Article Abstract
To investigate the prevalence and possible determinants of sleep quality and quantity, we used data from a cross-sectional study conducted in 2019 on a sample of 3120 subjects, representative of the general Italian adult population. Sleep dissatisfaction was reported by 14.2% and insufficient sleep (duration) by 29.5% of adults. Sleep dissatisfaction and insufficient sleep were directly related with age (p for trend < 0.001), and inversely related with socioeconomic class (p for trend < 0.001) and income (p for trend < 0.001). Sleep dissatisfaction was higher among women (odds ratio, OR 1.30; 95% confidence interval, CI 1.05-1.60). Insufficient sleep was inversely related to education (p for trend < 0.001) and more frequent in current compared to never smokers (OR 1.32; 95% CI 1.08-1.61). Sleep dissatisfaction was higher among divorced/separated compared with married subjects (OR 1.75; 95% CI 1.20-2.58) and lower among subjects living with children aged 0-14 years (OR 0.48, 95% CI 0.33-0.70). Pet owners more frequently had sleep dissatisfaction (OR 1.35, 95% CI 1.08-1.68) and insufficient sleep (OR 1.46, 95% CI 1.23-1.73). In Italy, self-perceived sleep problems appear to be increasing. Sleep problems can contribute to aggravating health disparities in the society. The unfavourable relationship with pets (and the favourable ones with children) should be confirmed by longitudinal studies.

Background: We aimed to investigate associations between weekday-to-weekend sleep differences and mental health and examine whether the association varies by weekday sleep duration among young adults in South Korea.
Methods: We used the Survey of Korean Youths' Lives, a nationally representative data for young adults aged 19-34 years in South Korea. Weekday-to-weekend sleep differences were calculated by the difference between sleep durations on weekends (or free days) and those on weekdays (or working days).

Background: The prevalence of poor sleep is increasing. Women and men have different sleep needs, and uniquely female life transitions, such as the perinatal period and menopause, are associated with further differences in sleep patterns. In Canada, sleep disparities across socioeconomic groups are profound, but sleep research rarely differentiates between women and men.

Background: Emerging adulthood (aged 18-29 years) is a critical period marked by social, academic, and work transitions. During this life stage, sleep patterns are easily changed, especially for those who live with type 1 diabetes mellitus, which increases the likelihood of sleep disorders.
Objectives: We sought to (1) describe sleep characteristics in emerging adults with type 1 diabetes mellitus in Andalusia, Spain; (2) determine the prevalence of insomnia and hypersomnolence using Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-5) diagnostic criteria; and (3) examine the relationship between sociodemographic factors and diabetes-related factors with sleep satisfaction and symptoms of insomnia and hypersomnolence while controlling for potential confounders such as coexisting health conditions and the use of sleep aids.
