Background- Sleep is a very important physiological process for many restorative functions. For maintaining the body's circadian rhythm sleep is essential. Reduced sleep quality can lead to excessive daytime sleepiness result in impaired daytime function, increased health problem, reduced work performance and impaired quality of life. A cross-sectional study was Methodsconducted among 590 medical undergraduates pursuing medical course. Blood pressure and anthropometric measurements of participants were recorded while Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) study tool was used to assess the sleep quality of medical undergraduates. Out of Results590 medical students, males and females were 60.7% and 39.3% respectively. 51% study subjects had poor sleep quality (PSQI score 5) with the mean global PSQI score of 6.44±1.80. The proportion of poor sleep quality among hypertensive and overweight/ obese medical students were 60.6% and 54% respectively. A statistically signicant association of sleep quality was found with gender (p= 0.033) and hypertension (p=0.027). It was also observed that 164 (27.8%) of study subjects had a sleep latency of more than 30 minutes while 196 (33.2%) had sleep duration less than 6 hours. Sleep efciency of more than 85% was observed among 576 (97.6%) of the study subjects and 542 (91.9%) did not use any sleep medicine during the past 1 month Conclusion: A high prevalence of poor sleep quality was found among medical undergraduate students.
