Effect of short sleep duration on daily activities--United States, 2005-2008

Coronary Arterial Disease (CAD) is one of cardiovaskular disease that remain leading cause death and disability. Short sleep duration is the major symptoms in patients with CAD, during recovery period after cardiac events and during cardiac rehabilitation. Benson’s relaxation is one of relaxation as modalities therapy to increase sleep duration, however few studies related to this technique in planned intervention. This study was to measured the effectiveness of Benson’s relaxation in short sleep duration of CAD patients during cardiac rehabilitation. It was a quasi experimental pretest posttest control group design. This study included 29 respondens in Dr.M.Djamil Hospital were assigned to intervention group which receiving Benson’s relaxation technique (n=15) and control group with routine care (n=14). Benson’s relaxation technique was administered for 5 days 2 times a day, each 20 minutes to intervention group. Short sleep duration was measured using sleep diary (self report). The result indicated significant increasing in mean of sleep duration before and after Benson’s relaxation in intervention group (p value < 0,001). The study concluded that Benson’s relaxation technique is an effective non-pharmacological intervention to increase sleep duration in CAD patients. Penyakit jantung koroner menjadi masalah kardiovaskular yang mengakibatkan angka mortalitas yang tinggi. Durasi tidur pendek termasuk salah satu keluhan utama pasien penyakit jantung koroner pada masa recovery setelah serangan dan menjalani rehabilitasi fase 2. Relaksasi Benson merupakan teknik relaksasi sebagai terapi modalitas untuk mengurangi keluhan durasi tidur pendek, namum belum banyak penelitian terkait intervensi ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi pengaruh relaksasi Benson terhadap durasi tidur pasien penyakit jantung koroner yang menjalani rehabilitasi fase 2. Penelitian ini menggunakan desain Quasi Eksperimen dengan pendekatan control group pretest posttest design pada 29 responden di RSUP. Dr.M.Djamil Padang yang dibagi dalam dua kelompok (kelompok intervensi dan kelompok kontrol). Hasil penelitian menunjukan ada perbedaan rerata durasi tidur yang signifikan antara sebelum dan setelah dilakukan intervensi relaksasi Benson pada kelompok intervensi (p value < 0,001). Simpulan hasil penelitian ini dapat menjadi salah satu terapi modalitas bagi perawat untuk mengatasi masalah durasi tidur pendek pada pasien penyakit jantung koroner.

Abstract Introduction Cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) is efficacious, but there is mixed evidence as to whether improvement is blunted in adults with insomnia and short sleep duration. Exercise training can reduce physiologic hyperarousal and may increase homeostatic sleep drive, which could potentiate CBT-I treatment effects. This pilot study explored changes in self-reported outcomes from a CBT-I intervention augmented by exercise training in a sample of adults with insomnia and objective short sleep duration. Methods Eight adults (50% female, 62.5% white) with insomnia disorder and short sleep duration (mean actigraphic TST <6.5 hr) completed a 12-week single-arm trial. Participants self-administered the online “Sleep Healthy Using the Internet” (SHUT-I) CBT-I program with additional staff guidance while completing a supervised exercise program (EX; 150 min/wk of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise and 2 days/wk of strength training). Participants completed assessments of self-reported sleep and daytime function pre- and post-intervention, including the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), Flinders Fatigue Scale (FFS), Ford Insomnia Response to Stress Test (FIRST), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). Differences between timepoints were analyzed using paired t-tests and Cohen’s d effect size calculations. Results Insomnia severity significantly decreased after the intervention (ISI: p<0.001, d=2.99), with 75% reporting post-intervention ISI ≤ 7. Likewise, fatigue significantly decreased after the intervention (FFS: p=0.032, d=0.95). Symptoms of stress-related sleep reactivity and stress were also reduced (FIRST: p=0.012, d=1.19; PSS: p=0.014, d=1.14). Though nonsignificant, large reductions in sleepiness were additionally observed (ESS: p=0.058, d=0.80). Conclusion In this pilot trial among patients with insomnia and short sleep duration, online CBT-I plus a supervised exercise program resulted in a significant reduction in insomnia severity. The intervention also produced large and meaningful reductions in fatigue and stress, which are common daytime impairments in patients with insomnia. Future research should attempt to disentangle the independent contributions of CBT-I and exercise on outcomes in this population. Support (if any) NIH: K23HL118318

Abstract Aims Observational studies have suggested strong associations between sleep duration and many cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), but causal inferences have not been confirmed. We aimed to determine the causal associations between genetically predicted sleep duration and 12 CVDs using both linear and nonlinear Mendelian randomization (MR) designs. Methods and results Genetic variants associated with continuous, short (≤6 h) and long (≥9 h) sleep durations were used to examine the causal associations with 12 CVDs among 404 044 UK Biobank participants of White British ancestry. Linear MR analyses showed that genetically predicted sleep duration was negatively associated with arterial hypertension, atrial fibrillation, pulmonary embolism, and chronic ischaemic heart disease after correcting for multiple tests (P < 0.001). Nonlinear MR analyses demonstrated nonlinearity (L-shaped associations) between genetically predicted sleep duration and four CVDs, including arterial hypertension, chronic ischaemic heart disease, coronary artery disease, and myocardial infarction. Complementary analyses provided confirmative evidence of the adverse effects of genetically predicted short sleep duration on the risks of 5 out of the 12 CVDs, including arterial hypertension, pulmonary embolism, coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, and chronic ischaemic heart disease (P < 0.001), and suggestive evidence for atrial fibrillation (P < 0.05). However, genetically predicted long sleep duration was not associated with any CVD. Conclusion This study suggests that genetically predicted short sleep duration is a potential causal risk factor of several CVDs, while genetically predicted long sleep duration is unlikely to be a causal risk factor for most CVDs.
