Abstract
Introduction
Sleeping is one of the most important human behaviors, which comprises one-third of human life. Sleeping process is required for proper performance of the brain. It is one of the important cycles of human life, which is repeated regularly and is directly associated with individuals’ activity while being awake. Human sleep is under the influence of various internal and external factors. In addition, sleep quality and quantity are related to individuals’ health status and mortality.
Methods
The study data were collected from Fasa cohort population. At first, people with selected chronic diseases were chosen. Then, they were compared to their peers (People who do not have that disease) with respect to the mean sleep quantity. The effective factors in sleep quantity were explored, as well.
Results
The results indicated that diabetes could affect the quantity of sleep. Accordingly, diabetic patients slept less in comparison to their peers. Individuals with higher education levels also slept less in comparison to others. Changes were also observed in sleep quantity among the individuals who consumed alcohol or were passive smoker, which could affect their health status.
Discussion and Conclusion
By understanding the sleep mechanism and its impact on the body and controlling the effective factors in sleep quantity, physical and mental diseases can be prevented among patients with chronic disorders.
