| Summary: | Sleep is a reversible physiological state of decreased consciousness, regulated by the circadian rhythm. Alterations in this rhythm can lead to sleep disorders. Thirty percent of the Mexican population experiences sleep disturbances, which can occur during sleep onset, maintenance, or throughout the sleep-wake cycle. Due to their academic workload, resident physicians often have rest periods of less than seven hours during their training, resulting in poor sleep quality and excessive daytime sleepiness, negatively impacting their academic performance. The results showed a 100% prevalence of poor sleep quality among resident physicians and a 72.72% prevalence of excessive daytime sleepiness. The most frequently consumed substance was coffee, which was consumed excessively by a high percentage of the study population. This highlights the need for institutional strategies focused on reducing workload and creating mandatory sleep schedules and spaces to minimize sleep disturbances among physicians and their consequences. |
