Subjective sleep quality has been recognized as a valuable indicator of health and quality of life. This exploratory and descriptive study aimed at describing habitual sleep quality of women suffering from gynecological and breast cancer and comparing habitual versus sleep quality during hospitalization. Twenty-five women admitted in hospital for clinical treatment of cancer completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) within 72 hours after admission and again just before discharge. Fifty-two percent of subjects reported habitual bad sleep quality, and this proportion increased to 80% of subjects during hospital stay. Subjects indicated the following most frequent causes of night sleep disturbance: need to go to the toilet, waking up early and receiving nursing care during the night. Results point to the importance of including careful assessment of sleep quality and environment in nursing care planning for oncology patients, mainly during hospitalization.

Subjective Sleep

Irregular sleep patterns are often a major hindrance in the life of undergraduate students, fueled by the undulating lifestyle anomalies and new vulnerabilities that come with college life. Insomnia, slapdash sleep cycles, and daytime dysfunction may affect both physical as well as mental well-being of individuals. India has the largest share of young adults in the world, which also makes it a likely epicenter for increasing sleep disorders. Students are often exposed to a significantly high level of academic burden and turn to options such as pulling all-nighters that further propel these issues. Most students realize the effects of a bad sleep schedule but nonetheless sacrifice it for the promise of better grades ignoring the double-edged sword. This study assesses the association of self-rated subjective sleep quality with habits prevalent among undergraduate students in India and its effect on their academic performance. Based on a modified PSQI questionnaire, the participants’ sleep quality was scored and a large majority of students showed an overall moderately good sleep quality. Insufficient sleep was seen to have an adverse effect on facial appearance, work productivity and enthusiasm for daily chores, among students. Unlike previous reports, the current dataset did not reveal any significant impact of sleep quality on the academic performance of the students. We also analyzed the most prevalent factors that were responsible for disruption of sleep in college goers and probed the major reasons for nighttime phone usage, which revealed social media to be a major contributor. Although the negative impact of sleep deprivation on academic performance has been studied earlier, any differential impact of stream has not been addressed thoroughly. Unlike the common belief of disparity induced due to stream-based academic pressure, our survey analysis showed insignificant contribution of stream leading to differences in sleep quality of students. Although participants’ reported mild disruption in sleep, it was observed across all streams and it did not seem to have an immediate effect on overall sleep quality of undergraduate students.

AbstractGenerally applicable qualifications of sleep and principles for achieving better sleep are difficult to design, because sleep quality can depend on individual demographic characteristics and lifestyles. In this study, the static and dynamic features of sleep–wake patterns were analyzed in association with quantitative sleep-related parameters and self-rated sleep quality to serve as a practical selection of sleep–wake patterns fitted to individual conditions. Data obtained over a 2-week period by actigraphy from university students and information technology workers were measured to obtain a daily subjective rating of sleep quality using the Oguri–Shirakawa–Azumi (OSA) sleep inventory. Qualitative sleep quality in terms of OSA score and quantitative sleep-related and chronobiological features were analyzed with regard to their dependency on the demographic characteristics, habitual sleep–wake patterns (HSWP), and distinction of weekdays/weekends. Multi-factor ANOVA was used to further investigate their dependencies regarding multiple ways of interactions between the demographic characteristics, HSWP, and distinction of weekdays/weekends. Subjective sleep quality and quantitative sleep-related parameters depended on the demographic characteristics, and so did their associations. The classification of day-to-day variations in HSWP showed four clusters that were effective factors for understanding their dependencies. Multi-factor analysis revealed demographic characteristics, HSWP, distinction of weekdays/weekends, and their multi-way interactions up to 3rd order as significant effectors of qualitative and quantitative quality of sleep. This study clarified how quantitative sleep-related parameters, subjective sleep quality, and their associations depended on demographic characteristics. Furthermore, their dependency was understood as a combination of multi-way interactions between the demographic characteristics, HSWP, and the distinction of weekdays/weekends. Our findings could provide a basis for the design of individually matched sleep–wake patterns.
