Sleep Disturbances among Persons Who Are Visually Impaired: Survey of Dog Guide Users.
Fouladi, Massoud K.; Moseley, Merrick J.; Jones, Helen S.; Tobin, Michael J.
Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, v92 n7 p522-30 Jul 1998
A survey completed by 1237 adults with severe visual impairments found that 20% described the quality of their sleep as poor or very poor. Exercise was associated with better sleep and depression with poorer sleep. However, visual acuity did not predict sleep quality, casting doubt on the idea that restricted visual input (light) causes sleep disturbance in this population. (Author/DB)
