Abstract

This cross-sectional study aimed to investigate sleep procrastination, sleep outcomes, self-regulation, and examine the relationship between sleep procrastination and sleep outcomes and self-control among medical students enrolled in the strengthening track. Data were collected from three medical education centers: Somdejphrajaotaksin Maharaj Hospital, Phichit Hospital, and Phrae Hospital, with a total of 124 cases, using online questionnaires adapted from the Bedtime Procrastination Scale during August 2022. The data were analyzed using inferential statistics, including the chi-square test, at a statistical significance level of 0.05. The results indicated that the medical students who responded to the online questionnaire had an average age of 30.36 ± 1.37 years. Among them, 64 individuals had moderate levels of sleep procrastination, accounting for 51.6 percent. Regarding sleep outcomes, 88 students reported sleeping fewer than 6 hours per day, accounting for 71.0 percent. Additionally, 74 students felt tired during the day for more than 3 days a week and believed they did not get enough sleep for more than 3 days, representing 59.7 percent. Regarding self-control, it was found that the majority of medical students had a moderate level, totaling 111 individuals, which accounted for 89.5 percent. Furthermore, the results revealed significant relationships between sleep procrastination and various sleep outcomes, including the number of hours of sleep, tiredness, adequacy of sleep, as well as self-control and action control.
