In developing countries, MSDs are the most common occupational diseases found in 40-95% of lecturers. In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic in Indonesia resulted in the government implementing work from home (WFH) which caused 66.3% of workers to experience musculoskeletal pain. This can be caused by not fulfilling sleep which is a physiological need. It was found that 41.9% of adults experienced sleep disturbances which affected the emergence of MSDs complaints. This study aimed to determine the relationship between sleep quality and musculoskeletal complaints. This is an analytical study using a cross-sectional design towards the lecturers and educational staff at the Faculty of Medicine Universitas Pembangunan Nasional Veteran Jakarta. A sample size of 84 people was taken using the purposive sampling technique. Data were collected online using the PSQI for sleep quality and NMQ for musculoskeletal.

The results of the Fisher test showed a significant relationship between sleep quality and musculoskeletal complaints (p = 0.016; OR = 13.5). Conclusion: The low quality of sleep in lecturers and educational staff increase the risk of developing musculoskeletal disorders.
