was no significant difference between the mental health status and quality of sleep, of house officers working in public hospitals and those working in private hospitals. House officers having a poor sleep quality also had a poor mental health status showing a positive correlation between the two
