Abstract

Objectives: Sub-Saharan Africa represents 1.1 billion people, yet sleep health remains critically understudied in this region. This study characterized multidimensional sleep health among Nigerian adults and examined sociodemographic correlates.

Methods: A cross-sectional survey recruited 1046 Nigerian adults (M = 33.64 ± 9.29 years; 62.4% male; 51.2% rural) via stratified random sampling. The RU-SATED questionnaire v2.0 assessed six sleep health dimensions. Analyses included Pearson's chi-square statistics, Spearman's rho, and t-test for international comparisons with Norway (n = 1028) and the USA (n = 3401).

Results: Mean RU-SATED sleep health was 6.31 ± 2.15, significantly lower than Norway (8.96 ± 2.10, d = 1.25) and USA (7.58 ± 2.35, d = 0.50; both p < .001). Only 16%-22% achieved healthy regularity, efficiency, and duration. Females and urban residents reported better overall sleep health (p = .001). Age was positively correlated with overall sleep health (r = 0.13, p < .001).

Conclusions: Nigerian adults reported suboptimal sleep health, particularly in regularity, efficiency, and duration. Findings highlight the need for contextually tailored interventions and provide baseline data for Sub-Saharan Africa.

超越睡眠时间：在尼日利亚全国招募的成年人样本中多维睡眠健康评估。

目标：撒哈拉以南非洲有11亿人口，但该地区对睡眠健康的研究仍严重不足。这项研究对尼日利亚成年人的多维睡眠健康进行了研究，并检查了社会人口统计学的相关因素。方法：采用横断面分层随机抽样方法，招募尼日利亚成人1046人（M = 33.64±9.29岁，男性62.4%，农村51.2%）。RU-SATED问卷v2.0评估了睡眠健康的六个方面。分析包括皮尔逊卡方统计、斯皮尔曼rho和与挪威（n = 1028）和美国（n = 3401）进行国际比较的t检验。结果：RU-SATED睡眠健康均值为6.31±2.15，显著低于挪威（8.96±2.10,d = 1.25）和美国（7.58±2.35,d = 0.50， p均< 0.001）。只有16%-22%达到了健康的规律性、效率和持续时间。女性和城市居民报告的整体睡眠健康状况更好（p = .001）。年龄与整体睡眠健康呈正相关（r = 0.13, p < 0.001）。结论：尼日利亚成年人报告睡眠健康状况不佳，特别是在规律性、效率和持续时间方面。研究结果强调需要根据具体情况采取有针对性的干预措施，并为撒哈拉以南非洲提供基线数据。
