Title

Correlation of sleepiness, physical activity and functional outcomes in patients with type II diabetes

English Abstract

Introduction: sleepiness refers to feeling drowsy or an increased tendency to fall asleep and manifests as hypersomnic behaviors and decreased functional outcomes. Sleepiness has Negative effects on healthy life-style behaviors is that while these behaviors such as exercise and physical activity are important for control of diabetes The purpose of this study was to determine sleepiness associated with physical activity and the functional outcome of sleep in patients with type II diabetes. Materials & Methods: In this cross-sectional study 220 diabetic patients were studied that referred to the Diabetes Association of Iran in 2010. Data collection was using questionnaires personal information, Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and Functional Outcomes of Sleep (FOSQ). Findings: The results showed that 33/6 % of participants were sleepy. About 72/6% of samples were sedentary. There was no significant difference between physical activity and sleepiness.57/7 % functional outcomes scores of the total samples were ≥ 67. A significant statistical difference showed between sleepiness and the functional outcomes (P<0/001). Discussion and conclusion: The majority of study samples were not sleepy. The mean scores of the functional outcomes in non-sleepy group were higher than sleepy group. It can be concluded that sleepiness has effect on the functional outcome and sleepy people have lower functional outcome. Therefore lower functional outcome can influence on patient’s life-style and control of disease. Although in this study sleepiness and physical activity did not correlate but physical activity and exercise are important for people’ life, which may be affected by sleepiness. Therefore, sleepiness is important barrier to regulate daily physical activity as part of a healthy lifestyle that required more attention to sleep problems and sleepiness in patients with diabetes.
