Background: Sound sleep is extremely important to maintain good health, especially for youth, as it is the most socio-economically productive age group of any community. Evidence suggests that poor sleep is associated with various physical and mental health problems. The present study aims to find out the quality of sleep, sleep disturbances, and associated risk factors among youth in a rural area of Ujjain.
Methods: Pittsburgh’s sleep quality index (PSQI) questionnaire was used to assess the sleep quality of young adults in the age group of 18-30 years attending health communication centre of a medical college.
Results: Mean PSQI Score of the study participants was 8.37±5.644. PSQI score for females was higher (7.076±5.49 vs 9.258±5.59) than PSQI Score of males. Majority (68.3%) had poor sleep quality but only few (11. 8%) self-rated their sleep quality as poor. Female gender and mobile phone addiction were the risk factors found significantly associated with poor sleep quality.
Conclusions: Poor sleep quality among youth is an important concern as it has health consequences. Lack of self-awareness regarding sleep quality and mobile phone addiction among youth needs educational intervention.
