The aim of this study was to investigate whether specific stress-factors correlate with SB-activity. Methods Sixty-nine subjects of which 48 were SB-patients completed three German questionnaires assessing different stress-parameters and stress-coping-strategies Short questionnaire for recognition of stress-factors Kurzer Fragebogen zur Erfassung von Belastungen KFB Questionnaire for recuperation and strain Erholungs-Belastungs-Fragebogen EBF-24 A 3 and the stress-coping questionnaire Stressverarbeitungsfragebogen-78 SVF-78 . The diagnosis of SB was based on the clinical criteria of the American Academy of Sleep Medicine AASM . The degree of SB-activity was measured by the Bruxcore-Bruxism-Monitoring-Device BBMD Bruxcore Boston USA worn for five consecutive nights and analyzed using a computer-based method. Non-parametric Spearman correlation coefficients rho were calculated between the psychometric data and the amount of SB-activity measured by a pixel score of the BBMD. Results Significant correlations were found for daily problems r p trouble at work r fatigue r physical problems r and the coping-strategy escape r all p . Conclusions Within the limitations of this study it could be shown that subjects with high SB-activity tend to feel more stressed at work and in their daily life which in turn might influence their physical state. These subjects also seem to deal with stress in a negative way. However due to the rather low to almost moderate correlation coefficients and the descriptive character of the study further .
