Sleep deprivation is a common situation among students and can cause health and learning problems. Graduation is a period in which the individual prepares to become a professional and enter the job market. They have to attend classes, develop projects, complete hours of complementary activities, do internships, among other activities. As a result, the population in higher education, most of whom are young, may experience greater sleep deprivation with a tendency towards excessive sleepiness during the day, resulting in memory problems, reduced school performance, behavioral problems, irritability, tension and anxiety. This makes university students a group that needs attention in relation to their sleep complaints so that prevention and early diagnosis of disorders can take place.
