Exercise behavior, sleep habits and time management among students of the Medical University of Lublin.

The aim of the study was to depict and assess patterns of daytime behavior and sleeping habits as well as general daytime management among students of Medical University of Lublin. On examination of 167 third-year medical students (107 women and 60 men, 20 to 29 years old) we found out that the third-year students did not exercise enough. Their sedentary lifestyles resulted from sharing their time between university, libraries and studying medical textbooks at homes. Medical students socialize and spend enough time with their families, and in this way they get family and friends' support, which allows them to manage stress and psychological problems. Most of the students neither watch TV nor play with computers longer than 2 hours per day.
