✦ Synopsis

Brazil

A QOLI (Quality of Life of Insomniacs) questionnaire was administered to psychology students from UCDB for the purpose of comparing the life quality of insomniac and non-insomniac students by way of the following variables: quality of sleep, quality of awakening, physical state, psychological mood/state of mind, relationships (family, professional/academic and social). Students were considered as insomniacs according to the following criteria: a history of insomnia of from 2 weeks to 3 months; two or three of the following criteria: total night's sleep of less than 6 hr; at least two awakenings in the early morning; a sleep latency (period needed to fall asleep) greater than 30 min; additional sleep during the day, owing to the insomnia; absence of any somatic cause andlor treatment for insomnia. The statistical analysis was done comparing the average scores of each of the variables taken from the two groups, by way of the Student's t-test. It was concluded that insomnia affected the physical well-being, psychological mood/state of mind and relationships (family, professional/academic and social) of the psychology students from UCDB and, thus, their quality of life.
