          Abstract

          Abstract Introduction: Many lifestyle habits can negatively affect sleep quality (SQ) and lead to poor quality of life. This makes it important to determine the prevalence of poor SQ in the population and the lifestyle habits that may be associated with it, with a view to designing appropriate interventions for improving SQ. The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of poor SQ among the population of Salamanca (Spain) and its relationship with specific lifestyle habits Method: A cross-sectional study was carried out between July and November 2019. SQ was studied in 261 patients using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and the frequency with which patients performed a series of lifestyle habits was quantified. The association between variables was assessed using multivariate binary logistic regression. Results: Almost half of the study population (48.7%) was found to have poor SQ. Physical exercise was a protective factor against poor SQ (OR = 0.221; CI95%: 0.081-0.603). Risk factors for poor SQ included being disturbed at night (OR = 3.606; CI95%: 1.892-6.872), going to bed preoccupied (OR = 3.145; CI95%: 1.528-6.471), reading trivial material (OR = 2.475; CI95%: 1.208-5.070), and playing video games (OR = 3.639; CI95%: 1.326-9.984). Conclusions: In Salamanca (Spain), almost half of the study population stated that they suffered poor SQ. Although numerous lifestyle habits that may relate to poor SQ were studied, a statistically significant relationship was only found for a few of them.

          Resumen Introducción: Muchos de los hábitos de vida pueden influir negativamente en la calidad de sueño (CS) y por lo tanto pueden desembocar en una mala calidad de vida. Por esa razón es importante determinar la prevalencia de mala CS en la población y qué hábitos de vida pueden estar relacionados con ella. De este modo se podrán diseñar intervenciones adecuadas que permitan mejorar la CS. El objetivo de este estudio fue estudiar la prevalencia de mala CS de la población de Salamanca (España) y su relación con ciertos hábitos de vida. Método: Se estudió la CS de 261 pacientes mediante el “Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index” y se cuantificó la frecuencia con la que éstos realizaban una serie de hábitos de vida. La asociación entre variables se estudió mediante una regresión logística binaria multivariante. Resultados: Casi la mitad de la población (48,7%) mostró tener mala CS. El ejercicio físico fue un factor protector para la mala CS (OR = 0,221; 95%CI: 0,081-0,603). Fueron factores de riesgo para la mala CS ser molestado por la noche (OR = 3,606; 95%CI: 1,892-6,872), ir a la cama preocupado (OR = 3,145; 95%CI: 1,528-6,471), leer cosas no transcendentales (OR = 2,475; 95%CI: 1,208-5,070), o jugar a videojuegos (OR = 3,639; 95%CI: 1,326-9,984). Conclusiones: Casi la mitad de la población de estudio indicó padecer una mala CS en Salamanca (España). Pese a que muchos hábitos de vida están relacionados con la mala CS, solo se encontró relación estadísticamente significativa con algunos de ellos.

          The Pittsburgh sleep quality index: A new instrument for psychiatric practice and research

          Despite the prevalence of sleep complaints among psychiatric patients, few questionnaires have been specifically designed to measure sleep quality in clinical populations. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a self-rated questionnaire which assesses sleep quality and disturbances over a 1-month time interval. Nineteen individual items generate seven "component" scores: subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, use of sleeping medication, and daytime dysfunction. The sum of scores for these seven components yields one global score. Clinical and clinimetric properties of the PSQI were assessed over an 18-month period with "good" sleepers (healthy subjects, n = 52) and "poor" sleepers (depressed patients, n = 54; sleep-disorder patients, n = 62). Acceptable measures of internal homogeneity, consistency (test-retest reliability), and validity were obtained. A global PSQI score greater than 5 yielded a diagnostic sensitivity of 89.6% and specificity of 86.5% (kappa = 0.75, p less than 0.001) in distinguishing good and poor sleepers. The clinimetric and clinical properties of the PSQI suggest its utility both in psychiatric clinical practice and research activities.

            Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Chronic Insomnia: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis.

            Because psychological approaches are likely to produce sustained benefits without the risk for tolerance or adverse effects associated with pharmacologic approaches, cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-i) is now commonly recommended as first-line treatment for chronic insomnia.

              The role of sleep hygiene in promoting public health: A review of empirical evidence.

              The ineffectiveness of sleep hygiene as a treatment in clinical sleep medicine has raised some interesting questions. If it is known that, individually, each specific component of sleep hygiene is related to sleep, why wouldn't addressing multiple individual components (i.e., sleep hygiene education) improve sleep? Is there still a use for sleep hygiene? Global public health concern over sleep has increased demand for sleep promotion strategies accessible to the population. However, the extent to which sleep hygiene strategies apply outside clinical settings is not well known. The present review sought to evaluate the empirical evidence for sleep hygiene recommendations regarding exercise, stress management, noise, sleep timing, and avoidance of caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, and daytime napping, with a particular emphasis on their public health utility. Thus, our review is not intended to be exhaustive regarding the clinical application of these techniques, but rather to focus on broader applications. Overall, though epidemiologic and experimental research generally supported an association between individual sleep hygiene recommendations and nocturnal sleep, the direct effects of individual recommendations on sleep remains largely untested in the general population. Suggestions for clarification of sleep hygiene recommendations and considerations for the use of sleep hygiene in nonclinical populations are discussed.
