dc.description.abstractAbstract: Background / Introduction: Sleep quality is important for students’ health, learning, and academic success. This study aimed to assess sleep quality and its association with academic performance among medical students at Napata College in 2026. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 203 medical students selected through proportional stratified sampling. Data were collected using a self-administered questionnaire that included demographic characteristics, academic performance, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and coping strategies. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 26. Chi-square test and Mann–Whitney U test were used, and a p-value of less than 0.05 was considered significant. Results: The mean age of participants was mainly between 18 and 22 years, and most were female and single. Poor sleep quality was found in 70.9% of the students, while only 29.1% had good sleep quality. Sleep quality was not significantly associated with age, gender, GPA, or marital status. However, it showed a statistically significant association with academic year, with poorer sleep more common among students in higher academic years (p = 0.005). The most commonly reported coping strategies were creating a comfortable sleep environment, following a regular sleep schedule, and managing study time to allow enough sleep. Among coping strategies, taking daytime naps and managing study time were significantly associated with sleep quality (p = 0.021 and p = 0.033, respectively). Conclusion: Poor sleep quality was highly prevalent among medical students at Napata College. The findings suggest that academic year and some coping strategies may influence sleep quality. This highlights the need for sleep hygiene awareness and support for medical students, especially those in higher academic years. Keywords: Sleep quality; Academic performance; Medical students; PSQI; Coping strategies.
