This cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach and nonexperimental design revealed that sleep disorders, which are disruptions in sleep phases that hinder proper and restorative rest, have a negative effect on the academic-professional performance of Nursing students. The results show that the most prevalent sleep disorders among Nursing students are excessive daytime sleepiness, intermediate and final insomnia, and initial insomnia. These findings support the close relationship between sleep disorders and academic performance, demonstrating that these health issues can significantly influence students' performance. The use of a validated questionnaire and data analysis through tabulation in Excel has allowed for the identification and quantification of the prevalence of sleep disorders in the study population. In conclusion, it is confirmed that sleep disorders, such as excessive daytime sleepiness and various types of insomnia, are closely related to the academic performance of Nursing students, emphasizing the importance of addressing these issues to promote better rest and optimal academic performance.
