Abstract
Adequate amount and good quality of sleep affects both the mental and physical health. Any disturbance in this vital physiological process in turns affect the quality of our work. Objectives: The current study aimed to determine the sleep patterns and other sleep related factors. The current cross-sectional study was conducted on 1000 healthy and randomly selected participants from Jaipur city. Self-recalling and personal interview with the participant was employed for data collection. Data was extracted using Microsoft Excel (2010) spreadsheets. The mean age of the participants was 36.12 + 8.45 years. Results showed maximum sleep latency of greater than one hour in business class participants (53.5%), followed by students. Profession wise distribution of sleep revealed that 87.7% of the house wives slept for 7-8 hr while the duration of sleep was less than 5 hours among 96.4% business professionals. 72.7% housewives described their sleep quality to be perfect in contrast to 12.6% students. Sleep talking was the most commonly encountered type of parasomnia affecting 92% students, 73% service class, 65% business people and 81% housewives. The results of the current study showed a high prevalence of sleep problems among the business professionals followed by the students. Timely identification and appropriate treatment of sleep disorders in these groups may improve life quality in them. Keywords: Sleep disorders, Profession, Workload, Residents of Jaipur
