Sleep disorders are a group of conditions that can lead to disturbances in the quality of sleep. They have different physical and mental complications like cardiovascular adverse events and dementia. Different risk factors like age and gender have been identified for these disorders. They can also interfere with the day-to-day activities and quality of life of the patients. In addition, poor sleep quality can lead to more absenteeism and is associated with daytime fatigue.
Between 10% and 30% of adults suffer from obstructive sleep apnea or chronic insomnia. Moreover, insufficient sleep is responsible for $411 billion in the United States annually. Data on the epidemiology of sleep disorders at global, regional, and national levels and their effects on the quality of life of individuals are not sufficient.
This Research Topic aims to compile original research, review, and perspective articles that expand our understanding of the epidemiology, risk factors, and consequences of sleep disorders.
The data on the epidemiology of sleep disorders and their related risk factors are scarce and they are not up to date. Therefore, in this Research Topic, we aim to publish different types of articles on the epidemiology of sleep disorders at different levels and their effects on quality of life. Also, studies that evaluate the relationship between sleep and absenteeism and presenteeism are welcomed.
We welcome scientists in the field to submit their original research, brief research report, commentary, review, systematic review, or mini-review articles that cover (but are not limited to) the following aspects:
1- Global, regional, or national epidemiology of each type of sleep disorders
2- Risk factors of sleep disorders
3- Quality of life of individuals suffering from sleep disorders
4- How to prevent sleep disorders
5- Relationship between sleep and absenteeism and presenteeism
