Project overview
This study explored the link between sleep quality and psychological health among 220 Phase II MBBS students at Rohilkhand Medical College, Bareilly. Using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS-42), researchers found that 56.8% of students had poor sleep quality (PSQI ≥5). Among these, a significant number also reported moderate-to-severe levels of depression (49.1%), anxiety (44.7%), and stress (35.6%). Statistical analysis revealed a strong positive correlation between poor sleep and increased psychological distress. The findings highlight how academic pressures and irregular schedules common in medical training contribute to sleep disruption, which in turn is closely tied to emotional instability. The study emphasizes the need for structured interventions like sleep hygiene education, mental health counseling, and stress management programs. Promoting healthy sleep habits could help alleviate psychological strain and support better academic and clinical performance among future healthcare professionals.
