Similarly, previous studies failed to find a correlation between gender and sleep quality [ 20 , 23 , 25 ]. However, James et al [ 23 ] indicated that female gender was associated with a risk for bad sleep quality.…”

OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study was to measure the sleep quality and anxiety level of a group of employees, as well as determine the relationship between sleep quality and anxiety and other factors.METHODS:A total of 130 of 185 employees at a university campus were enrolled in this cross-sectional study. A descriptive questionnaire, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and the Beck Anxiety Inventory were the data collection instruments. In addition to univariate analysis, the relationship between the 2 scales was examined with Spearman correlation analysis.RESULTS:Of the participants, 38.9% had poor sleep quality. Gender, income level, presence of a chronic disease, regular medication use, and relationship with family and the social environment were found to affect both sleep quality and anxiety. A decrease in sleep quality was associated with an increase in the level of anxiety.CONCLUSION:Poor sleep quality and a high anxiety level are common in this country, as in the rest of the world. Socioeconomic interventions and psychosocial support to improve the status of individuals with risk factors, such as chronic disease, will reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality and overall psychosocial health. Further prospective studies should be conducted with different groups of participants and with larger samples to expand knowledge of the relationship between sleep quality and anxiety.

“…In Turkey, very few studies related to the topic were encountered. In these studies, insomnia prevalence of university students ranged between 41.1% and 69.5% (Aysan, Karaköse, Zaybak, & Günay‐Ismailoğlu, ; Karatay et al, ; Sarı et al, ; Saygılı, Çil, Akıncı, Arıkan, & Dereli, ; Şenol, Soyuer, Pekşen‐Akca, & Argun, ). Only one study was encountered conducted in nursing students, and the insomnia prevalence was reported as 56.7% (Karatay et al, ).…”

“…The multiple reasons of insomnia among students were found to be inadequate sleep hygiene, caffeine and energy drink consumption, stimulants and alcohol use, technology (the use of technology before going to bed), uncomfortable sleeping environments (ie, loud noise and temperature), workload (scheduling and activities), gender, sleep disorders (ie, obstructive sleep apnea, and restless legs disorder), and worrying/thinking about important matters in the bed (Aysan et al, ; Gellis & Park, ; Hershner & Chervin, ; Kloss et al, ; Şenol et al, ; Suen et al, ; Tan, Chen, Lu, & Li, ). Furthermore, the factors effecting insomnia in students are reported as having a chronical illness, sleep disorder, social‐familial, physical and mental problem, gastrointestinal system disorder and appetite change problems, acute infections, using a medication, eating/drinking before sleeping, not to sleep in the same hour everyday (Aysan et al, ; Karatay et al, ; Sarı et al, ; Sasai et al, ; Şenol et al, ). The studies have identified various risk factors for poor sleep among college students, and they include anxiety, depression, preference to be awake during the evening, and the female gender (Buboltz et al, ; El Ansari, Khalil, & Stock, ; Nyer et al, ; Taylor et al, ; Vand, Gharraee, Asgharnejad Farid, & Bandi, ).…”
