“…As the relationship between sleep duration and mental health is non-linear, with both short and long sleep duration being associated with worse outcomes, 29 sleep duration was then converted to a four-category variable (< 6 h, ≥ 6 to < 7 h, ≥ 7 to < 8 h, ≥ 8 h). These cut-offs were selected as typically sleep duration of < 6 h is categorized as short, 5,10,19 the range for normal sleep duration varies between 6-8 hours, 5,10 and splitting within this range allows for possible differences in strength of associations. For analyses ≥ 7 to < 8 h sleep duration was set as the reference group, as this group had the lowest prevalence of chronic mental health symptoms.…”

“…The treatment of multiple-level categorical variables in regression analyses would not allow all possible categories to be compared. Therefore, as in previous studies, 10 we also created a categorical variable with 6 groups defined by combinations of insomnia symptoms and sleep duration (categories in Table 4). For this analysis, sleep duration of < 6 h or ≥ 6 to < 7 h were defined as "short sleep duration".…”

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6] Sleep disturbance is a multidimensional concept, comprised of such phenomena as insomnia symptoms, sleep duration, and sleep schedule/timing. 7 Recent research has explored how these sleep disturbance dimensions combine to predict mental health incidence and prevalence, [7][8][9][10][11] with a particular focus on the combination of insomnia symptoms and short sleep duration.…”

Objectives: Evaluate whether insomnia symptoms and short or long sleep duration, alone or in combination, are robustly associated with subsequent trajectory of mental health symptoms. Methods: Participants were 2,598 individuals (15-to-94 years of age) with elevated mental health symptoms at baseline (2013-14). Associations of baseline insomnia symptoms and sleep duration with two-year trajectory of mental health were estimated and adjusted for multiple potential confounders. Outcomes included recovery (well at both follow-up timepoints), intermittent symptoms (unwell at one follow-up timepoint), and chronic symptoms (unwell at each follow-up timepoint). Results: Adjusted for age and sex, baseline insomnia symptoms predicted intermittent (OR 1.43, 95% CI 1.15-1.80) and chronic (OR 2.16, 95% CI 1.77-2.68) trajectories of mental health symptoms. Short sleep duration (<6h and ≥6 to <7h) only predicted a chronic trajectory (ORs 1.70-2.06). Associations were attenuated but significant after confounder adjustment. Those who experienced both insomnia and short (<7h) sleep duration had the greatest risk of chronic mental health symptoms (OR 2.35, 95% CI 1.60-3.45). Conclusion: A focus on just sleep duration or insomnia symptoms in those with elevated mental health symptoms will not be adequate to address chronicity. Both components of sleep disturbance, and in particular their co-occurrence, should be addressed.

“…These findings of improved duration and quality of sleep after retirement are important, as by understanding how retirement affects sleep and who benefit most of retirement, it may be possible to promote positive changes in sleep before and after retirement as well. Improvements in sleep may also translate into better daily functioning [ 31 , 32 •] and quality of life [ 33 , 34 ]. In fact, retirement has been associated with both decreases in mental and physical fatigue [ 35 ] and improved self-rated health [ 27 ].…”

Purpose of ReviewIn this review, we focus on the association of sleep and retirement from two perspectives. Firstly, we examine the role of sleep during the working years on retirement timing. Secondly, we examine how sleep changes during the transition to retirement.Recent FindingsPersons with sleep difficulties are more likely to retire due to health problems, such as depression and musculoskeletal disorders. Retirement, on the other hand, is associated with both increased sleep duration and decreased sleep difficulties, mainly premature awakenings and nonrestorative sleep.SummaryPromotion of sleep quantity and quality could be a potential way to support employees’ work ability and possibly even to postpone retirement, at least in relation to early retirement. Possible proposed mechanisms for the improved sleep after retirement include removal of work stress and increased flexibility in time use, which could be targeted in attempt to promote adequate and good quality of sleep already during the working years.

“…This helps confirm if trajectories in physical and mental health functioning, and their determinants, also vary. Additionally, behavioural factors such as binge drinking, smoking, obesity and poor sleep have been shown to contribute to health functioning,11 22 23 and could be assumed to contribute to memberships to the distinct trajectory groups.…”

ObjectivesThe determinants of poor functioning and subsequent early exit from work are well established but very little is known about the positive determinants of maintaining good functioning among the ageing workforce. We investigated modifiable determinants of maintaining good mental and physical health functioning.MethodsWe used prospective survey data collected across four waves among the midlife employees of the City of Helsinki, Finland, 2000–2017 (n=3342). Health functioning was repeatedly measured using the Short Form 36 (SF-36) inventory. Trajectories of mental and physical health functioning were separately examined using group-based trajectory analysis. Multinomial logistic regression models were fitted to examine determinants of each trajectory.ResultsFour trajectory solutions for the developmental patterns in health functioning during the follow-up period were selected, with a slightly different shape of the first trajectory for mental and physical functioning: (1) continuously low (mental), low and decreasing (physical), (2) increasing, (3) decreasing and (4) continuously high functioning. After adjustments, the employees in the continuously high mental health functioning group were more likely to have optimal job demands, high job control, no sleep problems and no binge drinking behaviour. Employees in the continuously high physical functioning group had more likely low levels of physically strenuous work and hazardous working environment and no sleep problems and normal weight.ConclusionHigh job control, good sleep and avoiding binge drinking may help maintain good mental health functioning. Low levels of physical or environmental work exposures, good sleep and recommended healthy weight may support maintenance of good physical health functioning among ageing employees.
