Abstract

Background: Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder characterized by complaints of insufficient or poor quality of sleep.

Aim: To define the prevalence of insomnia and determine its relationship with depression, anxiety, and stress among graduate-level students at Hadhramaut university.

Methods: We used a cross-sectional study on a sample size of 265 students. The relationship between insomnia and stress was assessed for university students, and a pre-tested questionnaire was used to collect data by interview after informed consent was obtained. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS version 23.

Results: The overall prevalence of insomnia in the study was 20.4%. Symptoms of mental health problem of depression, anxiety, and stress were significant risk factors for insomnia (p-value = 0.000, 0.000, 0.000). nap, regular exercise and problem coping with academic demands appeared to be a significantly related to insomnia (p-value = .020, .018, .015).

Conclusion: Insomnia is prevalence among graduate-level students at Hadhramout University. Anxiety, stress, and depression together with a nap, regular exercise, and academic demand are important association.
