ABSTRACT

Background: Poor sleep is becoming a growing concern for adults due to its lasting impact on both physical and mental well-being. Due to many individuals having inadequate sleep, there is a worldwide concern about the quality of sleep. Aims: Our article aims to identify the prevalence of poor sleep quality among the adult population in Jeddah and raise awareness regarding the long-term unhealthy consequences of poor sleeping. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted amongst adults aged 18-60 in Jeddah. Participants were selected through convenience sampling. Data collection involved the administration of the internationally standardized Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire to capture sociodemographic indicators and sleep quality. Analyzes were performed using IBM SPSS version 26 using inferential statistics, including chisquare test and logistic regression. Statistical significance was established for p <0.05. Results: Poor sleep quality was reported by 25.38% of participants, with women being (27.5%) more affected than men (21.2%). Logistic regression analysis revealed that gender and age significantly influenced sleep duration (p = 0.006 and p = 0.011) and overall sleep quality (p = 0.015 and p = 0.035, respectively). These findings highlight the importance of age and gender in sleep quality among the study population. Conclusion: Poor sleep quality is common among adults in Jeddah. Women report poor sleep than men. It's important to begin screening for sleep disorders in clinical settings. Early identification and treatment of these issues can prevent long-term health problems and enhance overall quality of life.
