“…This is consistent with some other studies that found a significant association between gender and the poor sleep quality (Cheng et al 2012). The third-year students did, however, have the lowest numerical mean global PSQI score and lowest prevalence of poor sleepers (Cates et al 2015). Furthermore, short sleep appeared to be more common among minority race/ethnic groups, although the association was not significant (Whinnery et al 2014).…”

BackgroundPrevious studies showed that social media is associated with sleep quality. WeChat (a native social media in China) is very popular in China, especially among the youth. In the second quarter of 2016, Tencent’s WeChat had 806 million monthly active users. The study sought to identify the influence of WeChat on the sleep quality among undergraduate students.MethodsA cross-sectional survey adopted a multi-stage stratified sampling survey to investigate undergraduates in Chongqing, China. Data were collected on 1979 eligible adults, aged 20.27 (SD: 1.26) years old, using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to measure sleep quality.ResultsRespondents aged 20.27 ± 1.26 years included 535 (27.0%) males, and 1311 (66.3%) reported as having poor sleep quality. Of the 1979 participants, 1320 (66.70%) were WeChat users. In multivariable analyses, gender, grade, nationality, living costs, the student leader, the only child, type of university, WeChat usage was associated with domains of PSQI among undergraduates (p < 0.05 for all). Compared with non-users, WeChat users had a lower score of subjective quality of sleep, sleep latency, use of sleeping medication, daytime dysfunction, and global PSQI score (p < 0.05 for all).ConclusionsWeChat users may have better sleep quality than non-WeChat users among undergraduates. To determine causal relationships, further longitudinal studies will be required to test for the association between WeChat users and sleep quality. This study may also provide some implications for health promotion on sleep quality of undergraduate students.

“…Cates and colleagues gathered self-reported, anonymous grade-point averages from student pharmacists and administered them the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. 23 The latter authors also discovered widespread poor sleep quality (at a level similar to postpartum mothers with infants), especially for students with lower self-reported GPAs. In the same study, female pharmacy students reported less difficulty with maintaining sleep durations than male students.…”

IntroductionPoor sleep hygiene portends loss of physical and mental stamina. Therefore, maintaining a regular sleep/wake schedule on both weekdays and weekends is highly recommended. However, this advice runs contrary to the habits of university students, who may only experience recovery sleep if they sleep late on weekends. Pharmacy students at Duquesne University sit for frequent examinations, typically commencing at 7:30 AM, and they complain about fatigue. Here, we tested the central hypothesis that longer sleep durations on weekdays and weekends are linked to stronger academic performance in Pharmacy students.MethodsStudents in their first professional year were administered three surveys to collect data on sleep habits and factors that might influence sleep, such as roommates, long commute times, and sleep interruptions. GPAs were collected from the Dean’s office, with permission from the students.ResultsLonger weekend—but not weekday—sleep durations were significantly correlated with higher cumulative GPAs in men and not in women. Women achieved slightly higher cumulative GPAs than men. Students who fell asleep within 15 minutes of going to bed had higher professional-phase GPAs than those who fell asleep after an hour or more.ConclusionOur observations cannot establish causal links, but, given the body of prior evidence on the salutary properties of sleep, men in this cohort may reap benefit from recovery sleep on weekends. Rather than recommending that students force themselves awake early on weekends in an attempt to maintain a consistent sleep routine, the real-life habits of students should be given consideration.

“…Studies of the quality of sleep of Lithuanian students using the Pittsburgh sleep quality index have shown the prevalence of sleep disturbances at institutions of higher education vary somewhat between 58.1 % and 74.1 % (Preišegolavičiūtė et al, 2010;Proškuvienė et al, 2007;Mikaliūkštienė et al, 2012). Studies by researchers in other countries show that between 39 % and 68.6 % of students suffer from poor sleep (Cates et al, 2015;Lopes et al, 2013;Lund et al, 2010). Some authors emphasize there is still a lack of epidemiological information about the association between sleep disturbances and simultaneously evaluated the comorbid relationships of sleep in the general population and in discrete highrisk populations, for example, in groups of college and higher-education students (Veldi et al, 2005;Eller et al, 2006).…”

“…socialinių mokslų studentų. Palyginę gautus miego sutrikimų rezultatus su kitų autorių Lietuvoje ir užsienio šalyse atliktais tyrimais taikydami Pitsburgo miego kokybės indeksą pastebime, kad miego sutrikimų paplitimas yra gana panašus (Preišegolavičiūtė et al, 2010;Proškuvienė ir kt., 2007;Cates et al, 2015;Lund et al, 2010). Tai, kad toks didelis procentas studentų turi miego sutrikimų, gali lemti ir tyrėjų interesas tyrinėti didžiausią riziką turinčius studentus, pavyzdžiui, medicinos, farmacijos, teisės ar ekonomikos specialybių.…”

“…Užsienio autoriai pateikia duomenis, kad blogai miega nuo 39 iki 68,6 proc. studentų (Cates et al, 2015;Lopes et al, 2013;Lund et al, 2010). Kai kurie autoriai akcentuoja, kad vis dar nepakanka epidemiologinės informacijos apie miego ir kitų gretutinių sutrikimų sąsajas bendroje populiacijoje bei atskirose aukštos rizikos grupėse, prie kurių priskirtinos ir kolegijų bei aukštų-jų mokyklų studentų grupės (Veldi et al, 2005;Eller et al, 2006).…”

AnotacijaStraipsnyje aptariama Lietuvos aukštųjų mokyklų studentų miego kokybė ir jos sąsajos su emociniais bei elgesio sunkumais. Pristatomi kitose šalyse atlikti studentų miego kokybės tyrimai, analizuojamas šių sutrikimų paplitimas ir priežastys. Atkreipiamas dėmesys į tai, kad miego sutrikimas tarp universitetų studentų yra gana paplitęs, todėl šios problemos sprendimas reikalauja išskirtinio pedagogų, psichologų ir medikų dėmesio. Tyrime dalyvavo trijų studijų krypčių studentai -medicinos, socialinių mokslų ir menų. Gauti rezultatai patvirtino, kad studijų profilis yra svarbus miego kokybei. Darbe analizuojamos afektinių, nuotaikos, somatinių sutrikimų ir miego kokybės sąsajos, dėmesys kreipiamas į elgesio sunkumų (įskaitant sveikatai nepalankaus elgesio, tokio kaip rūkymas, alkoholio bei kitų psichoaktyvių medžiagų vartojimas) įtaką miego kokybei. Siūlomi tolesnių problemos tyrinėjimų ir diskusijų klausimai. PAGRINDINIAI ŽODŽIAI: studentai, miego kokybė, studijų profilis, emociniai ir elgesio sunkumai. AbstractThis article addresses Lithuanian students' issues of sleep quality associations with emotional and behavioural difficulties. The article reviews students' sleep quality research in other countries, the prevalence and possible causes of students' sleep disturbances. Attention is drawn to the fact that sleep disturbances are fairly common among Lithuanian students and this problem requires an exceptional attention of educators', psychologists' and medical professionals'. The participants of current study were students of three study profiles, i.e. medical, social sciences and arts studies. The results gathered confirmed the importance of study profile to the quality of students' sleep quality. Associations between the affective disorders, mood disorders and somatic complains to the sleep quality were analysed. Also, the influence of behavioural problems, including health-risk behaviours such as tobacco smoking, using an alcohol or other psychoactive substances on the sleep quality is discussed. Questions for further research and consideration are proposed. KEY WORDS: students, sleep quality, study profile, emotional and behavioral difficulties. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.15181/tbb.v74i2.1368 ĮvadasTyrimai rodo, kad miego sutrikimai tarp universitetų studentų yra gana paplitę ir šios problemos sprendimas reikalauja išskirtinio pedagogų, psichologų ir medikų dėmesio. Lietuvos studentų miego kokybė kol kas plačiai netyrinėta, tačiau keliose aukštosiose mokyklose atlikti tyrimai, taikant Pitsburgo miego kokybės indeksą, parodė, kad miego sutrikimai įvairiose aukštosiose mokyklose yra gana paplitęs reiškinys: R. Proškuvienės ir kolegų (2007) duomenimis, jie būdingi 58,1 proc. tirtų studentų, E. Preišegolavičiūtės ir kolegų (2010) atliktame tyri-
