This study attempted to assess sleep quality among medical students and examine the relationship between social network use and sleep quality.
Descriptive cross-sectional study, enrolling medical students of King Abdulaziz University and Batterjee Medical College. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess sleep quality.
Of the 702 medical students who responded to our survey (410 females and 292 males), more than 66% suffered from poor sleep quality. Approximately 92.3% of the surveyed students used electronic devices before they fell asleep, and 88.4% used these devices for social networking purposes. Female students were found to suffer more than male students, and they also reported spending more time on social networking sites before sleeping ( = .006).
This study suggests that students who reported poor sleep spent an average of 64.38 min on social networking sites before sleeping; this duration was negatively associated with medical students' sleep quality.

描述性横断面研究,招募阿卜杜勒阿齐兹国王大学和巴特吉医学院的医学生。采用匹兹堡睡眠质量指数(PSQI)评估睡眠质量。
在702名回复我们调查的医学生中(410名女性和292名男性),超过66%的学生睡眠质量较差。约92.3%的受访学生在入睡之前使用电子设备,88.4%的学生使用这些设备进行社交网络活动。发现女生比男生睡眠质量更差,她们还报告说睡前在社交网站上花费的时间更多(P = 0.006)。
本研究表明,报告睡眠质量差的学生睡前平均在社交网站上花费64.38分钟;这一时长与医学生的睡眠质量呈负相关。
