“…The prevalence data are somewhat lower than prevalence data from other studies of young adult populations (Bixler et al, 1979;Cukrowicz et al, 2006;Hardison et al, 2005;Karacan et al, 1976), which is to be expected considering the use of a more rigorous definition in this study (e.g., Ohayon & Roth, 2003). The differences seen between PWIS and PWOIS were in agreement with those of previous studies (Breslau et al, 1996;Cukrowicz et al, 2006;Vollrath et al, 1989), although this study gives a more accurate assessment of the strength and breadth of this relationship within young adults by using a more rigorous definition of insomnia and a more comprehensive measure of mental health symptomatology.…”

“…College students are also generally physically healthy and represent the majority of the young adult population, as 68% of high school graduates go on to college (U.S. Census Bureau, 2005). As many as 16% to 23% of young adults report insomnia symptoms (Bixler, Vgontzas, Lin, Vela-Bueno, & Kales, 2002;Cukrowicz et al, 2006;Hardison, Neimeyer, & Lichstein, 2005;Karacan et al, 1976), which is comparable to the prevalence in the general population (i.e., 9%-15%; Ohayon & Roth, 2003). Indeed, 7% to 20% of people report their insomnia symptoms started before age 20, and another 11.4% report their symptoms started when they were 21 to 30 years old (Bixler, Kales, Soldatos, Kales, & Healey, 1979;Kales et al, 1984).…”

“…The general sleep (Q6) appears to be less good in our normal population. 20 For such comparisons it is to be noted that several studies 20 ± 26 have shown women and increasing age to be associated with more sleep disturbances in general, and the various studies are not directly comparable in these respects.…”

“…Likewise, the prevalence of excessive daytime sleepiness (corresponding to Q9 in particular) in our normal population was higher than experienced by others. 19,21 Our normal population on the other hand used fewer sleeping pills (Q7), 20 but this may be due to the fact that we only asked for those on prescription. The general sleep (Q6) appears to be less good in our normal population.…”

Sleep disturbances in the spinal cord injured: an epidemiological questionnaire investigation, including a normal population

Study design: Epidemiological review. Objective: To evaluate sleep disturbances in the spinal cord injured. Setting: The Clinic for Para-and Tetraplegia, Hornbñk/Copenhagen, Copenhagen University hospital, Denmark. Methods: All patients admitted with traumatic SCI during the 20-year period 1968 ± 1987 were reviewed. The normal population consisted of 339, 222 men and 117 women. These groups were asked to ®ll in the self-administered Nordic Sleep Questionnaire (NSQ) containing 21 questions. Questions were added regarding employment, smoking, alcohol, co ee or tea consumption, height and weight. The questionnaire for SCI individuals included questions about bladder emptying method, mobility, and spasms. For the SCI population age at injury, cause of injury, neurological level, and functional class were retrieved. Results: Four hundred and eight SCI individuals, 331 men and 77 women, answered the NSQ corresponding to a response rate of 83.8%. Forty-seven per cent had a cervical cord lesion and about half of the population had a complete motor lesion. In comparison with the normal population the SCI individuals had greater di culty in falling asleep, described more frequent awakenings, slept subjectively less well, were more often prescribed sleeping pills, slept more hours, took more and longer naps, and snored more and for more years. In particular, spasms, pain, paraesthesia, and troubles with voiding were claimed to be part of the sleep problems. Conclusion: In spite of the same average age and a higher body mass index in the normal than the SCI population, the SCI individuals showed signi®cantly more sleep problems than the normal population.

Objective-To study correlates of sleep problems in postmenopausal women.Methods-Baseline questionnaire items related to sleep patterns and problems were administered to 98,705 postmenopausal women as part of the Clinical Trial and the Observational Study of the Women's Health Initiative.Results-Less than 27% of the sample reported sleeping 8 hours or more. Many women reported that at least once a week they awoke several times at night (61%), fell asleep during quiet activities (52%), or reported other symptoms suggestive of insomnia or excessive daytime sleepiness. More frequent insomnia problems were reported among women who reported nocturnal sleep longer than the mode of 7 hours, as well as among women who reported very short sleep. Age, ethnicity, hormone replacement therapy, employment, marital status, diet, and season explained remarkably little of the variance in sleep duration or insomnia complaints; however, black women reported sleeping 0.45 hours on average less than whites, with the other minorities being intermediate between these groups. Conclusions-The results suggest that simple abbreviation of sleep and demographic factors may be less important in the sleep complaints of postmenopausal women than other possible factors. Cognitive-behavioral processes, depression, and obesity with apnea may be among the causes. KeywordsSleep; insomnia; depression; menopause; obesity Many national and international surveys have indicated that sleep complaints increase with age, and that insomnia complaints are particularly prevalent among women after menopause.

NIH-PA Author ManuscriptNIH-PA Author Manuscript NIH-PA Author Manuscript among young adults, even among elders who do not complain of insomnia. 8 Brugge et al found that insomnia complaints in women increased sharply close to the time of menopause and were relatively stable after menopause, regardless of the age of onset of menopause, which suggests that menopause rather than age is a determining influence among women. 9 It is surprising that recent U.S. surveys found no excess of insomnia complaints among women older than age 64, partly because insomnia was rather prevalent among young women 10,11 ; this raises the question of whether contemporary changes in sleep habits or the increasing prevalence of hormone replacement therapy might be modifying the long-standing trends.The Women's Health Initiative (WHI) is an ongoing exploration of critical health risks among postmenopausal women. 12 Special efforts have been made to include an ...
