“…The consumption of coffee or tea at bedtime by university students has been well established in many empirical ventures. 27 The nursing students in the regular track were statistically more inclined to daytime sleepiness. The regular BSN program have a higher credit load and their learning experiences in nursing is novice, compared to their bridging counterparts.…”

“…26 Most studies of sleep among university and nursing students have reported higher levels of sleeplessness among female student, and this has been attributed to their inherent hormonal variations. 27,28 The academic characteristics commonly seen among the students with SEDS were being a nursing student of cohort 2013, and possessing a cumulative GPA between 2 and 3. Medeiros 8 concludes that academic pressure contributes to desynchronized sleep rhythms causing increased daytime sleepiness.…”

“…Increasing clinical hours and intensified course load during the 2nd year of a nursing program has been attributed to higher daytime sleepiness. 27 The nursing students who secures a semester GPA between 2 and 3 is battling between a need to accelerate course load and to prevent backsliding on grades which will increase their student years. In the current study, these students had demonstrated higher mean ESS scores, which had statistically established an association with daytime sleepiness.…”

This study aimed to estimate the prevalence of daytime sleepiness among Omani Nursing Students; determine statistical linking between the personal, academic and sleep related variables of the Omani Nursing Students and their daytime sleepiness scores; and appraise the correlation between the Omani Nursing Students' daytime sleepiness scores and perceived stress scores. Methods: A cross-sectional research design was employed. The Bachelor of Science nursing students, with an active registration status from a renowned university in Oman were included in the study. The Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) were used to assess daytime sleepiness and stress index, respectively. Descriptive statistics, the independent 't' test, and ANOVA were used to summarize the data. Results: The prevalence of daytime sleepiness was 57.4% (ESS > 10). Severe excessive daytime sleepiness (ESS > 16) was estimated at 12%. The nursing students' ESS scores were significantly associated with use of stimulants, program study track, cohort, previous semester GPA, and sleep hours on the day before examination. A weak positive correlation was found between ESS scores and PSS scores. Conclusion: There is a high prevalence of daytime sleepiness among Omani nursing students. There is a need for awareness programs to address daytime sleepiness. Activation of universal preventive programs on sleep hygiene, and healthy sleeping habits among nursing students is to be initiated.

“… 33 A large body of evidence supports the notion that good sleep is important for optimal neurocognitive and psychomotor performance. 34 , 35 Indeed, several studies have demonstrated a directly proportional correlation between suboptimal sleep duration (less than 7–8 h of sleep per night), sleep and wake habits, and poor academic performance. 20 , 36 , 37 Recently, a meta-analytic review of 61 studies from 71 different populations has provided evidence that short-term sleep restriction significantly impacts waking neurocognitive functioning.…”

PurposePoor quality of sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness affect cognitive ability and have a negative impact on the academic performance of medical students. This study aims to determine the prevalence of excessive daytime sleepiness, sleep quality and psychological distress as well as assess their association with low academic performance in this population.Participants and methodsA cross-sectional study was conducted among 457 medical students from the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy of Rabat, Morocco, who completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale to determine the quality of sleep and excessive daytime sleepiness, respectively. Sociodemographic variables and psychological distress (Kessler Psychological Distress Scale) were also measured. Multivariate linear regression was performed in order to evaluate the link between low academic performance and sleep quality after adjusting for other covariates.ResultsAmong the included students, the median age was 20 (19; 21) years; 70.7% of the participants were females. Almost one-third of the students (36.6%) had excessive daytime sleepiness and this was more frequently observed in female students (43% vs 20.1%, <0.001). Furthermore, 58.2% of the students were poor sleepers (PSQI ≥5), while 86.4% of them had psychological distress. The bivariate analysis showed that psychological distress was associated with decreased risk of low performance (ß=0.04; 95% CI=0.005–0.07; P=0.024). Being a poor sleeper was statistically associated with poor academic performance (ß= −0.07; 95% CI=−0.14 to −0.002; P=0.04) in the multivariate analysis. In our study, daytime sleepiness was not statistically associated with academic performance.ConclusionA poor sleep quality determined by PSQI ≥5 was related to poor academic achievement at the end of the study year in medical students.

“…Average sleep duration in nursing students varies among countries: 7 hours in Turkey (10) and 5 hours in Philippines (11),with regional differences in sleep duration among university students in general (12). The percentage of nursing students with short sleep duration was 34-60% (< 7 hours)(7, 13) and 13% (< 6 hours)(9); 11-35% of them had daytime sleepiness (14)(15)(16). More than half (59%) of the nursing students took a nap for longer than 30 minutes (7).…”

Background: Generally, nursing university students struggle with academic work, that consequently bring about delayed bed time, insufficient sleep and worsened daytime functioning. The purpose of the present study is to clarify chronotype and its association with lifestyle, health-related quality of life and academic performance among nursing students.Methods: Self-reported questionnaires were distributed to undergraduate nursing students at six universities. Chronotype was assessed using the morningness-eveningness questionnaire. The generalized linear mixed effect model was utilized to identify the related factors with evening type among female nursing students (n = 447).Results: About 18% of Japanese female nursing students were identified as evening type. Evening type was associated with living alone, part-time job and club activity. Sleep duration on weekdays was shorter, meal time duration was the shortest, and the percentages of students who skipped meals and those who gained body weight were higher in the evening type than in the morning type and intermediate type. Mental health-related quality of life was lower in the intermediate type and evening type than in the morning type, while there was no difference in physical health-related quality of life among chronotype groups. The percentages of the nursing students who have experienced absence, tardiness, falling asleep during class and/or interference with academic achievement were higher in the evening type than in other chronotypes.Conclusions: Education of sleep hygiene and a healthy lifestyle to prevent late sleep-wake rhythm would contribute to improve nursing students’ health-related quality of life / academic performance.
