Abstract

Working students reported a mean sleep duration of 7.2 hours on weekdays, compared to 8.8 hours for non-working students.

  • Sleepiness ratings indicated that working students were moderately sleepier than non-working students during the week.
  • The mean duration of night awakenings was longer for working students on Tuesdays and Wednesdays (28.2 minutes) compared to Mondays (24.2 minutes).
  • Working students had longer average nap durations on Mondays and Tuesdays (89.9 minutes) than on Fridays and Sundays (31.4 minutes).
  • Sleep efficiency was lower for non-working students on Fridays.
  • Daytime sleepiness among working students was notably higher during evening classes on specific days, particularly on Mondays and Wednesdays.
