Abstract: Objective: The objective of this study is to carry out a descriptive analysis of sleep disturbances among medical students in Haiti during the quarantine period due to COVID-19 since March 20, 2020, in Haiti. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional and descriptive study by self-questionnaire among medical students in Haiti on sleep disturbances. Results: A total of 72 medical students from five medical schools participated in our study. The mean age was 22.8 ? 0.39 years. Most of the participants were women (56.9%, n = 41/72). Most of the participants came from the FMP/UEH (73.6%, n = 53/72). In our study, a relationship was established between sleep disturbances and tea consumption (P = 0.005) as well as alcohol consumption (P = 0.003). Most study participants did not smoke (n = 56, 77.77%), and among the non-smokers, only 14.28% had sleep disturbances. Conclusion: This study shows a high frequency of poor sleep quality among medical students in Haiti.
