“…Prevalence rates of restless sleep (as opposed to insomnia) across 23 countries in Europe was less than 10% in Mediterranean and Nordic countries, ranged from 11% to 22% in Western European countries and from 25% to 37% in Eastern European countries among working-aged adults [37]. Likewise, the highest prevalence rates of sleep problems were found in the USA (56%), followed by Western Europe (31%), and Japan (23%) [38]. Cross-cultural studies in pediatric samples suggest that toddlers and children from Asian cultures (e.g., Hong Kong, India, Singapore) tend to go to bed at later times, wake up at earlier times, report shorter sleep durations, and are perceived by parents to exhibit more sleep problems compared to children from Caucasian cultures (e.g., Canada, UK, New Zealand) [39][40].…”

This paper summarizes recent epidemiological evidence on insomnia, including its prevalence, incidence, and risk factors, as well as its course and consequences. There is now substantial evidence that insomnia is a significant public health problem. It is a highly prevalent condition, both as a symptom and a syndrome, and is often a persistent condition over time. Its persistence is associated with increased risk for mental (major depression), physical (hypertension), and occupational health problems (disability). Chronic insomnia also carries heavy economic burden, both in terms of direct healthcare costs and, more importantly, in terms of human resources loss due to the illness and lack of treatment. These findings have direct implications for community-based prevention and intervention programs and for future research including the need for: a) longitudinal, population-based studies aimed at evaluating whether we can prevent insomnia among at-risk individuals; b) clinical studies evaluating whether the morbidity associated with chronic insomnia is reversible; and c) prospective health economic evaluations of prevention programs using different dissemination technologies. Key Points• The epidemiology of insomnia has received increased attention in the last decade and investigators have moved from a purely cross-sectional approach to a more prospective and longitudinal approach.• Progress on the epidemiology of insomnia has been hampered by important methodological shortcomings including, but not limited to, the lack of a consistent case definition and standardized assessment procedures across studies.• Additional prospective and longitudinal studies are needed to identify early precursors of insomnia and factors moderating its trajectories over time.• A better understanding of how insomnia evolves over time and what factors trigger an episode or perpetuate it over time is critical for developing effective prevention and treatment programs. Outline• Introduction • Nature of insomnia complaints and updated diagnostic criteria • Prevalence and correlates of insomnia • Incidence and risk factors • Course of Insomnia -persistence, remission, relapse • Consequences and burden of insomnia

“…In western Europe and the Us there is a higher frequency of sleep disorder occurrence in the group of respondents aged 25-44. In Japan this problem occurs in people aged 55-64 [20]. a different opinion in this matter is presented by Dragioti et al, whose studies have not shown a statistically significant relationship between age and insomnia or its symptoms [21].…”

A -study Design, B -Data collection, C -statistical analysis, D -Data Interpretation, E -Manuscript preparation, F -literature search, G -Funds collection Background. Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder among adult people. It causes tiredness, difficulties in focusing, loss of energy, increased sensitivity, and irritability. Insomnia may develop into a chronic sleep disorder which has a direct negative impact on the quality of life of the affected person and it limits their capabilities of functioning in society. Objectives. the study objective was to seek relationships between age, the use of Hrt, occurrence of depression symptoms and chronic conditions and insomnia in postmenopausal women. Material and methods. the study was conducted on 128 women, students of the University of the third age in stargard. the median age was 65 years and ranged from 47 to 82 years old. the study was conducted with the use of the Insomnia severity Index, the Beck Depression Inventory and the authors' own questionnaire. Results. Various degrees of insomnia were diagnosed in 69 women (53.91%). a statistically significant relationship was found between insomnia and age (x 2 = 27.48; p = 0.007), occurrence of depression (x 2 = 12.93; p = 0.005), and depression symptoms (x 2 = 81.86; p < 0.001). the study revealed no statistically significant relationship between insomnia and the use of Hrt, or the existence of chronic conditions. Conclusions. age and depression symptoms have a significant impact on the occurrence of insomnia. However, the use of Hrt or preexisting chronic conditions have no key influence on the occurrence of insomnia. Key words: insomnia, Insomnia severity Index (IsI), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), chronic conditions, Hrt.

“…The proportion of patients with GERD or functional dyspepsia who had sleep disturbances due to heartburn and/or regurgitation in the current study was higher than the 31% prevalence of any sleep problems reported for western Europe in a large, generalpopulation survey. 16 The current analysis looked specifically at sleep disturbances due to heartburn and/or regurgitation and thus did not capture the overall proportion of patients with any sleep disturbances, which is likely to have been substantially higher.…”

Background: Reflux symptoms (heartburn and regurgitation) are common in patients with functional dyspepsia who do not have gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship of reflux symptoms with sleep disturbances in patients with functional dyspepsia without GERD and in those with GERD. Methods: This post-hoc analysis of data from the Diamond study (NCT00291746) included patients with frequent upper gastrointestinal symptoms, of whom 137 had functional dyspepsia and 193 had GERD (diagnosed by endoscopy and pH monitoring). Patients completed symptom questionnaires and were interviewed by physicians. Results: During the seven nights before study entry, 46.0% of patients with functional dyspepsia and 64.8% of those with GERD reported sleep disturbances (any frequency) related to reflux symptoms. Frequent (often/every night) sleep disturbances were experienced by 12.4% of patients with functional dyspepsia and 24.9% of those with GERD (p ¼ 0.005). Among patients with functional dyspepsia, the prevalence of sleep disturbances was highest in those whose heartburn and/or regurgitation were moderate to severe (vs mild/very mild) and frequent (4-7 vs 1-3 days/week). Conclusions: Sleep disturbances due to reflux symptoms are common in patients with functional dyspepsia who do not have GERD, and become more frequent with increasing reflux symptom severity and frequency.

An international survey of sleeping problems in the general population

Abstract: Sleeping problems continue to present a considerable burden across Western Europe, the USA and Japan. Despite this, they are under-reported and under-treated, with almost half of affected individuals not taking any steps to resolve their sleeping problems.
