Resumen
Introduction: Sleep quality is related to general well-being. Objectives: The study seeks to determine the relationship between sleep quality of UFM medical students and the academic area they study (preclinical or clinical), as well as other parameters such as gender, age, BMI, energy drinks, drugs and time spent on hospital night shifts. Methodology: Descriptive cross-sectional study, using a self-applicable questionnaire constituted by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, answered by UFM medical students. Results: 60.83% and 60.6% of preclinical and clinical students, respectively, complained of poor sleep quality. Sleep quality was not related to the academic area studied, age, gender, body mass index, chronic comorbidities, consumption of energy drinks, use of medications not related to sleep or time performing night shifts. Discussion: More than half of students have poor sleep quality according to the study. However, no relationship was found between the clinical area they course in the career, nor the demographic characteristics, proposing that sleep quality is the product of previous long-term habits and behaviors
