Abstract

Objective To investigate the sleep quality of pilots.Methods The sleep quality of 160 pilots was evaluated by Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI).Results Insomnia was found in 18.13% of the pilots. The average score of PSQI was 7.18±3.63. 31.88% of the pilots had sleep problem (PSQI7). Significant differences among the pilots of three groups with different ages (P0.01) were found in the score of the sleep index and five factors of PSQI including sleep quality,hypnagogic time,total sleep time,sleep disorder and daily dysfunction. The sleep problem of the 30～40-year-old group was the most serious.Conclusion The sleep quality of pilots is low and should be highly regarded.
