“…While - based on this 30 day retrospective measure of sleep quality - the participants did not report a mean sleep onset of latency that would meet clinical criteria for insomnia (> 30 minutes), the reduction in sleep onset latency was fairly large for this sample of women with breast cancer. Relaxation training, which teaches techniques to decrease anxiety and physiological activation [48], is a common component of interventions that are aimed to improve sleep and fatigue [19], and may be specifically effective in reducing sleep onset insomnia [49]. In follow-up analyses, we showed that increased confidence in one's ability to relax (as measured by the MOCS-R) was associated with reductions in sleep latency among CBSM participants.…”

Background Sleep disruption and fatigue are ubiquitous among cancer patients and is a source of stress that may compromise treatment outcomes. Previously we showed that a cognitive behavioral stress management (CBSM) intervention reduced anxiety and other stress-related processes in women undergoing primary treatment for breast cancer. Purpose This study examined secondary outcomes from a CBSM intervention trial for women with early-stage breast cancer to test if CBSM would improve sleep quality and fatigue among these patients at a single site in Southern Florida. CBSM-related effects have already been demonstrated for indicators of psychosocial adaptation (e.g., general and cancer-related anxiety). Methods Patients were randomized to CBSM (n = 120) or a one-day psychoeducation control group (n = 120). The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Fatigue Symptom Inventory were completed prior to randomization and 6 and 12 months after the baseline assignment. Results In latent growth analyses, women in CBSM reported greater improvements in PSQI sleep quality scores than controls, although there were no significant differences between conditions on PSQI total scores. Women in CBSM also reported greater reductions in fatigue-related daytime interference than controls, though there were no significant differences in changes in fatigue intensity. Changes in sleep quality were associated with changes in fatigue. Conclusions Future work may consider integrating sleep and fatigue content into stress management interventions for women with early-stage breast cancer.

“…[ 29 ] Considering to the fact that one of the causes of mothers sleep disorder is anxiety, the studies of Pawlow and Jones along with the studies of Viens et al . and Morawetz in their research using relaxation exercises had found that relaxation reduces anxiety and stress leading to insomnia and facilitates sleeping and reduces physical and emotional tension;[ 26 30 ] it can be proved that the relaxation in the present study has improved the mothers quality of sleep in this way.…”

“…Indeed, research has highlighted that relaxation strategies are an important requirement in preventing sleep-onset insomnia by reducing anxiety. 41 Therefore, it is plausible that female athletes may have utilized sleep medication to reduce arousal in the absence of relaxation in an attempt to reduce worry or thoughts, and to reduce the latency of sleep onset. It is important to note that sedatives have been shown to be addictive in athlete populations, and they can cause long-term health and performance issues.…”

Objective To evaluate the differences in subjective sleep quality, quantity, and behaviors among male and female elite rugby union athletes through two common sleep questionnaires. Materials and Methods A sample of 38 male and 27 female elite rugby union athletes filled out the Athlete Sleep Behavior Questionnaire (ASBQ) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Global scores and individual items for each questionnaire were compared to assess differences between sexes. Results Male athletes reported significantly longer sleep duration (7 h 50 m ± 50 m versus 7h 12 m ± 58 m respectively; p ≤ 0.01; d = 0.70) and higher habitual sleep efficiency (88% versus 83% respectively; p < 0.05; d = 0.54) when compared with female athletes. Individual items of the ASBQ revealed significant differences between male and female athletes for five questions. Male athletes displayed higher instances of taking stimulants before training or competition and consuming alcohol within 4 hours of going to bed. Conversely, female athletes expressed greater thought or worry while in bed and a higher instance of training late at night. Discussion Male athletes displayed better self-reported sleep quality and quantity than female athletes; however, the present study highlighted that male and female elite rugby union athletes face specific challenges that differ. It appears that the differences observed between male and female elite rugby union athletes may be due to differing levels of professionalism or differences in training or competition schedules.
