Background: Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) is a significant problem that will be discussed in this article, especially among medical students, which is negatively affecting the quality of their lives. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) has been used in this study to assess the prevalence of this issue and encourage healthy and adequate sleep to improve the academic performance of medical students.
