Sleep Patterns, Work, and Strain among Young Students in Hospitality and Tourism

Abstract

Objective: Good and sufficient sleep is crucial for a good quality of life. We investigated the associations between sleep patterns, work, and strain among students of hospitality and tourism. Methods: 92 students completed psychological and sleep-related questionnaires, and a sleep/work log for one week. Results: Sleeping hours were inversely correlated with working hours. Decreased sleep quality was associated with increased scores of strain, depression and anxiety. Participants with increased working hours were 3.2 times more likely to report heightened insomnia scores than those with lower weekly working hours. Working on weekends was associated with increased strain with family life and peers. Conclusions: In hospitality and tourism, the employees' 'personal costs' for a 24/7 service may be underestimated; unfavourable work schedules are linked with decreased sleep quality, symptoms of depression, anxiety, and with social problems.

Burnout and Mental Health in Swiss Vocational Students: The Moderating Role of Physical Activity

“…Several indicators on the PSQI assess sleep quality and sleep disturbances. The psychometric properties of the instrument are convincing (Brand, Hermann, Muheim, Beck, & Holsboer‐Trachsler, ). For this study, we selected seven items.…”

Fitness and Exercise as Correlates of Sleep Complaints

“…The underlying rationale for these two dimensions is that dysfunctional, negative cognitions such as continually worrying about not being able to sleep or about unresolved problems are the main factors involved in the development and persistence of sleep problems (14). The FEPS II was chosen owing to its applicability both for insomnia patients and for healthy subjects (6). Both subscales proved to be reliable tools with Cronbach's > coefficients of 0.79 for rumination and 0.81 for focusing.…”
