Prevalencia de somnolencia diurna excesiva y cronotipos en los estudiantes del programa medicina de la Universidad de Ciencias Aplicadas y Ambientales en el periodo 2017-ll

This research is aimed to establish with an observational descriptive study with an analytical component, the relationship between the presence of excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS)) and the chronotypes on medical students of the U.D.C.A. Out of 513 students by study criteria, 416 were included, which constituted the total study population and answered both the Epworth's excessive daytime sleepiness scale, and the composite morningness scale. This data was analyzed and found a prevalence of EDS of 69% and a presentation according to the circadian rhythm of the intermediate chronotype in greater measure of 59%, followed by the evening chronotype of 30% and finally of the morning chronotype of 11%. It was possible to find with the measure of prevalence ratio, that the evening chronotype shows 1.4 more times the risk of presenting EDS than the intermediate and morning chronotype with figures of 0.8 and 0.6 of prevalence respectively. These figures indicate that despite a greater presentation of the intermediate chronotype, the chronotype that is most associated with SDE is the evening chronotype in medical students of the UDCA. The results show the need to propose prevention measures for this population who are subject to an intense academic load, a fixed time obligation, and less sleep.
