Good quality and adequate amount of sleep is necessary for being healthy. Medical students are prone to more stress due to their academic demands. The sleep among students is characterized by inadequate sleeping hours, delayed sleep onset, and mid day nap. Current research aimed to study sleep habits among medical students and to find relationship between sleep habits and stress with academic performance of students. Material and Methods: This cross–sectional study was carried out among 139 medical students of third semester, seventh semester and interns enrolled at Maharaja Agrasen Medical College, Agroha (Dist. Hisar), Haryana. Primary tool in this study was a predesigned and semi-structured questionnaire. Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) was used to assess daytime sleepiness. Collected data was analysed using frequencies, percentages and chi square test. Results: Out of 139 students, 38.8% were considered to have excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS score >10). Female students (43.1%) were found to have more abnormal EDS score as compare to male students(35.1%). Out of total, 70 students secured marks between 60-70 percent in which maximum number of students (61.42%) were stress free during exams and 54% had sleep duration of 7-10 hours. Good health was found to be strongly significant with academic performance of the students. Duration of study hours was found to be significant with academic performance of students. Delayed sleep onset was found to be more in female students (55%). Mid day nap was found in 76.25% of students. Conclusion: The negative effects of sleep difficulties have been well documented. EDS was more in female students. Also, good health had significant association with academic performance so the knowledge of importance of good quality and adequate amount of sleep and its impact on health should be emphasized and translated into practice.
