“…In the USA, for example, the annual costs of poor sleep have been estimated to be as high as US$16 billion in healthcare costs and US$50 billion in lost productivity. 16 In Australia, the costs were estimated to be approximately US$1.8 billion for the health system and US$66.3 billion for financial loss and decreased well-being. [17][18][19] The prevalence of poor SQ was increased during the COVID-19 pandemic period.…”

ObjectiveThis study was conducted to assess the prevalence and risk factors of poor sleep quality (SQ) among the academic staff at the University of Gondar, Northwestern Ethiopia.DesignAn institution-based cross-sectional study was conducted from March to April 2021. A validated, self-administered, standardised Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to quantify the amount of self-reported poor SQ. The collected data were entered into EpiData V.4.6 and analysed using Stata V.14 software. Binary logistic regressions were computed to determine the association between variables. The association was determined using an adjusted OR (AOR) with a 95% CI at a p value of <0.05.SettingThe study was conducted at the University of Gondar, Northwestern Ethiopia.ParticipantsA total of 607 lecturers participated in this study.Outcome measuresThe primary outcome is the prevalence of poor SQ, which was measured using the PSQI.ResultsOverall response rate was 95.60% (N=607). The age of the participants ranges from 21 to 70 with a mean of 32.39 (SD±6.80) years. The magnitude of poor SQ during the COVID-19 pandemic in the last month was 60.30% (95% CI (56.28% to 64.21%)). Working greater than 10 hours per day (AOR=2.19, 95% CI (1.16 to 4.27)), electronic device use before bedtime (AOR=1.53, 95% CI (1.04 to 2.27)), high-risk perception of COVID-19 infections (AOR=1.60, 95% CI (1.04 to 2.46)) and perceived job stress (AOR=2.15 (95% CI (1.50 to 3.08)) were risk factors for poor SQ.ConclusionThe study revealed that the prevalence of poor SQ was high during the COVID-19 pandemic. The finding highlights the importance of optimising the working hours per day, minimising electronic device use before bedtime, promoting risk perception toward COVID-19 infection and developing workplace coping strategies for stress, which play a substantial role in minimising poor SQ.

“…Not only the amount of sleep, but also its quality and course/process affect the life quality and life satisfaction in in many living things. However, sleep problems such as insufficient sleep, insomnia, sleep distress, and poor sleep quality have been reported in almost every country in the world [1][2][3][4] . In fact, according to Chattu et al 1 inadequate sleep is a global issue with major public health implications.…”

“…Though previously considered a part of normative aging [ 1 ], progressive age-associated deteriorations in sleep quantity and quality [ [2] , [3] , [4] , [5] ] have now been recognized as relevant determinants of healthy aging [ 6 ]. Neglect of these sleep-associated abnormalities could lead to age-related co-morbidities [ 7 ] spanning varied adverse health outcomes, including mood disturbances, cognitive impairment, physical effects, immune system dysfunction, and social and public health burden [ 6 , [8] , [9] , [10] ]. Altogether, these health ailments could ultimately affect the overall quality of life of the elderly [ 11 ].…”
