Impact of Sleep Quality on Performance and Well-being among Healthcare Personnel

Sleep quality is a determining factor in the physical, emotional, and cognitive performance of healthcare personnel, whose performance has direct implications for the healthcare provided to the population of Teziutlan, Puebla. This study hypothesizes that poor sleep quality directly affects the work and school performance of healthcare personnel, compromising their daily functioning, concentration, and well-being. Therefore, this research aimed to evaluate sleep quality in healthcare personnel in the region, with the aim of identifying and analyzing the quality of sleep among healthcare workers and students and how it relates to their performance, mood, and the use of substances that affect it. The study was carried out in June 2025, in which, through the application of structured forms with 18 questions and using as a sample 68 participants of active health personnel and in training from different hospitals, clinics, health centers, and institutions in the region, it was revealed that 36.8% of the participants sleep only 6 hours during their workdays, and only 11.8% achieve an optimal rest of 8 hours, which means that when waking up, 55.9% of the staff feel "tired but functional," and only 4.4% feel "very rested and energized," reflecting a general perception of fatigue and accumulated stress. These findings support the need to recognize and implement strategies that prioritize sleep as an integral part of the professional care and training of healthcare personnel.
