Sleep Patterns of Premedical Undergraduate Students: Pilot Study and Protocol Evaluation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Poor sleep hygiene persists in college students today, despite its heavy implications on adolescent development and academic performance. Although sleep patterns in undergraduates have been broadly investigated, no study has exclusively assessed the sleep patterns of premedical undergraduate students.

Methods

An anonymous survey was conducted with premed
