AI simplified

Abstract

Women who sleep severely short (≤ 5 hours) or severely long (≥ 9 hours) may experience a 1.473 times higher prevalence of dizziness compared to those with optimal sleep (6-8 hours).

  • Severely short and long sleep durations are linked to increased dizziness prevalence.
  • The association between sleep duration and dizziness was significant only in women.
  • In women, the odds ratio for dizziness prevalence was 1.473 for severely short sleep and 1.472 for severely long sleep.
  • Adjusted factors included age and health behaviors like body mass index and smoking habits.
  • Further studies are needed to explore the relationship between dizziness and sleep disorders.
