    Sleep problems may have negative effects on work-life balance, overall health, and safety. We aimed to investigate the association between sleep disorders and absenteeism and delay to work (being late or tardy) among the working adult population. The study was conducted by using data from a large survey of working adults who participated in the Turkish Adult Population Epidemiology of Sleep Study (TAPES) managed by Turkish Sleep Medicine Society (TSMS). Secondary analyses was employed to examine absenteeism and delay to work and their associations with sleep problems, including sleepiness by Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), parasomnias, sleep apnea (by Berlin Questionnaire), sleep quality (by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index), and restless leg. History of any absenteeism and delay to work was observed in 276 (18\%) and 443 (29\%) out of 1,533 working adults, respectively. In the multivariate analyses, absenteeism was associated with younger age, female gender and poor sleep quality, while delay to work was associated with younger age, poor sleep quality, parasomnia, and sleepiness. In the presence of absenteeism and delay to work, sleep disorders including sleepiness, poor sleep quality, and parasomnia should be considered. Such evaluation may improve worker well-being and provide some additional benefits in terms of increasing productivity and lowering work-related costs.

    COMPARISON OF SLEEP MACRO- AND MICROSTRUCTURES IN ELDERLY AND MIDDLE-AGED MALE PATIENTS WITH SEVERE OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA: DOES THE DISEASE ERASE DIFFERENCES?

    Introduction: Age-related changes in sleep attract increased attention from researchers and are studied in the context of micro- and macrostructures. Macrostructures include sleep onset, total sleep time, sleep efficiency, wake time after sleep onset, and non-rapid eye movement and rapid eye movement sleep percentages, latencies and durations. Sleep microstructures refer to a cyclic alternating pattern.The present study aims to investigate how sleep structures in older and middle-aged patients are affected by the widespread disease of obstructive sleep apnea. The authors believe that it provide additional information about sleep disorder pathogenesis. Materials and Method: Patients who received a diagnosis of severe sleep apnea were divided into two groups: age >= 65 years old and 35-45 years old. Macro-and microstructural data from polysomnographic investigations were collected and compared. Results: There were no statistically significant differences for total sleep time, sleep efficiency, wake time after sleep onset, rapid eye movement sleep latency and separate percentages of non-rapid eye movement sleep stages N1, N2 and N3. Regarding sleep microstructures, there were no differences between arousal index, cyclic alternating pattern rates, or percentage ratio of phase subtype. Conclusion: The parameters of the macro- and microstructures in the older group are similar to those of the middle-aged group and are also basically similar to the parameters of previous studies
