Evaluation of Sleep Patterns and Prevalence of Stress Among Dental Undergraduate Students
57.9% of the students reported poor sleep quality, with many experiencing sleep disturbances such as delayed sleep onset, reduced sleep duration, and daytime sleepiness. PSQI revealed that over half of the participants had poor or very poor sleep quality, while the K10 scale indicated that a significant portion of students experienced moderate to severe psychological distress. The results show that students facing severe psychological distress tend to have worse sleep quality, as evidenced by the statistically significant differences in sleep quality across distress levels.
