AVALIAÇÃO DA QUALIDADE DE SONO, SONOLÊNCIA DIURNA E USO DE MEDICAÇÕES PARA INSÔNIA ENTRE ESTUDANTES UNIVERSITÁRIOS

Abstract

University students face a series of challenges during their course and this directly influences their daily sleep quality. This research aims to quantify all aspects involving the sleeping habits of these students and analyze how they affect their academic life. 76 academics were interviewed using Google Forms, asking questions about the habits of these individuals. Each question was analyzed and each statistic was quantified to establish a relationship between them. The study demonstrated as a result that most students have difficulty maintaining a good quality of sleep during extensive curricular activities, and that they often need to use tools to improve this situation, such as substances with caffeine and sleep-inducing medications. Therefore, understanding and facing this challenge are fundamental steps in promoting a healthier and more humanitarian academic environment, which prioritizes the health and safety of these individuals in their training.
