Resumen

Introduction: Daytime sleepiness is a common occurrence among university students, with significant implications for their academic performance, psychological well-being, and quality of life. Objective: To determine the characteristics associated with daytime sleepiness in university students. Method: A quantitative, descriptive observational study with a non-experimental design. The sample consisted of 385 university students from La Libertad region, Peru, selected by simple random sampling. The Epworth scale was used as the main data collection instrument, complemented by a structured questionnaire to evaluate personal and psychosocial characteristics, with a reliability of 0.894 and validity of 0.901. Results: 43% of students presented a normal level of daytime sleepiness, 39% an abnormal level and 18% an average level. Associated personal characteristics were: additional night study between 3-6 hours (OR=2.43; CI 95%: 1.12–5.27) and sleeping 1-4 hours per day (OR=1.61; CI 95%: 1.25–2.07) (p<0.05). Associated psychosocial characteristics included: high coffee consumption (≥5 cups) (OR=6.58; CI 95%: 1.13–38.31), smoking (1–5 cigarettes) (OR=1.47; CI 95%: 1.84–2.38), alcohol (≥3 drinks) (OR=17.46; CI 95%: 1.41–215.98), energy drinks (≥3 units) (OR=2. 03; CI 95%: 1.75–2.36), electronic device use (5–6 hours) (OR=1.53; CI 95%: 1.99–2.17), frequent insomnia (OR=1.11; CI 95%: 1. 21-1.52), stress (OR=2.68; CI 95%: 1.11–6.47), anxiety (OR=4.55; CI 95%: 1.21–17.09) and depression (OR=3.17; CI 95%: 1.34–7.50) (p<0.05). Conclusion: Daytime sleepiness in university students is associated with both personal and psychosocial characteristics, requiring a comprehensive approach that considers multiple factors for its prevention and effective management. © (2025), (Universidad de Murcia Servicio de Publicaciones).
