“…Epidemiological studies show similarly high levels of sleep disturbance among young people in general, and university students in particular. In a community-based random sample of young adults (aged 18–29 years), for example, Wong and Fielding [85] report 34% scoring >5 on the PSQI, while both Lund et al [86] and Ye et al [87] found that 60% of university students were similarly classified by the PSQI as poor sleepers. Given such findings, the expectation, a priori, reflected in the sports science literature that “…poor sleep quality would not be likely in a young, healthy athletic population” [67] is not supported by the epidemiological evidence.…”

BackgroundInformation on sleep quality and insomnia symptomatology among elite athletes remains poorly systematised in the sports science and medicine literature. The extent to which performance in elite sport represents a risk for chronic insomnia is unknown.ObjectivesThe purpose of this systematic review was to profile the objective and experienced characteristics of sleep among elite athletes, and to consider relationships between elite sport and insomnia symptomatology.MethodsStudies relating to sleep involving participants described on a pre-defined continuum of ‘eliteness’ were located through a systematic search of four research databases: SPORTDiscus, PubMed, Science Direct and Google Scholar, up to April 2016. Once extracted, studies were categorised as (1) those mainly describing sleep structure/patterns, (2) those mainly describing sleep quality and insomnia symptomatology and (3) those exploring associations between aspects of elite sport and sleep outcomes.ResultsThe search returned 1676 records. Following screening against set criteria, a total of 37 studies were identified. The quality of evidence reviewed was generally low. Pooled sleep quality data revealed high levels of sleep complaints in elite athletes. Three risk factors for sleep disturbance were broadly identified: (1) training, (2) travel and (3) competition.ConclusionWhile acknowledging the limited number of high-quality evidence reviewed, athletes show a high overall prevalence of insomnia symptoms characterised by longer sleep latencies, greater sleep fragmentation, non-restorative sleep, and excessive daytime fatigue. These symptoms show marked inter-sport differences. Two underlying mechanisms are implicated in the mediation of sport-related insomnia symptoms: pre-sleep cognitive arousal and sleep restriction.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1007/s40279-016-0650-6) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.

“…Estudos revelaram que o sono insuficiente, as saídas noturnas e a qualidade do sono influenciavam o desempenho académico de estudantes universitários (Gomes, Tavares, & Pinto de Azevedo, 2011), observando-se diferenças por sexo quanto aos horários de sono-vigília (Gomes, Tavares, & Pinto de Azevedo, 2009), e que os estudantes universitários a estudar fora da sua área de residência, também apresentavam horários de sono-vigília mais tardios durante a semana (Gomes, Tavares, & Pinto de Azevedo, 2008). A qualidade do sono parece ser afetada pelo facto de os estudantes do ensino superior manterem maus hábitos de sono frequentes (e.g., deitarem-se tarde ou privarem-se de sono (Ye, Hutton Johnson, Keane, Manasia, & Gregas, 2015). Acresce que a sonolência diurna se associa à qualidade e quantidade de sono, afetando a saúde geral dos estudantes (i.e., problemas físicos e mentais) ( Rose et al, 2015).…”

Objetivos: O sono ao demonstrar-se fundamental para o desenvolvimento do indivíduo, despertando o interesse em investigar qualidade do sono em estudantes do ensino superior. Assim, pretendeu-se com o presente estudo, caracterizar as componentes da qualidade subjetiva do sono e sonolência excessiva diurna numa amostra de estudantes do ensino superior. Método: Aplicaram-se as versões portuguesas do Índice da qualidade do sono (PSQI-PT) e da Escala de Sonolência excessiva diurna (ESS), em 257 estudantes do ensino superior distribuídos por sete instituições de ensino superior. Resultados: A maioria dos participantes revelou subjetivamente uma má qualidade do sono e referiu dormir mais de sete horas durante a semana, sendo este número maior durante o fim de semana. A perceção da Latência do Sono e da Disfunção Durante o Dia diferiu em função do sexo dos participantes. Os trabalhadores-estudantes mostraram percecionar uma fraca Qualidade Subjetiva do Sono e uma menor Duração do Sono. Encontrou-se uma correlação baixa com significância estatística entre o PSQI-PT e a ESS. Apesar da maioria dos participantes da amostra percecionar uma má qualidade do sono, também a maioria revelou uma eficiência subjetiva do sono superior a 85,0%. Conclusões: Verificou-se que os participantes em estudo avaliaram subjetivamente a qualidade do sono como sendo pobre. Estudos futuros devem explorar possíveis programas de prevenção (i.e., alimentação, TIC, exercício físico) que melhorem a qualidade subjetiva do sono.

“…As Kloss et al (2015) mentioned, "emotions, physical well-being, and cognition could be negatively impacted by a lack of sleep" (p. 1). Ye et al (2015), discovered that "sleep deprivation and irregular sleep schedules, can lead to significant emotional imbalance, fatigue, poor concentration, impaired memory, and generally lower life satisfaction" (p. 88).…”

“…Students need to be more aware of how sleep affects their lifestyle. Ye, Johnson, Keane, Manasia, and Gregas (2015) found that periods of disturbed sleep or lack of sleep were caused by daytime napping. Students, who frequently took longer daytime naps, had decreased drive and attitude.…”

Objective: Poor sleep in college students can attribute to poor academic performance. Poor sleep is detrimental to health; however, adequate sleep is not often seen as a priority. The objective of the study was to better understand college students' sleep habits and determine their perceptions regarding the effects of these sleep habits on quality of life.Methodology: A quantitative, cross-sectional approach with a descriptive design was appropriate for this study. Participants were 122 students, in a Christian college with a population of about 2000 in the mid-western region of the United States. The survey instrument was developed with 6 demographic items and 19 statements using a 4-point Likert-type scale. Data collection occurred in the hallway of the library on two days in the spring semester of 2016.Results: Regarding sleep habits, the average college student keeps their sleep and study spaces separate, they wake up at a regular time every day, they do use technology, such as a cell phone, TV/radio, computer, or iPad before going to sleep, and they have a sleep environment that is quiet and calming. A significant finding was that students did not think extracurricular activities (anything outside of class) negatively affected their sleep.Conclusions: A large percentage of students use technology before bed, which places them at a higher risk for negative quality of life. Students admit to experiencing irregularity in their sleep patterns (M=3.59, on a 4-point scale); however, most participants did not agree that caffeine consumption (M=2.15), extracurricular activities (M=2.25), or daytime naps (M=2.16) contributed to sleep problems.

Abstract: College students who are self-reported frequent, long, and late nappers may have a higher risk of poor nighttime sleep quality and more severe sleep deprivation.
