ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence and sequelae of insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), and comorbid OSA and insomnia (COMISA).METHOD:
In the morning, after a shift end, Midwest career firefighters ( N = 89) in a midsized city completed an electronic battery of questionnaire to screen for OSA, daytime sleepiness, insomnia, presleep arousal, nightmares, mental and physical health symptoms, and a one-night sleep diary.RESULTS:
Prevalence of firefighters exceeding screening thresholds OSA 54%; insomnia 30%; COMISA 17%; four or more nightmares per month 15%. Firefighters who met criteria for COMISA had shorter total sleep time, less restful and worse sleep quality, higher depression and anxiety symptoms, and presleep arousal symptoms than firefighters without self-reported sleep problems.CONCLUSIONS:
Many firefighters are at elevated risk of individual behavioral sleep disorders, COMISA, and daytime dysfunction.
