Sleep quality and visuospatial performance in rotating shifts workers from a petrochemical company

Working rotating shifts may cause poorer sleep quality and, consequently, negatively affect visuospatial performance. However, studies linking sleep and visuospatial perception show conflicting results and are infrequent with regard to shift workers in their working environment. We evaluated the connection between sleep quality and visuospatial perception in 16 workers on rotating shifts from a petrochemical company (aged 29–53 years), using the Rey Complex Figure Test, the Sleep Diary, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Psychomotor Vigilance Test. The PSQI data indicated poor sleep quality. Two of the participants had low visuospatial performance, and reaction time was slower at the end of the night shift. Better sleep quality was associated with better visuospatial performance in the day shift (rho = 0.66, p < 0.05) and on days off. The results suggest that a good sleep quality may be associated with better visuospatial performance.     

Subjective Sleep Quality Exclusively Mediates the Relationship Between Morningness-Eveningness Preference and Self-Perceived Stress Response

Eveningness preference has been associated with lower sleep quality and higher stress response compared with morningness preference. In the current study, female morning (n?=?27) and evening (n?=?28) types completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and were additionally challenged with an arithmetic stress-induction task. Evening types reported lower subjective sleep quality and longer sleep latency than morning types. Furthermore, evening types reported higher self-perceived stress after the task than morning types. Subjective sleep quality fully mediated the relationship between morningness-eveningness preference and stress response. Poor sleep quality may, therefore, contribute to the elevated health risk in evening types. (Author correspondence: karolin.roeser@uni-wuerzburg.de)

Long-Term Impact of Earthquakes on Sleep Quality

Purpose

We investigated the impact of the 6.3 magnitude 2009 L’Aquila (Italy) earthquake on standardized self-report measures of sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, PSQI) and frequency of disruptive nocturnal behaviours (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index-Addendum, PSQI-A) two years after the natural disaster.

Methods

Self-reported sleep quality was assessed in 665 L’Aquila citizens exposed to the earthquake compared with a different sample (n = 754) of L''Aquila citizens tested 24 months before the earthquake. In addition, sleep quality and disruptive nocturnal behaviours (DNB) of people exposed to the traumatic experience were compared with people that in the same period lived in different areas ranging between 40 and 115 km from the earthquake epicenter (n = 3574).

Results

The comparison between L’Aquila citizens before and after the earthquake showed a significant deterioration of sleep quality after the exposure to the trauma. In addition, two years after the earthquake L''Aquila citizens showed the highest PSQI scores and the highest incidence of DNB compared to subjects living in the surroundings. Interestingly, above-the-threshold PSQI scores were found in the participants living within 70 km from the epicenter, while trauma-related DNBs were found in people living in a range of 40 km. Multiple regressions confirmed that proximity to the epicenter is predictive of sleep disturbances and DNB, also suggesting a possible mediating effect of depression on PSQI scores.

Conclusions

The psychological effects of an earthquake may be much more pervasive and long-lasting of its building destruction, lasting for years and involving a much larger population. A reduced sleep quality and an increased frequency of DNB after two years may be a risk factor for the development of depression and posttraumatic stress disorder.     

The Relationship Between Lifestyle Regularity and Subjective Sleep Quality

In previous work we have developed a diary instrument—the Social Rhythm Metric (SRM), which allows the assessment of lifestyle regularity—and a questionnaire instrument—the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), which allows the assessment of subjective sleep quality. The aim of the present study was to explore the relationship between lifestyle regularity and subjective sleep quality. Lifestyle regularity was assessed by both standard (SRM-17) and shortened (SRM-5) metrics; subjective sleep quality was assessed by the PSQI. We hypothesized that high lifestyle regularity would be conducive to better sleep. Both instruments were given to a sample of 100 healthy subjects who were studied as part of a variety of different experiments spanning a 9-yr time frame. Ages ranged from 19 to 49 yr (mean age: 31.2 yr, s.d.: 7.8 yr); there were 48 women and 52 men. SRM scores were derived from a two-week diary. The hypothesis was confirmed. There was a significant (rho=?0.4, p<0.001) correlation between SRM (both metrics) and PSQI, indicating that subjects with higher levels of lifestyle regularity reported fewer sleep problems. This relationship was also supported by a categorical analysis, where the proportion of “poor sleepers” was doubled in the “irregular types” group as compared with the “non-irregular types” group. Thus, there appears to be an association between lifestyle regularity and good sleep, though the direction of causality remains to be tested.     

Psychometric properties and accuracy of the European Portuguese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index in clinical and non-clinical samples

To assess the reliability and validity concerning the formal European Portuguese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index [PSQI (EP)], its accuracy, and optimal cut-off point. N = 564 volunteers (18–80 years old) recruited in several settings (e.g., university campuses; work place; home; sleep consultations), agreed to complete the PSQI (EP). Subgroups completed additional measures: Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), STOP-Bang, Glasgow Sleep Effort Scale, or responded to a supplementary question about perceived sleep problems. As to internal consistency, Cronbach’s α = 0.75. Principal component analysis revealed a unidimensional structure. Six PSQI (EP) components and total scores were able to discriminate individuals who did versus did not describe having any sleep problem; all PSQI (EP) scores were significantly higher (denoting poorer quality) in participants suffering from a sleep disorder. Most Cohen’s d values showed large magnitude associations. PSQI (EP) and ISI scores were highly correlated, but no significant correlations were found considering STOP-Bang. ROC analysis confirmed an optimal cut-off point > 5 of the PSQI (EP) to detect self-reported poor/good sleepers in non-clinical settings. To discriminate non-clinical from clinical sleep patients, the optimal cutoff was > 7, and AUC = 0.94. The European Portuguese version of the PSQI performs as a reliable, valid, and accurate measure of overall sleep quality in Portuguese participants. Furthermore, results suggest that PSQI (EP) can discriminate poor sleepers in non-clinical settings, in addition to demonstrating high clinical accuracy in signaling potential sleep-disorder cases. In conclusion, the PSQI (EP) is a suitable tool to assess general sleep quality in Portuguese participants, both for clinical or non-clinical applications.

     

Subjective sleep quality in noncomplaining elderly subjects: results of a follow-up study

The present study aims at investigating subjective sleep quality and its stability in a sample of not complaining elderly subjects (60 to 85 years). Sleep quality was assessed by means of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). At baseline 91 subjects (46 males and 45 females; age: 66.7+/-5.8 years) completed the PSQI. The follow-up study was performed 16 +/-5 months later (response rate: 82.4 %). In the present sample the PSQI revealed that, in spite of the noncomplaining status, sleep is disturbed (PSQI > 5) in 26.0 % of the male and 34.5 % of the female population. Furthermore, sleep quality does not change systematically over the time course of this study. The mean of intraindividual differences is 0.1+/-2.5. This discrepancy between the subjects' claims of no sleep disturbance and their endorsing of PSQI items indicative of disturbed sleep probably reflects an adaptation in the perception of disturbed sleep.
