Abstract

Background
Medical school is a stressful atmosphere. That is why medical students minimize their sleep hours to gain extra time for improved academic achievement.
Aim
The research aimed to assess the prevalence of medical students' sleep quality and psychological stress and their association.
Patients and Methods
This cross-sectional study included 381 Menoufia University medical students from March to May 2022. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and the Kessler Psychological Distress Scale were used to measure medical student stress.
Results
The mean age of the participants was 21.5±2 years and 18.1% were males. There was a statistically significant association (P= 0.01) between a higher incidence of poor sleep quality (49.6%) and stress (91.2%). Students with less stress sleep better, according to logistic regression analysis (odds ratio= 0.504, P <0.01).
Conclusions
There was a statistically significant association between medical students' psychological pressures and poor sleep quality.
