Prompt Framing and Evidence Requirement for AI-Generated Educational Responses in Dental Education: Experimental Study.

Generally, estimates of the prevalence of sleep disturbances depend on the criteria used to define sleep disturbances and the population being studied. Approximately 30% of the adult populations of different countries reported one or more symptoms of sleep disturbances, such as difficulty in maintaining or initiating sleep, waking up too early, and in some cases, non-restorative or poor sleep quality []. Furthermore, a study of more than 40,000 senior citizens from eight nations in Asia and Africa revealed an increase in sleep issues []. The prevalence of sleep disruptions among Saudi adults has been estimated to be 33.8%, with the incidence in women being higher than that in men (37.3% vs. 31.4%) []. Lower quality of life, functional impairment, and a higher risk of suicidal behavior are all associated with sleep disturbances. Additionally, evidence suggests that sleep issues may influence the development of depression []. Sleep impairment, insomnia, and other sleep disorders influence physical, emotional, and mental well-being, thus affecting quality of life []. In 2019, a cross-sectional study conducted in Lebanon used the 12-item Short Form (SF-12) Health Survey and found that a family history of insomnia can strongly influence physical quality of life. Additionally, the mental quality of life declines with increasing age []. A study on insomnia in children conducted in Hong Kong showed a strong familial connection between children’s biological parents and insomnia in children, even after adjusting for sociodemographic factors []. A study on adolescent quality of life showed that good sleepers had higher health-related quality of life (HRQoL) than those with poor sleep patterns. Nonetheless, the study showed that sex influences sleep quality: The prevalence of sleep disorder was higher in girls than in boys, which affected their quality of life []. Another study showed that insomnia prevalence in older adults was 62.1%, and was much higher in those with other health issues such as depression and fear of death []. Adolescents appear to be particularly vulnerable to sleep disturbances. In a study involving 855 high school students aged between 14 and 19 years, the average sleep duration was only 7 h and 14 min ± 1 h and 20 min, significantly below recommended levels. Additionally, one study identified a correlation among shorter sleep duration, lower quality of life, and increased depression [].
