Background and Objective: Sleep is a behavior that is characterized by changes in body position and eye position. Healthy sleep is characterized by sufficient duration, good quality, appropriate and regular timing, and the absence of sleep disorders. Sleep disorders and sleep deprivation increase the risk of various adverse health outcomes, including mood disorders, substance abuse disorders, obesity and diabetes, increased blood pressure, heart disease, and risk of death. Academic and social pressures and irregular schedules of students make them susceptible to sleep disorders. Also, rapid changes in lifestyle and behavior can lead to poor sleep patterns in students. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the quality of sleep and sleepiness in Yasuj Medical Sciences students.
Methods: This descriptive-cross-sectional study was conducted on 177 students of Yasuj University of Medical Sciences in 2025. The data collection tools were the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality index and the Epworth Sleepiness scale, which were completed by the students in the study using a convenience sampling method. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 21 software and through descriptive statistics and inferential statistics tests.
Findings: Of the total number of students studied, 45.8% were male and 54.2% were female, and their average age was 22.22±2.32. The average score of students' sleep quality was 9.69±3.90 and the average score of sleepiness was 7.40±4.28. Also, Pearson correlation test showed that the relationship between sleepiness and sleep quality was 0.341, which was statistically significant (p<0.001). However, this test did not show a correlation between sleepiness and the sub-items "sleep latency" and "sleep efficiency".
Conclusion: This study showed that students at Yasuj University of Medical Sciences had low sleep quality. However, they were generally in a normal state in terms of sleepiness variable. Therefore, it is suggested that necessary measures and attention be taken to improve the sleep quality of students at Yasuj University of Medical Sciences.
