Comparison of self-reported sleep sufficiency and accelerometer-measured sleep duration in relation to mental health, physical health, and life satisfaction.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Sleep is crucial for health and wellbeing, but different dimensions of sleep may affect health differently. This cross-sectional study explores the associations of self-reported sleep sufficiency and accelerometer-measured sleep duration with mental health, physical health, and life satisfaction.

Materials and methods

Data from 1,022 individuals (age ≥16 years) from the Danish Health and Morbidity Survey in 2023 were used. Mental and physical health were assessed using the SF-12 questionnaire, and life satisfaction with the Cantril Ladder scale. Multiple adjusted linear regression models were used to examine associations separately and in four combined categories: (1) low sufficiency, <7/>9 h (n = 106), (2) low sufficiency, 7-9 h (n = 89), (3) high
