“…A medium-firm mattress may be more comfortable because it allows the shoulder and hips to sink in slightly [22]. Bergholdt et al [23] found that the waterbed and the foam mattress seemed superior to the hard mattress, especially when using the probably most relevant "worst case" data. There were no relevant difference between the effects of the water bed and the foam bed.…”

Low back pain (LBP) is a leading cause of disability with high economic and public health consequences. The study objective is to determine the association between sleeping habits and occurrence of lowback pain among craftsmen in Owerri. From April to May, 2012, a cross-sectional survey of randomly selected 500 craft workers was done. Data on sociodemographic characteristics and selected lifestyle were collected using an interviewer semi-structured questionnaire. Data analysis was done using descriptive, inferential statistics of chi square and multiple regressions. The findings of multiple regression analyses showed respondents who sleep on soft/saggy surface were almost 5 times more likely to develop LBP independently compared to those with relatively firm/hard surface (OR = 4.56; CI = 2.62 -7.94; p = 0.001). Craftsmen with unsteady sleeping posture were twice likely to develop LBP (OR=2.10, CI = 1.04 -4.25, p<0.001). Longitudinal study is warranted to further explore the relationship between sleep habits and lowback pain.

“…We assumed that the mattresses might facilitate a better anatomic position because they mould themselves to the exact shape of the body. Another study demonstrated fewer twists from side to side with a polyurethane mattress (Bergholdt et al 2008), which might indicate less-fragmented sleep. However, this was not detected in the present study.…”

Aims and objectives This study aimed to evaluate effects of a non‐pharmacological intervention on sleep, activity and fatigue in patients receiving peritoneal dialysis by the use of both actigraphy registration and self‐assessed questionnaires. Background Insomnia is estimated to affect up to 60% of haemo‐ and peritoneal dialysis patients. It is associated with two common uremic symptoms, pruritus and restless legs syndrome. To our knowledge, no interventions have been evaluated by actigraphy. Design A prospective multiple baseline single‐case experimental design. Methods Two women and seven men with sleep problems, 48–77 years, treated with PD participated in a 17‐week study from January 2009 to February 2011. Two interventions were separately implemented. First, a pressure‐relieving mattress and second, a four week individual sleep hygiene and sleep scheduling intervention. The two interventions were evaluated both objectively by actigraphy and subjectively by questionnaires. Results A total of 315 sleep–wake cycles from nine individuals were evaluated. Three patients improved clinically significantly in five or more of the nine outcomes, i.e. sleep onset latency, nocturnal sleep duration, numbers and duration of napping, movement and fragmentation index, number of steps, metabolic equivalent unit, sleep efficiency and fatigue. The other six patients also showed improvements but to a lesser degree. Physical activity advice was the intervention that yielded most sleep improvements. Conclusions This study illuminates the need for regular assessment of sleep and tiredness. It also demonstrates how a non‐pharmacological treatment and self‐management can be applied with renal supportive care to improve sleep quality. Relevance to clinical practice This study is a clinical example of a non‐pharmacological intervention with supportive care and self‐management. This model can improve health and reduce the pharmacological burden because hypnotics can be replaced by sleep hygiene self‐care activities.

Objectives: To determine if sleep interventions improve pain and sleep in people with osteoarthritis (OA) and/or spinal pain compared to control/placebo. Design: Medline, Embase, AMED, PsycINFO, CENTRAL, CINAHL and PEDro were searched from their inception date to July 2017. Keywords relating to "sleep", "OA", "spinal pain", and "randomized controlled trial (RCT)" were combined. Included RCTs investigated the use of sleep interventions for people with OA and/or spinal pain, and measured at least one sleep and health related outcome. Meta-analyses were performed to pool mean differences for pain and sleep quality. PROSPERO: CRD42016036315. Results: Of 1445 unique records, 24 studies were included. Sixteen studies included participants with spinal pain, seven with OA, and one included a mixed population. Sleep interventions included established sleep interventions (ESI) [cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and pharmacological interventions], and a range of others. Intervention periods ranged from 4 to 10 weeks. Thirteen studies were of moderate to high quality (PEDro ! 6/10). Due to high heterogeneity between studies we also performed subgroup and sensitivity analyses. ESI decreased Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) for people with low back pain (LBP) (pooled mean difference: À6.78/28, 95% confidence interval (95% CI): [À9.47, À4.09], I 2 ¼ 40%) and OA (À2.41, [À4.19, À0.63], 0%). However ESI decreased pain for people with LBP (pooled mean difference: visual analogue scale (VAS) À12.77/100, 95% CI: [À17.57, À7.97], I 2 ¼ 0%), but not OA (À2.32, [À7.18, 2.54], 27%). Conclusion: ESI appeared to improve sleep and pain for people with LBP, and sleep for people with OA. However more vigorous studies need to be conducted.

Abstract: The Waterbed and foam mattress' did influence back symptoms, function and sleep more positively as apposed to the hard mattress, but the differences were small.
