SUMMARY:

The work context of elementary and higher education teachers presents different conditions, which may cause irregularities in sleep-wake pattern, excessive daytime sleepiness, and poor sleep quality. In this study, we compared the characteristics of work context, sleep knowledge and habits, sleep-wake cycle pattern, sleep quality and daytime sleepiness among 118 elementary school (BS) and 77 higher education (HE) teachers in public education. Participants completed the “Health and Sleep” and the Morningness and Eveningness (MEQ) Questionnaires, Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index, Epworth Sleepiness Scale and Sleep Diary for 10 days. Most of the ES teachers work 2 shifts (morning and afternoon), while in the EB, 1 to 2 shifts prevail, distributed among morning (21.6%), morning and afternoon (26.2%) and afternoon (24.3%); with a predominant weekly workload between 20-40h, being higher in the ES (t =-2.95; p=0.004). The teachers did not differ in bedtimes (t=-1.06, p=0.28) and time in bed (t=0.15, p=0.87) on working days, but the EB got up earlier (t=-3.07, p=0.01) on working and free days (t=- 2.37, p=0.01). Regarding the level of knowledge, the ES presented higher percentages of correct answers on the importance and influence of light on sleep schedules, while the EB, on general aspects about sleep. The EB presented higher levels of daytime sleepiness (t=3.04; p<0.001), without differences in the quality of sleep, which was poor in both groups (t=0.40; p=0.69). Regardless of education level, female gender predicted worse sleep quality (B=1.16; p=0.03), while morning tendency predicted greater irregularities in bedtimes (B=1.07; p=0.04), less daytime sleepiness (B=-0.09; p<0.01) and better sleep quality (B=-0.07; p<0.01). There was a tendency for higher scores on sleep knowledge to predict lower social lag (B=-2.16; p=0.06). Regarding the work context, starting work later predicted greater irregularity in time in bed (B=0.12; p=0.03), while finishing work earlier predicted greater irregularity in getting up times (B=-0.13; p<0.01) and time in bed (B=-0.15; p=0.01). Higher weekly workload predicted greater irregularity in getting up times (B=2.27; p<0.01) and time in bed (B=2.26; p=0.01); and higher number of shifts predicted greater social lag (B=13.66; p<0.01). Therefore, sleep parameters, daytime sleepiness levels and sleep quality of teachers are predicted by biological factors, such as sex and chronotype, and factors related to the work context, such as work schedules, weekly workload, and number of shifts, regardless of educational level.
