Background: Maintaining a regular sleep pattern helps to preserve the timing of the body's internal clock and can aid in having a healthy lifestyle. Medical students are a general population sub-group that is more vulnerable to poor sleep quality. Method: A online based cross sectional study conducted to find out the sleep pattern of 264 undergraduate medical students during COVID-19 pandemic situation by using a pre-tested semi-structured questionnaire with Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) sacle. Results: Medical students spent up to 9 hours in digital media (mean 5.1±2.7 hours) per day. Maximum students had gone to bed within 10.01pm-12am but woke up later while 40.2% of students had severe sleep latency and 32.3% students missed their breakfast due to sleep. Mean sleep duration at night was 6.5±1.3 hours but 64.4% of them had poor sleep quality. There 18.9% students had very low habitual sleep efficiency, 28.4% took daytime nap ≥60 minutes regularly, 68.9% students faced daytime dysfunction. Statistically significant associations was found between BMI, physical exercise, smoking, tea/coffee consumption, taking drugs for stress/recreation, wake-up time and different sleep related variables like sleep duration, sleep latency, sleep efficiency, sleep quality (p < 0.05). Conclusion:These results demonstrate that, insufficient sleep and unsatisfactory sleep-wake pattern have been documented among medical students.

“…The study was conducted during the period between October 2019 and December 2019. Taking 64% as the expected prevalence rate of poor sleep quality from a tertiary care teaching hospital in India [ 27 ], at a 95% confidence level, the required sample size was calculated to be 181 to yield a prevalence estimate with 7% precision. Taking into consideration a potential non-response rate estimated as 20%, a total of 221 students were recruited into the study.…”

Objectives This objective of the study was to report the prevalence of internet addiction, sleep quality, depression, anxiety, and stress in undergraduate medical students. Methods A cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study was conducted among 221 undergraduate medical students at Government Doon Medical College, Dehradun, Uttarakhand. Data pertaining to internet addiction, sleep quality, and depressive symptoms were also collected using validated and reliable questionnaires (Young Internet Addiction Test, Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale 21). Results The prevalence of poor sleep quality, severe anxiety, and severe depression was 33.9%, 7.3% and 3.6%, respectively. The place of residence was significantly associated ( p = 0.006) with internet addiction. The mean Young Internet Addiction Test score was higher in students residing in hostels compared with students staying with families. Stress was associated with age. The mean stress score was higher in the age group 17–20 compared with the 21–24 age group. Stress and depression were independent predictors of sleep quality. Conclusion Quality sleep is the key for good health. Based on limited samples, this study showed that poor sleep quality was associated with stress and depression. Hence, continuous counselling is suggested for supporting students managing their stress and depression.

“…This was supported by a study showing poor sleep had significant relation with smoking and caffeine consumption. [15] It has been seen that the cognitive enhancers were being used more by those students who were going through stressful periods or were under any sort of academic pressure or those with psychiatric disorders. [4] Another study found that the quality of sleep was inversely related to, while caffeine consumption was directly related to, stressful periods.…”

Objective: To determine the effects of cognition improvement strategies on academic performance, stress and sleep quality of medical students. Method: The cross-sectional study was conducted att he Dow University of Health Sciences, Karachi, from March 2019 to March 2020, and comprised medical students regardless of gender and academic year. Academic performance was assessed through grade point average, while stress and sleep were assessed using the Perceived Stress Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Data was analysed using SPSS 25. Result: Of the 770 subjects, 748(97%) formed the final sample with mean age 20.32±1.49 years; 619(82.7%) females and 129(17.2%) males. Overall, there were 655(87.6%) consumers of cognitive enhancers and 93(12.4%) non-cunsumers. The mean Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index score of consumers was 6.05±3.306, while that of non-consumers was 5.80±3.701. The respective mean Perceived Stress Scale scores were 21.18±6.09 and 20.5±6.8. There was no significant association of consumption of cognitive enhancers with academic performance and stress levels (p>0.05), but it was significant with sleep quality (p<0.05). Conclusion: Majority of the students were found to be consuming cognitive enhancers, but no significant association of the stimulants was found with either academic performance or stress.
