Resumo: OBJECTIVE: To compare sociodemographic aspects and lifestyle with sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness in medical students at a university in the south of Santa Catarina.METHODS: Cross-sectional study. The sample was composed by medical students of the University of Southern Santa Catarina, located in Tubarão/SC. Sociodemographic data were collected and questionnaires were used: Socio-demographic information and the questionnaires Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS). A bivariate analysis was performed through Tukey's post hoc ANOVA test in relation to the outcome: daytime sleepiness and sleep quality, considered an alpha error of 5%.RESULTS: The sample consisted of 299 students, the majority of whom were women (170, 56.9%), with a median (P25-P75) age of 22 (20-23) years. In the evaluation of lifestyle, the most prevalent results were Good (131; 43.8%) and very good (129; 43.1%); the ESS indicated as the most common finding was Low probability of daytime somnolence (186, 62.2%), and PSQI showed a Bad sleep quality in most cases (221, 73.9%). It was observed a higher daytime sleepiness in women (p<0.05), and good or very good lifestyle was associated with better sleep quality (p<0.05) and less daytime sleepiness (p<0.05).CONCLUSIONS: Although most students have a low probability of daytime sleepiness, the most prevalent sleep quality has been shown to be poor. The woman students were associated to a great probability of daytime sleepiness and lifestyle was related to good sleep quality and less daytime sleepiness.
