Popis: Background: This cross-sectional study investigated the association between the sleep quality and mental health among medical students in Himachal Pradesh, India. Methods: Using standardized instruments Pittsburgh sleep quality index and depression anxiety stress scale-21 (PSQI and DASS-21), we assessed 400 medical students. Results: Results revealed that 76.75% of students were poor sleepers (PSQI >5), with a mean global PSQI score of 7.91 ± 3.85. Mental health assessment showed 63% experiencing anxiety, 32% stress, and 27% depression. Multinomial logistic regression revealed significant associations between the sleep latency and mental health outcomes, with increased sleep latency raising odds of depression (22%), anxiety (28%) and stress (35%). Conclusion: Poor sleep especially sleep latency strongly predicted mental health problems among medical students.
