Abstract: Sleep quality among medical students has been extensively researched due to its implications for academic performance and personal life. Sleep quality is important in mental processes as well as physical and emotional wellbeing, as such poor sleep quality can have an influence on the overall academic performance. The findings of this study could be valuable in enhancing sleep quality that can improve medical students' general health and academic performance. This study aimed to determine the overall sleep quality of 3rd-year preclinical students of FEU-NRMF during COVID-19 pandemic using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Third year medical students from FEU-NRMF were chosen via simple random sampling and were contacted thereafter. 235 participants completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. In total, 330 medical students were contacted, but across the entire sample, 235students were able to compare the questionnaire. Based on the results of the PSQI questionnaire, The Majority of the participants in this study (184/235 or 78.30%) have poor sleep quality, while the remaining students (51/235 or 21.70%) have good sleep quality. This study found that third-year medical students at FEU-NRMF have poor sleep quality, which is linked to predisposing factors as several modifiable factors. This student population would benefit from education and awareness about sleep hygiene techniques and their application. Sleep problems can be addressed early on with appropriate guidance and/or counseling to avoid the long term-impact on public health.
