Prevalence rates of frequent dream recall and nightmares by age, gender and sle...
Bolstad, Courtney J.; Bjorvatn, Bjørn; Chan, Ngan Yin; Chung, Frances; Dauvilliers, Yves; De Gennaro, Luigi; Espie, Colin A.; Holzinger, BrigitteThe present study aimed to describe the prevalence rates of frequent (i.e., at least weekly) dream recall and nightmares with consideration for differences in age, gender and sleep duration in 16 countries using equivalent assessment methods. The study sample included 15,854 participants (69.9% women) aged 18–99 years (M = 42.39, SD = 16.43) collected by the International COVID-19 Sleep Study collaboration, whi...
Estimation bias and agreement limits between two common self-report methods of ...
Korman, Maria; Zarina, Daria; Tkachev, Vadim; Merikanto, Ilona; Bjorvatn, Bjørn; Bjelajac, Adrijana Koscec; Penzel, Thomas; Landtblom, Anne MarieAccurate measurement of habitual sleep duration (HSD) is crucial for understanding the relationship between sleep and health. This study aimed to assess the bias and agreement limits between two commonly used short HSD self-report methods, considering sleep quality (SQ) and social jetlag (SJL) as potential predictors of bias. Data from 10,268 participants in the International COVID Sleep Study-II (ICOSS-II) wer...
Habitual short sleepers with pre-existing medical conditions are at higher risk...
Berezin, Linor; Waseem, Rida; Merikanto, Ilona; Benedict, Christian; Holzinger, Brigitte; De Gennaro, Luigi; Wing, Yun Kwok; Bjorvatn, BjørnStudy objectives: Preliminary evidence suggests that the risk of Long COVID is higher among people with pre-existing medical conditions. Based on its proven adjuvant role in immunity, habitual sleep duration may alter the risk of developing Long COVID. The objective of this study was to determine whether the odds of Long COVID are higher among those with pre-existing medical conditions, and whether the strength...
Persistent short nighttime sleep duration is associated with a greater post-COV...
Xue, Pei; Merikanto, Ilona; Chung, Frances; Morin, Charles M.; Espie, Colin; Bjorvatn, Bjørn; Cedernaes, Jonathan; Landtblom, Anne Marie; Penzel, ThomasShort nighttime sleep duration impairs the immune response to virus vaccination, and long nighttime sleep duration is associated with poor health status. Thus, we hypothesized that short (<6 h) and long (>9 h) nighttime sleepers have a higher post-COVID risk than normal nighttime sleepers, despite two doses of mRNA vaccine (which has previously been linked to lower odds of long-lasting COVID-19 symptoms). Post-...
Associations between changes in habitual sleep duration and lower self-rated he...
Matsui, Kentaro; Chung, Frances; Bjelajac, Adrijana Koscec; Merikanto, Ilona; Korman, Maria; Mota-Rolim, Sérgio; Cunha, Ana Suely; Bjorvatn, BjørnBackground: Self-rated health (SRH) is widely recognized as a clinically significant predictor of subsequent mortality risk. Although COVID-19 may impair SRH, this relationship has not been extensively examined. The present study aimed to examine the correlation between habitual sleep duration, changes in sleep duration after infection, and SRH in subjects who have experienced SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods: Par...
