Introduction

Nigerian adolescents report various sleep disorders

metaphorically based on the local/native description of such disor-

ders. Hence, it is sometimes difficult for clinicians without a good

grasp of the nuance in their description to understand their pre-

sentation.

Aim

To develop a culturally relevant (Nigerian) instrument for

assessing sleep disorders.

Methods

One thousand two hundred and twenty-seven Nige-

rian Secondary School adolescents (634 males and 593 females)

between 12–19 years with mean age of 15.20 (SD = 1.5) were

administered a 44 item instrument developed following the DSM

(V), American Association of Sleep Medicine’s International Classi-

fication of Sleep Disorders (ICSD, 2005) criteria, and case reports of

sleep disorders. The data was subjected to a Principal Component

Analysis using Varimax rotation.

Result

Ten factors instead of the original eleven factors suggested

by the authors emerged in the analysis and on closer examination

and in juxtaposition with cultural nuances, it was found the ten

factors were in line with what is generally reported by adolescents.

Sleep walking disorders and sleep related movement disorders

loaded in one factor labelled sleep movement disorders, while

items representing non restorative sleep experiences, sleep talk-

ing, sleep paralysis, sleep apnea, circadian rhythm sleep disorder,

narcolepsy, insomnia, sleep terror disorder and nightmare disorder

loaded on their individual factors. The SDINQ showed a Cronbach

Alpha of .916 and a good correlation with subscales of the School

Sleep Habits Survey (SSHS).

Conclusions

The SDINQ has been found to be a valid and reliable

instrument for assessing the presence of sleep disorders among

adolescents in Nigeria.

Introduction

Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a sleep disorder

affecting a significant part of general population. Clinically RLS is

characterized by abnormal sensations of irresistible urge to move

legs, becoming worse at night, and frequently causing insom-

nia. Consequences of RLS include daytime dysfunction, depressed

mood, anxiety and decreased quality of life.

Objectives

Determine prevalence of RLS in professional cyclists.

Aims

The aim of this study was to examine the prevalence of RLS

in professional cyclists. According to our knowledge this is the first

research of RLS in professional cyclists.

Methods

A total of 43 professional cyclists were asked to com-

plete 4-item questionnaire based on IRLSSG Diagnostic Criteria

for RLS. Data from questionnaire was compared to antropometric

measurements, epidemiologic data, age of starting trainings and

total years of professional performance.

Results

The results indicated that prevalence of RLS in profes-

sional cyclists is 14% and is higher than expected in this age group.

We found statistically significant relationship between RLS and

age (

P

< 0,001) and years of experience as a professional cyclist

(

P

< 0,001). Results revealedno significant differences between gen-

ders

( Table 1 ).

Conclusions

RLS seems to be a common problem in professional

cyclists. It can affect sport performance. Future efforts to estimate

the influence of RLS on professional sport performance should be

considered.

Introduction

To our knowledge there are no research about the

influence of self-criticism and self-compassion in the occurrence of

insomnia.

Objectives

To study the association between self-criticism, self-

compassion and insomnia on university students; to explore

differences in these associations on two moments of student’s

lives–examination and no examination period.

Aims

We anticipate that the stress and pressure of the examina-

tion period have an impact on student’s sleep and there are, also,

differences by age and gender.

Method

Self-Criticism and Self-Reassurance Scale,

Self-

Compassion Scale,

Pre-Activation Sleep Scale,

Insomnia

Assessment Scale and Anxiety and Depression and Stress Scales

were answered by 160 college students (M= 26.45, SD = 7.98;

range = 19–54 years) during an examination period and by 108

college students during a no examination period (M= 26.34;

SD = 0.43; range = 19–54 years).

Results

In both periods (examination and no examination period)

older students (30–54 years) tended to bemore self-compassionate

and tolerant, such as less self-critical and punitive. During the
