Characterization data and the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index were collected between March and June 2020 and analyzed descriptively and inferentially. quality of poor sleep was 76.5% among those who work and 75.3% among those who do not work. Difficulty in reconciling personal and academic life (p=0.016;adjOR:3.450) and indicating anxiety due to school activities (p=0.017;adjOR:3.236) increased the chances of poor sleep quality among working students. Satisfaction with health reduced the chances of poor sleep quality, regardless of exercising work activity (p=0.002;adjOR:0.210) or not (p=0.008;adjOR:0.215). students who performed work activities have worse sleep quality due to anxiety and the multiple activities to be reconciled with the study.

Summary

Introduction

Sleep is essential for humans because of its function of physical restoration, conservation, energy and protection. This physiological condition is controlled by a period of drowsiness and wakefulness, and circadian rhythm occurs in the 24 hours and coordinates internal time according to external influences, such as light and darkness. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine and the Sleep Research Society guidelines indicated that adults aged 18 to 60 should have at least seven hours of sleep daily to achieve good quality life[2]. Sleep may vary in quality and proportion of duration, depending on daily activities. Some people may adapt to a small sleep load to perform the cycle; while others, when exposing the multiplicity of tasks, decrease school performance and present metabolic and cardiovascular alterations[3]
