Insomnia was found in 46.9% of participants, while 15.8% reported nightmares, and 4.8% were at high risk for obstructive sleep apnea. Insomnia significantly affected academic performance, with 8.7% of students with GPAs between 60 and 70% experiencing severe insomnia, compared to just 1.6% of those with GPAs between 91 and 100% (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.012). However, nightmares and obstructive sleep apnea did not significantly impact academic performance. A family history of insomnia and nightmares was linked to a higher likelihood of experiencing them (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.05). The study found no strong association between obstructive sleep apnea and other variables, except regarding sleep duration; 40.7% of high\u2010risk individuals slept less than 6\u2009h versus 24.4% of low\u2010risk individuals (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009=\u20090.019).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Sleep disorders are common among medical students and significantly affect their quality of life and health.
