“…Individual traits are often targeted as the cause of poor sleep and low sleep duration. Alcohol consumption, cigarette smoking or unhealthy dietary habits 39 as well as being unmarried 40 indeed play a role in explaining sleep problems within the Japanese population. Policy interventions have long tried to address sleep issues in Japan with interventions targeting individual behaviours or sleep patterns (e.g.…”

Background: Few studies have captured the relationship between employment status, working time and job satisfaction and sleep duration and quality in Japan where poor sleep quality and low sleep duration are major public health concerns. Methods: We use four waves from the Japan Study of Aging and Retirement (JSTAR) to assess the relationship between employment status and self-reported job satisfaction and sleep duration and self-reported sleep quality. We control for socio-demographic characteristics, working time and self-reported measures of health. The initial sample includes 7,082 respondents. We use mixed effects modified Poisson regression for binary outcomes for sleep quality and linear mixed effects for sleep duration and multiple imputations to correct for sample attrition. Results: No major difference is observed between employment status and poor sleep quality except for housekeepers (0.123 [ 95%CI: 0.041; 0.205]) in comparison with full-time employed workers. All categories of workers tend to report sleeping longer than full-time employees with higher hours among those who retired (0.339 [95%CI: 0.218; 0.460]). Poor job satisfaction is associated with higher risks of self-reported poor sleep quality (0.230 [95%CI: 0.040, 0.421]) and waking up at night (0.362 [95%CI: 0.025, 0.699]) but the associations fade away when controlling for other health measurements (respectively, -0.137 [95%CI: -0.328, 0.054] and 0.092 [95%CI: -0.248; 0.432]). Conclusion: Retirement increases sleep duration without improving sleep quality and housekeepers sleep longer but with poorer sleep quality. Job satisfaction is a major cofounder of sleep quality among the workforce but the effect is mediated by physical and mental health levels.

“…Similarly, Matsumoto et al found that being unmarried was more associated with poor sleep than being married. Unmarried men showed signi cantly decreased odds for all good sleep (51). This is probably because previously married participants are heads of families, which comes with welfare and other nancial responsibilities.…”

Background Adult substance use may be a significant predictor of sleeping problems, according to extant research. Children exposed to secondhand (SHS) also have a high likelihood of sleep problems. There is limited information on the relationships between exposure to psychoactive substances and subsequent sleep issues in adults and children, particularly in Uganda. We set out to assess the links between exposure to psychoactive substances and sleep problems in adults and children. Methods: This was a cross-sectional study among 284 adults in a slum setting in Kampala, Uganda. We assessed self-reported sleeping problems among adults (sleep duration, insomnia, sleep dissatisfaction) and sleep-disordered breathing disorder (SBD) among children. We also assessed children's early-life SHS exposure (during pregnancy and the first six months of life) using questionnaires. Using a generalized linear model of the Poisson family, we estimated the association between sleeping problems and psychoactive substance use (adults) and SHS exposure (children). Results On working days, 59.2% of adults reported sleeping less than 7 hours, and 28.3% expressed dissatisfaction with their sleep patterns and durations. Approximately 39.6% of the children were reported to have sleep-disordered breathing problems. Among adults, sleep dissatisfaction was associated with alcohol use (PR = 1.78(1.20 - 2.64)). Compared to unexposed counterparts, children, exposed to both prenatal SHS and within the first six months of life had a higher risk of SBD (PR= 1.81, 95%CI 1.23 – 2.67). Conclusions Alcohol was linked to sleep dissatisfaction among adults while earlier life exposure to SHS was associated with an increased risk of SBD problems in children. This emphasizes the need to support ongoing public health initiatives and maintain a smoke-free environment, particularly for children in their early life.
