Abstract: Poor sleep quality has been associated with poor cognitive performance, anxiety, stress, fatigue, and overall poor health.The present study aimed to assess the quality of sleep and daytime sleepiness in adults aged between 21 and 55 years living in the Mumbai metropolitan region (MMR), India.They were interviewed regarding their quality of sleep using a pretested, semistructured questionnaires -Pittsburgh sleep quality index (PSQI) and the Epworth sleepiness scale (ESS).Out of 758 adults, 49.9% of them had poor sleep quality (PSQI > 5).Excessive daytime sleepiness was reported by 30%.Only 18.3% of the participants slept for more than 7 hours at night, and 20% of participants reported a sleep latency of over 30 min every night.Sleep efficiency was more than 85% in almost 66% (n = 500) of the participants, however, it was observed that the duration of sleep was not adequate in 197 participants who reported less than 6 hours of sleep every night.Adults aged 21-32 years had a poor sleep quality with a significantly higher PSQI and ESS scores, increased sleep latency, and lower sleep efficiency compared to older adults.Sleep quality in young adults is compromised and it is important to intervene them correctly to address the specific determinants of the sleep problems.
