INTRODUCTION: The US National Sleep Foundation recommends more than 7 hours of
sleep per night for adults. Anaesthesiologists and intensivists (AI) are at high
risk of short sleep time. The aim of this present survey was to assess the sleep
duration of French AI and to identify independent factors related to a sleep time
less than the recommended 7 hours.
METHODS: This prospective observational study was conducted between April and
June 2018 and included 6,210 French AI with night-work obligations. The primary
outcome variable was sleep duration strictly inferior to 7 hours per night. The
covariables included in the multivariable model were selected after the
univariate analysis, with those with a p < 0.05 included in the final model.
RESULTS: Of the 6,210 AI, 3,699 responded to the survey, and 2,483 were included
in the analysis. Of the 2,483 responders, 1,533 (61.7%) reported sleep duration
strictly less than 7 hours per night. After the multivariate analysis, the
following risk factors were independently associated with sleep duration strictly
under 7 hours: age (OR: 1.28 ; IC [1.19 – 1.37]), more than 5 on-call shifts per
month, (OR: 1.41 ; IC [1.30 – 1.50]), active smoking (OR: 1.37 ; IC [1.07 –
1.75]), and screen consultation at bedtime (OR: 1.85 ; IC [1.31 – 2.62]).
CONCLUSION: This study gives a recent overview of sleep time and quality of
French AI. It could be a useful tool for monitoring sleep disorders among the
practitioners and their impact on quality of life.
