In order to determine sleep disorders, especially insomnia due to exam stress in medical
students, moreover are there any bad effects on performance of mental abilities
and emotional competency, we carried out this research. We used Prospective cohort
study design, involving III and IV grade 60 students, once these grades are most overloaded
courses. The study performed through 2 stages: 1) Just after Final examination
of a block, 2) During regular days, after sleeping well. The aim can be divided into
three main categories, including evaluation of sleep disorders, estimation of brain performances
and emotional competency.
An average sleeping time was 3.67±1.45 hours on final exam day, whereas a main
sleeping time during regular day was 7.88±1.19 hours. As totally 70% of students were
estimated as having insomnia and according to insomnia severity index, 58.3% of them
had subthreshold insomnia, 16.7% of them had moderate insomnia. Furthermore, regarding
to Epworth sleepiness scale, 36.7% of all participants were evaluated as having
mild daytime sleepiness, 13.3% had moderate, and 10% had severe sleepiness, which
was more common in male students. The estimation of emotional competency consists
of self-awareness, managing emotions, motivating oneself, empathy, and social
skill, which were strongly associated with duration of sleep time, as well as, emotion
was more stable in 4th grade students. As comparison between mental performances
of sufficient and insufficient sleep time, main difference of speed 3428±1249, memory
2984±1063, attention 2472±31, flexibility 4525±1184, and problem solving 945±193 scores.
