“…In the case of having evening naps longer than 30 min, it may be possible that the students fell into slow-wave sleep to reduce homeostatic sleep pressure, which could possibly result in delayed bed time. As sleep progression and quality are affected by environmental conditions such as light [25,26], noise [27,28], bedding [29,30], and body position [31], future studies should ask about those conditions during the evening naps with subjective sleep evaluation.…”

Napping Behaviors and Extracurricular Club Activities in Japanese High School Students: Associations with Daytime Sleep Problems

2019

Although engaging in evening naps and extracurricular activities are popular among Japanese high school students, the associations between these behaviors and daytime sleep problems were unclear. A questionnaire on daily life and sleeping habits was administered to 1314 high school students, aged between 15–17 years. The respondents were categorized by their after-school napping habits (did not nap, napped 1–2 days/week, napped ≥3 days/week), and their extracurricular activities (no activity, cultural club, athletic club). The mean nocturnal sleep duration on weekdays (± standard deviation (SD)) was 390 ± 56 min. This was significantly shorter in those students with a higher number of days/week spent napping (p < 0.001), and slightly longer for those in the athletic club (p < 0.001). Sleep problems—including subjective insufficient sleep, excessive sleepiness during class ≥3 days/week, and falling asleep during class ≥3 days/week—were reported by 64%, 55%, and 33% of respondents, respectively. A multiple logistic regression analysis showed significantly higher risks for excessive sleepiness among students taking naps ≥3 days/week, and who belonged to athletic clubs. In addition to those factors, students in cultural clubs revealed significantly higher risks for falling asleep during classes. Future studies are required to decrease daytime sleep problems associated with evening naps and extracurricular activities among high school students.

“…China and Thailand showed less difference between beds. Shen et al (2012) stated there is an impression that Chinese like to sleep on a harder bed, not a soft mattress, however, in their study they proved that sleeping quality is dependent on many factors and high sleeping quality could be achieved with a softer mattress. China and Germany appreciated the hammock less.…”

Differences and similarities in comfort and discomfort experience in nine countries in Asia, the Americas and Europe

et al. 2020

In order to investigate differences in comfort and discomfort experiences amongst different regions of the world (America, Asia and Europe), a cross cultural study was performed. A questionnaire was sent to participants out in nine countries (Brazil, Canada, the USA, China, Indonesia, Thailand, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands). In total 795 participants completed the questionnaires. All countries score the comfort of a luxurious bed higher than a simple bed, first-class seats higher than economy class and all countries rate the comfort lower when the duration of sitting increases. The study suggests that in the USA and Canada softer beds, hammocks, more luxurious seats and softer pillows are scored as more comfortable compared with the other countries. There are indications that China and Germany prefer a harder mattress than in the other countries. For pillows, the differences between countries are large, which might show that much is influenced by habitude or hesitation to use something new. The Asian countries score the comfort of a brace neck pillow higher, which might be because these participants better realise the benefits better or feel less concerned to wear something that might give the appearance of an orthotic device. Further studies are needed to confirm these suggestions. The study shows that obvious differences are seen in all countries, which makes the construct of comfort internationally comparable.Practitioner summary: In designing and manufacturing globally, it is important to know how different parts of the world experience (dis)comfort. This study did not show large cultural differences amongst nine countries. Some differences emerge regarding pillows, perhaps as differences in sleeping habits play a role.

“…Finski studenti također navode stres kao najveći faktor koji remeti san, dok ističu i kašalj / gripu /druge bolesti, buđenje bez razloga, buđenje zbog fizioloških potreba, zvukove iz okoline i temperaturu okoline [15]. Na kvalitetu sna utječe i madrac na kojem se spava [37]. Tom je stavkom većina studenata u našem istraživanju zadovoljna.…”

Uvod: Spavanje je važan dio našeg svakodnevnog života i vrlo je važno za naše zdravlje. Nedostatak sna u modernom svijetu velik je problem. Mnogi studenti sestrinstva diljem svijeta imaju problema sa spavanjem pa nas je zanimala situacija u Sloveniji. Metode: U istraživanju smo upotrebljavali namjensku metodu uzorkovanja. Podaci su prikupljeni pomoću internetskog upitnika. Anketirali smo studente preddiplomskih studija sestrinstva. Upotrijebili smo Microsoft Excel i Microsoft Word za analizu i grafički prikaz podataka. Rezultati: Studenti smatraju da im je za odmor potrebno 7 – 8 sati sna tijekom noći. Iako 67 % studenata dovoljno spava vikendom / slobodnim danima, situacija je drugačija tijekom tjedna. Ukupno njih 72 % spava manje od preporučenog broja sati. Tijekom vikenda / slobodnih dana studenti zaspe kasnije nego tijekom tjedna i kasnije se probude. Smanjeni broj sati sna predstavlja problem tijekom ispitnih rokova. Većini studenata (34 %) potrebno je do 10 minuta da bi zaspali. Gotovo polovica studenata (48,5 %) ima problema s utonućem u san nekoliko puta mjesečno. Studenti smatraju da na kvalitetu sna najviše utječe stres. Većina studenata (53,4 %) često se osjeća umorno. Više od polovice studenata (55 %) povremeno odluči spavati tijekom dana. Povremene probleme s koncentracijom prijavljuje 55 % studenata. Ukupno 92 % studenata slaže se da kvaliteta i količina sna utječu na raspoloženje tijekom dana. Čak 96 % studenata ima mobilni uređaj u spavaćoj sobi, od kojih ga 88 % upotrebljava prije spavanja. Većina studenata spava na boku (44 %). Većina također navodi zadovoljstvo svojim krevetom (85 %). Zaključak: Važno je da studenti budu svjesni važnosti sna za njihovo zdravlje i akademski uspjeh. Tek tada će moći promijeniti svoje navike spavanja. Studenti sestrinstva budući su radnici smjenskog rada pa je posebno važno da znaju poboljšati svoje navike spavanja.
