ABSTRACT

Sleep is not only rest but a process of recovering the body and mind for the next day’s normal activities. However, as modern society becomes more complex and diverse, human activity time has naturally been extended, leading to sleeplessness. Therefore, this empirical study aimed to identify the link between the quality of sleep and subjective health, stress, and depression. In this study, the 2018 Korea Community Health Survey (KCHS) was used to analyzed 226,328 participants excluding missing values among the 19 years or older groups. Frequency analysis, chi-squared test, and logistic regression were used to identify the association of subjective health, stress experiences, and depression experiences with subjective sleep quality. The subjective health condition of people who reported very poor quality of sleep was worse than those who reported very good quality of sleep. Moreover, the former experienced more stress and more depression experiences compared with the latter. Our results confirmed that the deterioration of sleep quality can lead to the deterioration of subjective health and mental health. Improving the quality of sleep is an indispensable factor in maintaining and recovering good quality of life and mental health. A nationwide health education campaign is essential to promoting adequate sleep quality. Moreover, sleep quality improvement programs that focus on mental health promotion need to be developed.
