Background: Social inequalities in sleep have been reported, but there is less research on the mechanisms underlying this association. This study investigates the relationship between financial hardship and sleep within the general adult population, focusing on the mediating effects of psychosocial and lifestyle-related factors.
Methods: We used data from the Specchio cohort, a population-based study in Geneva, Switzerland, initiated in December 2020.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the effects of using media before bedtime on sleep quality and patterns in adults, considering factors like age, mental health, and other behaviors.
- Data was collected from over 4,000 adults and revealed that using screens before sleep is linked to later bedtimes, shorter sleep durations, and increased daytime sleepiness.
- The research found that younger adults and those with better mental health are more affected by bedtime media use, suggesting that reducing screen time at night is essential for improving sleep among all adults, particularly those with mental health challenges.
Objectives: After more than 20 years of work, the World Health Organization's efforts have culminated in the adoption of the 11th revision of the International Classification of Diseases (ICD-11). The process has been guided by the principles of global applicability, scientific validity, and clinical utility. The update of the chapter on mental, behavioral, and neurodevelopmental disorders (MBND) within the ICD-11 has generated widespread interest worldwide.
