“…They have emphasized the significant difference between students of medicine and students of law and economy and have associated this with the fact that students of medicine spend more time studying, are more worried and are not satisfied with their results, and hence, they study more frequently before going to bed.In a study by Sweileh et al [27] conducted on sleep habits and sleep problems among Palestinian students, sleep quality has been found "bad" with 9.8%, and a significant relation was found between sleep latency, the frequency of awakening at night and nightmares regarding academic success. Rocha et al [28] have investigated sleep disorders in high school and university students and applied the PSQI questionnaire to 529 students (m: 241; f: 288), between the ages of 16 and 19, attending to three state schools, private schools and two university preparation schools, in a middle-class neighborhood in Sao Paolo. They have shown that sleep disorders and weak sleep quality were present in the study group.…”

“…As to Brazil, the role of free universal access to treatment and integral care is noteworthy, including instruments of social support 9 . With regard to healthy adolescents, a number of recent studies carried out in Brazil have shown high prevalence of sleep disturbances in children and adolescents, associated with both clinical aspects and lifestyle, such as poor sleep hygiene and sleep deprivation 12,13,21 . Additionally, the adolescents in the Control Group, drawn from users of public schools in large urban centers, had very similar social indicators to those infected by HIV, which could reflect comparable living conditions.…”

“…The only systematic review available in the literature, although based only on adult studies, also stresses the importance of studying the relationship between HIV infection, social functioning, and quality of life 11 . The importance of the relationship between quality of sleep and social and cultural issues has been demonstrated in recent reports from Brazilian adolescents 12,13 . Based on these assumptions, we hypothesized that the quality of sleep of HIVinfected Brazilian adolescents probably bears an association with social and cultural issues, specifically the quality of life, which can be measured by validated instruments 14 .…”

“…Svarbu atsakyti į klausimus: ar miego sutrikimus galima atpažinti jau universitetinių studijų pradžioje, su kokiais sunkumais studentai ateina į aukštąsias mokyklas, kokie svarbūs miego kokybės pokyčiai įvyksta studijuojant? Negausūs longitudiniai tyrimai rodo, kad net studijų pasirinkimo laikotarpiu jaunuoliai susiduria su konkurencija, baime ir nerimu, kurie gali lemti miego sutrikimus (Rocha et al, 2010). Taigi studentų miego tyrimams būtų naudinga tęstinio, ilgalaikio tyrimo strategija.…”
