INTRODUCTION: Medical students carry a large academic load which could potentially contribute to poor sleep quality, particularly, students living in hostels face many problems which affect their sleep quality, academic records, personal health, and long-term professional capacities.
OBJECTIVES: To determine the frequency and factors affecting normal sleep pattern and compare the poor sleep cycle among hostelites and day scholars.
METHODOLOGY: A comparative cross-sectional study was conducted among students of medical college of Peshawar, from 1st -30th January 2023. The students mean aged 21±1.6 years were included in the study, whereas students with any psychotic disease were excluded.
total of 284 out of 500 from 2nd to 5th year MBBS students filled out the questionnaire as well as the Pittsburgh sleep quality index scale (PSQI). SPSS v25 was used to analyze the data.
RESULTS: There were 284 students in the study, including 142 hostilities and 142 day scholars. Overall, (92.2%) of students reported disrupted sleep, including (55.6%) hostilities and (36.6%) day scholars. Hostel students had significantly higher PSQI values, indicating poorer sleep quality (p = 0.001). Sleep disturbances, such as later bedtime (12:00-3:00am),early rise-time (6:00-8:00am), shorter sleep (45 min-1hr:30 min), non-cooperation from roommates (81.7%), less daily exercise (23.24%), academic stress (51.41%), and being more prone to depression (57.4%) and tiredness (78.9%) and usage of social media at night (73.24%) than day scholars, were reported by a larger proportion of hostilities. However, no gender differences were found.
CONCLUSION: Sleep pattern was found disturbed among hostilities as compare to day scholar and are susceptible to sleep issues.
