Effect of brief Sleep Hygiene education for workers of an information technology company
Industrial health, 2010Co-Authors: Mitsuru Kakinuma, Masaya Takahashi, Noritada Kato, Yutaka Aratake, Mayumi Watanabe, Yumi Ishikawa, Reiko Kojima, Michi Shibaoka, Katsutoshi TanakaAbstract:To investigate the effects of Sleep Hygiene education for workers of an information technology (IT) company, we conducted a controlled clinical trial providing 581 workers one-hour Sleep Hygiene education. The contents of the Sleep Hygiene education program were a review of Sleep habits, provide Sleep Hygiene education, and the establishment of Sleep habit goals. A self-report questionnaire was used to measure outcomes including the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Karolinska Sleepiness Scale (KSS), Checklist Individual Strength (CIS), Center for Epidemiologic Studies for Depression (CES-D), and mean Sleep duration on weekdays before and 4 wk after the intervention. A total of 391 participants were included in the analysis, with 214 participants in the Sleep Hygiene education group and 177 in the waiting list group. KSS score at 2 P.M. decreased by 0.42 points in the Sleep Hygiene education group, but increased by 0.08 points in the waiting list group, showing a significant effect size of 0.50 (95%CI, -0.97 to -0.04, p

PSQI score also improved, but the inter-group difference was not statically significant. The present study provides preliminary evidence that brief Sleep Hygiene education may improve afternoon Sleepiness at work, but not Sleep at night for IT workers.

training caregivers to change the Sleep Hygiene practices of patients with dementia the nite ad project
Journal of the American Geriatrics Society, 2003Co-Authors: Susan M. Mccurry, Laura E. Gibbons, Rebecca G. Logsdon, Michael V. Vitiello, Linda TeriAbstract:Objectives: To examine the feasibility of training caregivers to implement Sleep Hygiene recommendations in dementia patients. Design: A randomized, controlled trial. Setting: Community. Participants: Twenty-two community-dwelling patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and their family caregivers. Interventions: All participants received written materials describing age- and dementia-related changes in Sleep and standard principles of good Sleep Hygiene. Caregivers in active treatment (n=10) also received specific recommendations about setting up and implementing a Sleep Hygiene program for the dementia patient. Control subjects (n=12) received general dementia education and caregiver support. Measurements: Success implementing Sleep Hygiene recommendations was measured using daily log reports to calculate the percentage of days that caregivers reported that patients met individualized Sleep scheduling, daytime-napping, and walking goals. Results: Caregivers in active treatment were more successful in setting goals related to Sleep scheduling and increasing daytime activity than control caregivers who received written materials only. Among patients who were candidates for Sleep Hygiene changes, active treatment subjects were also significantly (P<.01) more likely than controls to maintain a consistent bedtime (83% vs 38% of days attempted) and a consistent rising time (96% vs 59%), to nap less during the day (70% vs 28%), and to walk daily (86% vs 7%). Conclusion: This study provides evidence that Sleep Hygiene interventions are feasible with community-dwelling AD patients. Caregivers were able to help patients change Sleep scheduling, napping, and walking routines, but clinicians who recommend Sleep Hygiene changes for their dementia patients should be aware that many caregivers need active assistance setting up and implementing a Sleep Hygiene program. Simply providing caregivers with education is often insufficient.

The relation among Sleep duration, homework burden, and Sleep Hygiene in Chinese School-Aged Children
Behavioral sleep medicine, 2013Co-Authors: Wanqi Sun, Karen Spruyt, Wen-juan Chen, Yanrui Jiang, David J. Schonfeld, Ryan E. Adams, Chia-huei Tseng, Xiaoming Shen, Fan JiangAbstract:Insufficient Sleep in school-aged children is common in modern society, with homework burden being a potential risk factor. The aim of this article is to explore the effect of Sleep Hygiene on the association between homework and Sleep duration. Children filled out the Chinese version of the Adolescent Sleep Hygiene Scale, and parents filled out a sociodemographic questionnaire. The final sample included 363 boys and 371 girls with a mean age of 10.82 ± 0.38 years. Children with more homework went to bed later and slept less. Better Sleep Hygiene was associated with earlier bedtimes and longer Sleep duration. Findings suggest that homework burden had a larger effect on Sleep duration than Sleep Hygiene. Fifth-grade children in Shanghai have an excessive homework burden, which overwrites the benefit of Sleep Hygiene on Sleep duration.

The association of Sleep Hygiene and Sleep quality among school-age children
Zhonghua yu fang yi xue za zhi [Chinese journal of preventive medicine], 2012Co-Authors: Wanqi Sun, Wen-juan Chen, Yanrui Jiang, Xiaoming Shen, Chonghuai Yan, Xing-ming Jin, Fan JiangAbstract:Objective To study the association between Sleep Hygiene and Sleep duration and quality among school-age children,and to explore the risk factors related to poor Sleep Hygiene.Methods Totally 2019 grade-five children were sampled by stratified cluster random sampling from 10 primary schools in Shanghai,during November and December 2009.Questionnaires were used to investigate children and their parents.Adolescent Sleep Hygiene Scale( ASHS ) was used to inquiry Sleep Hygiene of children; Children Sleep Habits Questionnaire(CSHQ) was used to assess their Sleep duration and quality; Family and Social Environment Questionnaire was used to collect demographic and socio-economic information.T-test,one-way ANOVA and multiple linear regression model were established to identify the risk factors for Sleep Hygiene.Results The age of subjects was ( 10.81 ± 0.38 ) years old,49.0％ ( 989/2019 ) were boys.The ASHS total score was 125.43 ± 15.17,girls with better Sleep Hygiene than boys( 127.05 ± 14.41 vs 123.74 ± 15.75,P ＜0.05 ).The Sleep duration was (9.47 ±0.58)h/d,children slept less than 9 h/d had lower ASHS total score than those slept 9 - 10 h/d or over 10 h/d( 121.69 ± 16.09 vs 126.17 ± 14.62 vs 126.50 ± 15.36,P ＜0.05).Children with poor Sleep quality had worse Sleep Hygiene than those with good Sleep quality ( 121.00 ± 15.84 vs 128.36 ± 13.92,P ＜0.05 ).Children with television set in bedroom had lower ASHS total score than the others ( 122.40 ± 15.76 vs 126.74 ± 14.66,P ＜ 0.05 ).Children from single parent family had lower ASHS total score ( 117.90 ± 16.80 vs 125.94 ± 14.89,P ＜ 0.05 ).Children whose father had irregular Sleep or wake pattern had lower ASHS total score ( 122.65 ± 15.30 vs 125.89 ± 14.90 vs 127.79± 14.71,P ＜ 0.05 ).The regression model confirmed that existence of television set in children's bedroom,single-parent family and father's irregular Sleep pattern were the risk factors of poor Sleep Hygiene.Conclusion Sleep Hygiene was closely associated with Sleep duration and quality among school-age children.Children with television set in bedroom,male,from single parent family and whose father had irregular Sleep or wake pattern had worse Sleep quality.

self reported Sleep quantity quality and Sleep Hygiene in elite athletes
Journal of Sleep Research, 2018Co-Authors: Melanie Knufinke, Arne Nieuwenhuys, Sabine A E Geurts, A M L Coenen, Michiel A J KompierAbstract:Summary Sleep is essential for recovery and performance in elite athletes. While actigraphy-based studies revealed suboptimal Sleep in athletes, information on their subjective experience of Sleep is scarce. Relatively unexplored is also the extent to which athletes’ Sleep is adversely affected by environmental conditions and daytime behaviours, that is Sleep Hygiene. This study aimed to provide insight in Sleep quantity, quality and its putative association with Sleep Hygiene. Participants were 98 elite (youth) athletes competing at the highest (inter-)national level. Sleep quantity, quality and Sleep Hygiene were assessed once covering a 1-month period by using established (sub)clinical questionnaires, and repeatedly during 7 consecutive days. Sleep quality was generally healthy, although 41% of all athletes could be classified as ‘poor Sleeper’, and 12% were identified as having a Sleep disorder. Daily self-monitoring revealed Sleep durations of 8:11 ± 0:45 h, but elevated wake after Sleep onset of 13 ± 19 min. Sleep quality, feeling refreshed, and morning vigor were moderate at best. Regarding Sleep Hygiene, general measures revealed irregular Sleep–wake patterns, psychological strain and activating pre-Sleep behaviours. At the daily level, blue-light exposure and late-evening consumption of heavy meals were frequently reported. General Sleep Hygiene revealed significant associations with Sleep quality (0.45 0.50; P < 0.001). Results indicate that there is ample room for optimization, specifically in onset latency and in wake after Sleep onset. Subtle improvements in Sleep seem possible, and optimizing Sleep Hygiene, such as regular Sleep–wake patterns and reducing psychological strain, may facilitate this Sleep upgrading process.

Social Psychological Predictors of Sleep Hygiene Behaviors in Australian and Hong Kong University Students
International journal of behavioral medicine, 2020Co-Authors: Kyra Hamilton, Chun-qing Zhang, Daniel John Phipps, Ru ZhangAbstract:Sleep Hygiene behaviors in undergraduate students are associated with night-time Sleep duration and quality, daytime Sleepiness, and psychological distress. This study aimed to identify the social psychological factors that impact on university students’ Sleep Hygiene behaviors in samples from two countries. Participants were undergraduate students from Australia (N = 201, MAge = 22.82, SDAge = 8.89; 165 female) and Hong Kong (N = 161, MAge = 20.47, SDAge = 7.80; 84 female). The study used a correlational-prospective design. Individuals self-reported their intention, attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and past behavior with respect to Sleep Hygiene behaviors. Four weeks later, the students self-reported their action plans and participation in Sleep Hygiene behaviors. Analysis indicated acceptable model fit to data for both the Australian and Hong Kong samples. Results showed significant direct effects of attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control, and past behavior on intention, and significant direct effects of action planning and past behavior on prospectively measured Sleep Hygiene behavior. There were also significant indirect effects of attitude, subjective norms (Hong Kong sample only), and perceived behavioral control on behavior mediated by intention and action planning. Overall, the model predicted a large portion of the variance in Sleep Hygiene behavior for both the Australian (R2 = .524) and Hong Kong (R2 = .483) samples. Schenker and Gentleman t tests found no parameters significantly differed between samples. Results indicate that university students’ Sleep Hygiene behaviors are a function of both motivational and volitional processes. This formative data can inform future interventions to improve the Sleep Hygiene practices of university students.
