Assessment of Sleep Quality and the Danielopolu Clinostatic Test in Junior Students at the Medical Faculty of the KRSU

The aim of this study was to investigate sleep disorders among students of the Medical Faculty of the Kyrgyz-Russian Slavic University and to establish the relationship between sleep quality and cardiovascular system reactivity. The study was conducted based on the Sleep Quality Questionnaire by Ya. I. Levin (1995), the Sleepiness Scale, and the results of Danielopolu’s Clinostatic Test. A total of 197 first- and second-year students of the medical faculty participated in the study.Hyposomnia was identified in 31% of the students, while hypersomnia was observed in 16.4% of the participants. The main factors affecting sleep quality included high academic workload, night-time work, anxiety, and the use of electronic devices before sleep. According to the results of Danielopolu’s test, students with insomnia exhibited a non-reactive cardiovascular response, with pulse rates of approximately 83±0.24 beats per minute in the standing position and 82±0.27 beats per minute in the supine position. The study results emphasize the importance of developing healthy habits and maintaining regular physical activity to improve students' sleep quality.
