Factors associated with short and long sleep
Abstract
Objective Short (<7 h) and long sleep durations (> or = 9 h) have recently been linked with increased mortality in the US, Europe and Asia, but little is known about the sleep patterns of Australian adults. The present study examined the sleep habits of Australian adults and identified socio-demographic and health-related factors associated with short and long sleep.Methods This study analyzed cross-sectional and self-reported data from 49,405 Australian adults aged 45 to 65 years collected between 2006 and 2008. Socio-demographic and health-related factors were entered into multinomial logistic regression models predicting self-reported sleep duration.Results Short and long sleep were reported by 16.6% and 13.9% of participants respectively. Short sleep was associated with long working hours (odds ratio [OR]=1.17, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.08, 1.28) and obesity (OR=1.29, 95% CI: 1.19, 1.41); long sleep was associated with recent treatment for cancer (OR=1.64, 95% CI: 1.34, 2.02) and heart attack/angina (OR=1.58, 95% CI: 1.19, 2.09).Conclusions Short and long sleep were common in this sample of middle aged Australian adults. The determinants of short sleep have potential public health implications and could be targeted to prevent morbidity and mortality associated with short sleep.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
