Abstract

PSQI scores differed significantly between sleep disorder patients and the general population (p < 0.001).

  • Significant differences were noted in PSQI scores among different variants, with the PSQI reflecting lower sleep quality on workdays compared to other variants.
  • Social jetlag was associated with poorer sleep quality in patients with sleep disorders.
  • Late chronotype individuals exhibited greater differences in sleep quality between workdays and free days, particularly under societal time pressures.
  • Findings suggest that treatment strategies for sleep disorders may need to consider social factors that impact sleep quality.
