Abstract :Aim: In this study, we aimed to reveal the major parameters and sleeping habits such as sleep onset, duration, frequency of night awakenings on sleep in a healthy active population. Material and Method: This survey study included a total of 1033 volunteer participants, The survey form included demographic data such as age and gender, and questions about the sleep quality and sleep quantity to measure sleep effectiveness via both subjective and objective assessment. In addition, among the questioned conditions, those that could be associated with having night sleep problems were determined with a logistic regression analysis. Results: Of all participants, 38.2% experienced problems related to night sleep. The sleep duration was reported as 8 hours by 31% of the participants. The COVID-19 pandemic affected sleep patterns in 66.9% of the participants. Age insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.007);, gender insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p=0.038);, falling asleep immediately when going to bed at night insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001);, waking up from sleep, even for a short time at night insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001);, time to go to bed to sleep at night insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001); and affected sleep patterns after the COVID-19 pandemic insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(p<0.001); were found as the determinants of sleep effectiveness. Conclusion: The most important determinants of sleep problems were sleep latency, nocturnal awakenings, time to go to bed and affected sleep patterns after the COVID-19 pandemic. This study can be a reference for preparation of programs to increase sleep quality of employees and guidance for further more comprehensive epidemiological studies.
