“…Our previous short articles on all participants reported that the program adherence rate was as high as 80% 17 and that self-monitoring tended to improve attendance rate, SOL and SE. 19 It was expected that the effect of the program would vary depending on the sleep condition of participants. Thus, in this study, we limited the participants to poor sleepers with SOL more than 30 min or SE less than 85% and examined the effects of the program.…”

“…Using a weight control version of the same program, we have already reported the long‐term effects of the weight program 16 . We have briefly reported results of a sleep improvement intervention version in 2001 17–19 . These were voluntary participations in the program and were not screened for sleep problems or disorders.…”

This study examined the long-term effects of a brief behavioral intervention for sleep improvement. The program was designed as a complete self-help approach by correspondence, and consisted of self-assessments of sleep-related behavior, target-setting for behavior change, an educational booklet, self-monitoring of the behaviors for one month and reinforcement. The participants of the program at a Japanese worksite replied for a one-year followed up survey. Forty-seven poor sleepers whose sleep onset latency was 30 min or more and/or sleep efficiency was less than 85% were analyzed. Eight sleep parameters and nine sleep-related behaviors were evaluated using questionnaires at baseline, post-intervention and follow-up. At one year, total sleep time increased by 27 min, sleep onset latency shortened by 17.5 min and sleep efficiency improved by 6.9 points. Desirable changes were obtained in 4 sleep-related behavior including not being active before bedtime, not working or watching TV in the bedroom, not oversleeping on holidays and having a relaxed bath time. These results suggest that this brief behavioral intervention could improve sleep quality through the modification of sleep-related behavior.

“…The associations of nPSM practices with SNS help in developing a sleep health education program to obtain good sleep and to prevent excessive SNS among shiftworkers 21) . This program may be carried out at less cost by occupational health staff members without prescribing hypnotics [22][23][24] . The association of job environment with SNS suggests that systematic management of job stress may be a countermeasure against SNS as a result.…”

“…Techniques promoting circadian adaptation (e.g., bright light, physical exercise, and pharmacological aids) have been proposed 13,20) . Although nonpharmacological selfmanagement (nPSM) practices, namely, personal efforts to facilitate better sleep such as exercising, correlate with good sleep among day workers 21,22) , only little evidence is available for shiftworkers. Since the effectiveness of sleep health education for nPSM practices among day workers has been reported 23,24) , similar effectiveness among shiftworkers should be examined.…”

Correlates to Sleepiness on Night Shift among Male Workers Engaged in Three-shift Work in a Chemical Plant: Its Association with Sleep Practice and Job Stress

The purpose of this study was to examine the correlation of sleepiness during night shift (SNS) in male shiftworkers with nonpharmacological self-management (nPSM) practices to facilitate good day sleep, and also with job stress. Sleepiness on the job and possible correlates to SNS among 157 male shiftworkers in a rotating three-shift schedule at a chemical plant were cross-sectionally investigated using a self-administered questionnaire. Multivariate analyses revealed that SNS was positively associated with drinking alcoholic beverages before day sleep, but inversely associated with subjective health status, being of the evening type, abstaining from caffeine before day sleep, having a bath before day sleep, job control, reward from work, feeling suited to the job, and support from colleagues. SNS correlated with certain nPSM practices and also with possible modifiers of job stress. These findings provide clues to developing countermeasures against SNS among shiftworkers. The effects of nPSM practices and job stress management on their day sleep and SNS should be examined in detail.

Both self-monitoring and implementation intentions appear to be promising behaviour change techniques for improving sleep hygiene and sleep. Future research should examine the acceptability of the two behaviour change techniques and the relationship with differential attrition, as well as effect size variations according to behaviour and technique. Researchers should investigate potential additive or interactive effects of the techniques, as they could be utilised in a complementary manner to target different processes in effecting behaviour change.
