College students are one of the populations affected by this pandemic. In recent months, students have changed their routine due to the COVID-19 pandemic allowing students to adjust their study hours as they no longer have to attend the usual morning classes in the classroom. All of these changes to learning systems and schedules are additional factors in sleep problems, and affect performance. The purpose of this study was to describe the influence of the Covid-19 pandemic on sleep patterns of Yarsi University Medical Students Batch 2020 and 2021.
