Abstract:

The aim of the present study was to estimate the frequency of sleep problems and associated factors. Study with datathe National Health Survey, conducted in 2013 in Brazil. Sleep problems were assessed with the question “How often have you had sleep problems in the last two weeks, such as difficulty falling asleep, frequently waking up at night or sleeping more than usual?” The answers were grouped into: no days, less than half days and more than half days. Of the individuals evaluated, 71.1% reported having no problems with sleep on any day, 14.0% on at least half of days and 14.9% on more than half of days. The highest frequencies of sleep problems were reported by women and with increasing age. For men and women, smoking, alcohol abuse, physical inactivity, sedentary behavior and high blood pressure were significantly associated with the frequency of sleep problems on more than half of days, and also excess weight for women. Thus, the frequency of sleep problems in the Brazilian population was high. Women, older individuals with lifestyle-related risk behaviors, high blood pressure, and overweight were the highest risk subgroups.
