Sleep habits and psychosomatic health complaints of bank workers in a megacity in Japan

Abstract

SummaryThe relationship between sleep habits and psychosomatic health complaints was investigated by a questionnaire study in 148 bank workers in Tokyo. Daily bedtime was more flexible than daily rising time, and both mean bedtime and rising time tended to be earlier with increasing age. Multiple logistic regression analysis showed that psychosomatic health complaints of sleep disturbances, fatigue, digestive troubles, and depressive mood were significantly associated with sleep habits and perceived mental stress.
