Introduction: Many factors influence academic achievement. Identifying these factors and ameliorating associated problems can improve students’ performance. Sleep is one of the main factors that may affect the academic achievement. We conducted this study to assess sleep quality in dental and medical students and its relationship with academic achievement.
Materials and Methods: This Analytic-cross-sectional study was conducted on 96 senior dental and medical students at Guilan University of Medical Sciences in Rasht, Iran, using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index standard questionnaire between December 2021 and March 2022. Data analysis was conducted using SPSS version 28 and Amos version 26 (α=0.05).
Results: Seventy-eight percent of senior year medical students and Seventy-six percent of senior year dental students had poor quality of sleep. No significant correlation was found between the overall sleep quality index and academic achievement in either dental or medical students. However, an inverse relationship was found between academic achievement in dental students and sleep disturbances component of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (P = 0.015). In comparison with dental students, medical students had significantly worse scores in the sleep duration component (P = 0.028) but no difference in overall sleep quality was observed.
Conclusion: While no statistically significant relationship was found between sleep quality of students and their academic achievement, it was noticed that a significant group of both medical and dental students have poor quality of sleep which is unknown to them. Therefore, we recommend sleep counseling during the course of their studies to improve their condition.
