Results: 50% were women and 50% men; their ages between 17 and 26 years. 84.2% have poor sleep quality and 15.8% good quality. 28.3% do not have drowsiness, 47.5% mild drowsiness, 23.3% moderate drowsiness and 0.8 severe drowsiness. 50.8% had good subjective sleep quality, 36.7% had very poor sleep latency, 48.3% had recommended sleep, 40.0% had very good sleep efficiency, 55% had moderate sleep disturbance, 56. 7% never in the last month have used medication to sleep and 43.3% moderate dysfunction during the day.
