Abstract

This study aims to determine the relationship between sleep quality and the incidence of cephalgia among medical students at X University, Class of 2023. Cephalgia, or headache, is a common neurological disorder influenced by several factors, including poor sleep quality. This study used a cross-sectional analytical design with total sampling involving 139 student respondents. Data were collected using a questionnaire covering questions on sleep quality and cephalgia occurrence. The results showed that most students (56.1%) had poor sleep quality, while 43.9% had good sleep quality. Furthermore, 48.2% of students experienced cephalgia, while 51.8% did not. Bivariate analysis using the chi-square test indicated a significant relationship between sleep quality and the incidence of cephalgia, with a significance value of 0.000 (<0.05). Students with poor sleep quality were more likely to experience cephalgia compared to those with good sleep quality. This study concludes that poor sleep quality is associated with an increased risk of cephalgia. Therefore, students are advised to maintain good sleep patterns to reduce the risk of cephalgia, and educational institutions are expected to promote awareness of sleep quality through education and counseling programs.
