| Resumo: | Academic demands, new social context, new routines and decrease of the parental
control, are factors that may influence the sleep pattern of freshman students at the
University. Medical students from the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte
(UFRN) have a full-time course, subjects with high-level content, and, at the first
semester, classes begin at 7 a.m. This group composed by young adults who still
suffering with delayed sleep phase, common in adolescence, indicating that this
class schedule can be inappropriate at this age. The reduction of nocturnal sleep
during school days, and the attempt to recover sleep on free days – social jet lag
(JLS), suggests that in the first semester, students suffer from high sleep pressure.
High sleep pressure may reflect on cognitive tasks and performance. Therefore, the
aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between sleep pressure and the
academic profile of medical students from the first semester of UFRN, characterizing
this population socio-demographically and investigating possible impacts on therestactivity
rhytm and academic performance. A sample of 88 students, healthy men and
women awswered the following questionnaires: Pittsburgh Sleep Quality (PSQI),
Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), Horne & Ostberg Chronotype (HO), Munich
Chronotype (MCTQ) and “Health and Sleep” adapted. Actigraphy was used during 14
days to make actogramas and obtain non-parametric variables of the rest-activity
rhythm and the grades of the morning schedule were used as academic
performance. The JLS was used as a measure of sleep pressure. Statistics
significance level was 95%. The population was sociodemographic homogeneous.
Most students have healthy lifestyle, practice physical activity, use car to go to the
university and take between 15 and 30 minutes for this route. Regarding CSV, most
were classify as intermediate (38.6%) and evening (32%) chronotypes, needs to nap
during the week, suffer daytime sleepiness and have poor sleep quality. 83% of the
sample has at least 1h JLS, which led us to divide into two groups: Group <2h JLS
(N = 44) and Group ≥ 2h JLS (N = 44). The groups have differences only in
chronotype, showing that most evening individuals have more JLS, however, no
differences were found in relation to sociodemographic aspect, rest-activity rhythm or
academic performance. The homogeneity of the sample was limited to compare the
groups, however, is alarming that students already present in the first half: JLG, poor
sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness, which can be accentuated through
the university years, with the emergence of night shifts and increased academic
demand. Interventionsaddressingthe importance of good sleep habits and the
change of the class start time are strategies aimed to improve student’s health. |
