Perfectionism, which can lead to depression, obsessive\u2010compulsive disorder, and anxiety, can affect the quality of sleep, thereby leading to less productivity. Medical students are more likely to develop sleep\u2010deprived lifestyles, which can be due to the stressful environment of medical school. This study primarily addresses the association between perfectionism among medical students and poor sleep quality. A secondary aim is to study the socio\u2010demographic differences based on gender and academic year.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This analytical and facility\u2010based cross\u2010sectional study was conducted between April and July 2023 at the Faculty of Medicine, University of Khartoum, Sudan. It used two validated questionnaires: the Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (F\u2010MPS) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Data were collected using an online self\u2010administered questionnaire via social media platforms. Data Analysis was performed using SPSS version 21, employing descriptive statistics, univariate analysis, and regression.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Of 233 medical students included in the study, almost 60% of the sample suffered from poor sleep quality. No significant mean differences were observed in gender or age in relation to perfectionism or sleep quality. Only two domains of perfectionism were found to be significantly associated with poor sleep quality: \u201cconcerns over mistakes and doubts of action\u201d and \u201cconcern with parental expectation and evaluation\u201d (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001 for both domains).
