Adherence
There is a tentative but consistent increase in occasional and chronic insomnia-related symptoms among working-aged employees in Finland over the last 10 years of the study period, despite stable sleep medication usage rates.
If you are working and feeling more tired or having sleep issues, you are not alone; this is a documented trend in your demographic. However, this does not mean you need medication, as usage rates are stable. Focus on managing work stress and lifestyle factors rather than assuming you need pharmaceutical intervention.
Tentative evidence suggesting an increase in insomnia-related symptoms among working aged population during the last 10 years was found... a more consistent trend of an increasing prevalence was found in occasional insomnia-related symptoms (especially in employees).
Why this rating
Self-reported symptoms; 'tentative' evidence; confounded by cultural factors (coffee consumption).
