• Abstract:

  Maintaining good sleep hygiene is of paramount importance for preserving the physical and psychological integrity of human beings. However, according to Summit Saúde (2021), about 65% of Brazilians have problems sleeping or staying in a state of sleep for an adequate time, characterizing the existence of sleep disorders. Such disorders are aggravated by the presence of certain factors, such as anxiety disorder, depression, sedentary lifestyle and Burnout syndrome. Added to this, medical undergraduate students are even more likely to develop sleeping problems, given the great pressure inherent in the course.
