Abstract

Background: Insomnia is most frequent, under-reported and are often neglected because of lack of awareness of the impact of such condition in our daily life style. This study was therefore con- ducted to determine the prevalence of insomnia and its associated lifestyle factors among attendants of patients of a tertiary care hospital at Visakhapatnam.

Methodology: An institution based descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted from April to July 2018 at a teaching hospi- tal, by face to face interview according to Athens Insomnia Scaleby purposive sampling on a sample of 330 participants.

Results:The prevalence of insomnia was 13.3% with a female pre- ponderance (14.4%). By calculating bivariate and logistic regres- sion, we found that age > 40 years had 2.6 times and currently married had 4.6 times more chances of developing insomnia.

Conclusion: This study found a significant relationship of insom- nia with alcohol, tobacco consumption, married status, overcrowd- ing, non-vegetarian diet, and urban residence. Difficulty in sleep induction and frequent midnight awakeningwere the major com- plaints reported. Further community based studies are recom- mended to investigate the magnitude and the determinants of in- somnia.
