This study identified four classes of sleep problems across gender and age groups but with different prevalence rates of sleep problems, suggesting the complex interaction of gender and age in the subtypes of sleep problems. The gender- and age-specific interventions for sleep problems are suggested. Future studies are warranted to replicate these classes and to identify associated factors with each class.
