Cover Story: There is a high prevalence of sleep disorders in Japan, posing as a serious factor in a decreased quality of life. The main objective of this study was to clarify the background factors of sleep disorders that affect sleep duration, such as subjective symptoms and working hours. The subjects comprised a total of 3972 men and women from an age group that forms the core of the working population. A univariate analysis between sleep duration (two groups: sleep duration ≥ 6 h and <6 h) and 42 subjective symptoms was carried out.
The results suggest the existence of specific symptoms that may negatively affect sleep duration and point to the importance of emphasizing the self-assessment of sleeping habits as part of the self-monitoring of health in future occupational health. View this paper
