Background: Eating breakfast has been associated with better sleep, cognitive performance, and general well-being. Nonetheless, skipping breakfast is still very common among medical students. This study examined how skipping breakfast and other physiological factors impacted medical students sleep patterns.
Methods: 104 medical students (52 who ate breakfast and 52 who skipped it) participated in a cross-sectional study that used the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to measure sleep quality and cognitive performance using a variety of tasks.
Conclusion: Eating breakfast regularly is linked to improved sleep quality and cognitive performance, namely working memory, attention, and processing speed, among medical students. These results highlight theimportance of encouraging wholesome breakfast practices to improve academic achievement and general well-being.
