Sleep disturbances are common in Austria, affecting 24.9% of the population, particularly women and older adults. This widespread issue includes poor sleep quality, daytime dysfunction, and increased use of sleeping medication.

Area of Science:

  • Sleep Medicine
  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Understanding sleep patterns is crucial for assessing sleep-related illnesses and societal well-being.
  • Reliable data on sleep habits are needed for public health initiatives.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To collect dependable data on the sleeping habits and sleep disturbances within the Austrian population.
  • To identify demographic factors associated with sleep quality and disturbances.

Main Methods:

  • A prospective, cross-sectional study involving a representative sample of 1049 Austrians (aged 15-82).
  • Data collection through in-home interviews conducted by trained researchers, adhering to federal statistics population characteristics.

Main Results:

  • Men and younger individuals reported significantly better sleep quality compared to women and older individuals, respectively.
  • Women and those over 50 experienced worse subjective sleep quality, reduced sleep efficiency, and increased sleep difficulties.
  • Higher prevalence of sleep disturbances, daytime dysfunction, and hypnotic drug use were observed in women and older populations.

Conclusions:

  • Subjectively disturbed sleep (24.9%), excessive hypnotic drug use (13.0%), and daytime dysfunction (17.4%) are significant public health concerns in Austria.
  • These sleep issues disproportionately affect women and the elderly population.
  • The prevalence of sleep disturbances is projected to rise with increasing life expectancy in Western societies.
