Résumé : |
Sleep problems are known to negatively affect cognition, well-being and physical and mental health. Poor sleep is common among autistic children, but little is known about sleep among autistic adults. The few studies examining sleep among autistic adults have focused on young adults and suggest that sleep difficulties continue into adulthood. This study asked 730 autistic people (aged 18–78 years) to complete surveys asking about sleep quality, stress, anxiety and depression symptoms, and other aspects of health and social care. Autistic adults report poor quality sleep overall. Being female, having poor health and higher anxiety are significantly associated with all aspects of poor sleep for autistic people. Stress, psychiatric medication use, and receiving support from government agencies were important for some (but not all) aspects of sleep. It is important to raise awareness of the risk of poor sleep among autistic people of all ages, and of the impact that it can have on well-being. [résumé d'auteurs]
