| Abstract |
This paper reviews 24 studies on sleep disorders among the Japanese working population, 13 for non-shift and 11 for shift workers. The prevalence of insomnia and other sleep disturbances varied from 5 to 45% for non-shift and from 29 to 38% for shift workers. Poor sleep quality was related to state of health, occupational activities and social factors. Risk factors of poor sleep include hypertension, lifestyle behaviours (diet, alcohol and tobacco consumption), job-related conditions (job stress, social support, job dissatisfaction, workload, shift schedules) and depressed mood. |
