Abstract

Sleep plays a crucial role in maintaining overall well-being. It bolsters memory consolidation, problem-solving, creativity, and emotional regulation by enhancing the brain's ability to integrate, reinforce, and retrieve information. Therefore, 7-8 hours of sleep, depending on age, is vital for optimal health, while sleep deprivation significantly raises the risk of mortality. Chronic lack of sleep and poor sleep quality are linked to a range of mental and physical disorders, including high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, depression, and obesity. However, in the medical field, sleep deprivation is often seen as the norm. The idea that health professionals, such as doctors and nurses, achieve sufficient sleep is almost bizarre. This article will examine the quality of sleep among health professionals using the 'Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index' to assess how sleep impacts their routine, lifestyle, and overall well-being, both mentally and physically.
