aDue to changes in survey methodology, the PASS 2023 estimates for this indicator should not be compared to those from previous PASS editions.
Measure Description
| Definition | Sleep timing is associated with sleep duration and quality. This indicator captures the percentage of adults who report a usual bedtime between 8:00pm and 12:00am. |
|---|---|
| Data Source | Canadian Community Health Survey - Healthy Living Rapid Response (CCHS RR), Statistics Canada |
| Population | Population aged 18+ years |
| Data Available | Sex, age group (5 year, life-course, adults/older adults), population centre/rural area, household income adequacy, highest level of education (household, respondent), cultural/racial background, Indigenous status, and immigrant status |
| Estimate Calculation | Numerator: Number of adults aged 18+ who reported a usual time falling asleep between 8:00pm and 12:00am. Denominator: Total population, 18+ years. This indicator is based on the CCHS HLV variables HLV_005, HLV_005A, HLV_005B, HLV_015, HLV_015A, and HLV_015B. Respondents were asked "In the past 7 days, what time did you usually fall asleep?" on both "the days you worked / went to school" and "your days off / weekends." Usual time falling asleep was calculated as a weighted average of the time falling asleep on work or school days (assumed 5 days per week) and free days (assumed 2 days per week). |
| Additional Remarks | The CCHS RR 2020 data collection period occurred from January to March 2020. The range for time falling asleep was selected by adding and subtracting 2 hours from the median sleep onset time of 10:00pm. |
