Abstract： Objective To study the prevalence of sleep disorders among grass-roots servicemen.Methods The investigation involved questionnaires, direct consultation and targeted surveys. Thirty types of common sleep disorders were included in the survey, and the participants completed the questionnaires under the guidance of the investigator.Results Sleep disorders were prevalent among officers and soldiers .The prevalence of sleep disorders was as follows: insufficient sleep syndrome (41.36%), insomnia (38.42%), snoring(36.62%), nightmare disorder (30.07%), sleep spermatorrhea (29.30%), sleep talking (25.84%), restless leg syndrome (25.11%), sleep muscle cramp syndrome (23.45%), delayed sleep phase syndrome (23.11%), half-awake syndrome (20.28%), sleep hyperhidrosis (15.14%), sleep disorders due to work shift (14.96%), short sleeper(14.66%), nocturnal leg cramps (13.86%), nocturnal bruxism (13.63%), insomnia syndrome (12.50%) jet lag syndrome (11.67%), sleep-related painful erections (10.79%), nocturnal polyuria(9.96%), advanced sleep phase syndrome (8.79%), sleep asphyxia syndrome (8.40%), headache (8.27%) ,sleep apnea syndrome (7.52%), long sleeper (6.79%), night terrors (6.76%), sleep paralysis (6.09%), sleep tachypnea syndrome (6.03%), sleep gastroesophageal reflux (6.02%), sleep abnormal swallowing syndrome (4.50%) and sleep-related laryngospasm (3.07%). Among these thirty types of sleep disorders,the incidence of fifteen types was significantly different between officers and soldiers(P＜0.05～0.01). There were eight types that were more prevalent among soldiers than among officers,while another seven types were more common among soldiers than among officers.Conclusions The prevalence of sleep disorders among officers and soldiers is high, which may affect their daily work, training and combative ability. We should attach great importance to this and take active measures to reduce the prevalence of insomnia and other types of sleep disorders.
