“…In a study of subjective sleep quality conducted with high school students, for instance, Gaina et al found that morning types were more satisfied with their sleep than evening types [55]. Recently, Dong and colleagues [56] demonstrated that eveningness had a significant prediction effect on poor sleep quality, which was consistent with previous suggestions, remarking that it may be related to the intrinsic properties of the circadian system. These findings support our result that eveningness had significantly poorer subjective sleep quality.…”

Chronotype and sleep quality have been shown to play significant roles in influencing people’s physical and mental health. The current study focuses on examining the relationship between chronotype and sleep quality among Chinese college students and exploring the mediating role of bedtime procrastination and the moderating role of sleep hygiene awareness. A sample of 2822 college students (female = 71.4%) aged between 17 and 29 years (M = 19.77, SD = 1.41) were included and completed the measures of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Morningness–Eveningness Questionnaire (MEQ), Bedtime Procrastination Scale (BPS) and Sleep Hygiene Awareness Scale (SHAS). The results showed that evening-type students reported the lowest sleep quality and highest levels of bedtime procrastination. In contrast, the highest sleep quality and lowest levels of bedtime procrastination were shown by morning-type, exhibiting the neither-type students’ intermediate chronotype. Bedtime procrastination partially mediated the relationship between chronotype and sleep quality. Furthermore, sleep hygiene awareness moderated the direct effect of chronotype on sleep quality and the effect of chronotype in the path from chronotype to bedtime procrastination. Specifically, higher levels of sleep hygiene awareness could buffer the adverse effect of chronotype on self-reported sleep quality but bolstered the negative effect of chronotype on bedtime procrastination. Our results suggest that individuals with an evening preference are inclined to postpone their bedtime and further experience poorer sleep quality at night. Sleep hygiene awareness may serve as a protective factor for poor nocturnal sleep. Overall, the findings highlight the importance of reducing bedtime procrastination and improving sleep hygiene awareness in the interventions designed to help college students to own a better sleep quality, especially for those with evening chronotypes.

“…These findings suggest that the duration of daily communication with parents, self-efficacy, and sleep quality critically affected depression and anxiety levels among youth during the epidemic stay-at-home period. Similar to other literature (Duan et al, 2022;Levens et al, 2016;Olatunji et al, 2020;Torres & Solberg, 2001;Tsuno et al, 2005), self-efficacy and sleep disturbance are important mediating variables between family factors and negative emotions (Dong et al, 2022).…”

“…Studies have shown that adequate parent–child communication time is essential for family support ( Diggs et al, 2017 ; Vaterlaus et al, 2019 ). In addition, studies have found that there is a chain mediating the relationship between parent–child communication and sleep quality and depressive symptoms ( Dong et al, 2022 ).…”

The current study examines the mediating roles of self-efficacy and sleep disturbance and the moderating role of gender in the association between the duration of youth/parent communication on depression and anxiety during the COVID-19 isolation period in China. We used the self-designed demographic variable questionnaire, General Self-Efficacy Scale, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the Self-Rating Depression Scale, and the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale with 1,772 youths aged 15–24 from 26 provinces in China during the COVID-19 lockdown. We performed demographic variable analysis, correlation analysis, mediation analysis, and moderated analysis. The duration of daily communication with parents was significantly positively correlated with self-efficacy and significantly negatively correlated with sleep disturbance, depression, and anxiety. The chain mediation analysis revealed that the duration of communication with parents directly affected depression and anxiety. Self-efficacy, sleep disturbance, and self-efficacy sleep disturbance had significant mediating and chain-mediating effects on the duration of communication with parents, depression, and anxiety. The interactions between sleep disturbance and gender (B = 0.35, 95% CI 0.06 to 0.64, p = .02 < .05) were significant. The duration of parent/youth communication directly affected depression and anxiety and indirectly affected depression and anxiety via the chain-mediating effect of self-efficacy and sleep disturbance. Gender moderates the relationships between sleep disturbance and depression.

“…The Dali University Students Eye Health Study aims to provide university-based data on the risk factors of visual impairment and common eye disorders among university students in Yunnan Province, which would help with the understanding of prevalence of ocular problems and facilitating health service planning and medical resource allocation in relatively underdeveloped areas of China. Detailed study protocols have been described in a previous report [ 18 ]. Briefly, the sampling frame included all freshmen entering the Dali University in 2021 and the list of their names was obtained from the university admissions department.…”

Background Myopia is prevalent in children and adolescents. Understanding the effect of multiple behaviors and their latent patterns on ocular biometric parameters may help clinicians and public health practitioners understand the behavioral risk pattern of myopia from a person-centered perspective. The purpose of this study was to identify the patterns of four major behavioral risk factors associated with myopia, including time spent outdoors, digital screen time, sleep duration, and performance of Chinese eye exercises. The study also examined the relationships between these behavioral patterns and myopia as well as ocular biometric parameters in a sample of Chinese college students. Methods This study included 2014 students from the Dali University Students Eye Health Study. The average age of the subjects was 19.0 ± 0.9 years old, ranging from 15.7 to 25.1 years old. Each participant’s refractive status was measured using an autorefractor without cycloplegia and ocular biometric parameters were measured using an IOL Master. Behavioral risk factors were collected using a pre-designed self-administered questionnaire. Latent class analysis (LCA) was performed to identify cluster patterns of various behaviors. Results The prevalence of myopia was 91.8% in this population. The 2-class model was selected for the LCA based on goodness-of-fit evaluation metrics. Among the overall study sample, 41.1% and 58.9% were assigned into the high-risk and low-risk class, respectively. The risk of myopia [odds ratio (OR) = 2.12, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.52–3.14], high myopia (OR = 1.43, 95% CI = 1.14–1.78) and axial length/corneal radius (AL/CR) ratio of more than 3.0 (OR = 1.82, 95% CI = 1.22–2.72) were significantly higher in the high-risk compared with low-risk class. Conclusions Chinese university students showed differential risks of myopia and could be subdivided into high- and low-risk clusters based on four behavioral variables.
