Background The objective of this study was to assess the influence of nocturnal headaches (NH) on subjective sleep parameters prospectively in habitual snorers and their bed partners. Methods We recruited habitual snorers and their bed partners via newspaper articles. The participants completed a semistructured interview, filled in questionnaires about quality of sleep (PSQI), daytime sleepiness (ESS), depression (SDS) and anxiety (SAS) and they kept a 90-day headache and sleep diary. Results Seventy-six snorers (25 female) and 41 bed partners (31 female) completed the study recording a total of 6690 and 3497 diary days, respectively. NH were recorded on 222 (3.3%) and 79 (2.2%) days in 32 (42%) snorers and 17 (41%) bed partners, respectively. Snorers with NH showed significantly higher PSQI (5 ± 3 vs. 4 ± 2, p = 0.004), SAS (38 ± 11 vs. 31 ± 10, p = 0.011) and SDS scores (39 ± 12 vs. 34 ± 10, p = 0.048) than snorers without NH. For bed partners with NH we found a significant female predominance (sex ratio f:m = 16:1 vs. 12:12, p = 0.005) and significantly higher SAS scores (38 ± 6 vs. 33 ± 8, p = 0.030) compared with bed partners without NH. The subjective quality of sleep in habitual snorers ( p < 0.001) as well as their bed partners ( p = 0.017) was negatively influenced by NH, but not total sleep time. Discussion NH occurred in around 40% of snorers and their bed partners at least once during the 90-day observation period. Our results confirmed a negative impact on the subjective quality of sleep in both groups.

This study aimed to evaluate surgical-oncologic patients' quality of sleep through the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire. It is an exploratory study with transversal-observational design, in 46 postoperative head & neck and urology cancer patients. The PSQI questionnaire was used to evaluate the subjective quality of sleep and the occurrence of sleep disorders. Six PSQI components were statistically significant and 78.3% of the interviewees had impaired subjective quality of sleep. Among factors leading to sleep disorders we point out: taking too long to fall asleep; waking up in the middle of the night; getting up to go to the bathroom and napping during the day. This study is expected to sensitize the nursing team regarding the need to investigate quality of sleep and causes of its disorders in cancer survivors for an effective course of action.

Introduction: Stress affects different cardiovascular responses and trigger arrhythmias through Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) activation. Medical students generally tend to reduce their sleep, in order to adjust and cope with their stressful and demanding workload. Aim: To assess the correlation of QT intervals variables with quality of sleep and stress among young adult medical students. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was undertaken in All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Mangalagiri, Andhra Pradesh, India, among 60 medical students taken as internal match for collection of data at the beginning of the academic year (unstressed) and three weeks before the term-end examination (stressed) during October 2019 to March 2020. Two validated questionnaires namely, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to assess sleep quality and the Medical Student Stress Questionnaire (MSSQ) to measure the stressors and the intensity of stress were used among the medical students. Short-term Electrocardiogram (ECG) recording was used to measure QT interval variables. Descriptive statistics and paired t-test were applied using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 19.0. The p≤0.05 was considered significant. Results: Academic Related Stress (ARS) showed a highly significant increase during the stressed conditions (p<0.001). The mean global PSQI score of 6.03±2.76 was significantly higher (p-value <0.001; PSQI >5) during the stressed conditions indicating poor quality of sleep, when compared to 4.50±2.87 recorded in unstressed conditions. In stressed conditions, QT interval measures had moderate correlation with ARS. Quality of sleep had negative correlations with all QT interval measures except for corrected QT interval (QTc) and QTCmin. Conclusion: Stress affects the sleep quality and induced QT changes which reflected difference in variability between ‘stressed’ and ‘unstressed’ times. However, there is no significant impact on QT duration among the young adult medical students.
