Survey study, 2026 # Do nursing students with PMS experience excessive daytime sleepiness? Yes, most experienced mild sleepiness (55.1%) and sleepiness increased with PMS severity. However, only 2 students had severe PMS, so we cannot be confident about that group. Moderate study design 296 female nursing students ## What they did Descriptive cross-sectional study of 296 female nursing students. Researchers measured PMS severity using the Shortened Premenstrual Assessment Form and daytime sleepiness using the Epworth Sleepiness Scale. ## What they found Most students had mild PMS (65.2%) and mild sleepiness (55.1%). A gradient pattern emerged, with higher sleepiness and greater severity among those with moderate PMS compared to mild PMS. All students with severe PMS (n=2) experienced daytime sleepiness. Affective symptoms were the most common PMS complaints. ## What it means for you Sleepiness appears linked to PMS severity in nursing students. However, the study is small and descriptive rather than explanatory. Only 2 students had severe PMS, which is too few to draw firm conclusions about that group. Nursing students face unique academic stressors, so results may not apply to all women. 55.1% mild sleepiness 65.2% mild PMS 296 students studied ## About the study Original title Gambaran Excessive Daytime Sleepiness pada Mahasiswi Keperawatan dengan Premenstrual Syndrome Authors Afifah Nur Layla, Raini Diah Susanti, Iceu Amira DA Journal Malahayati Nursing Journal Year 2026 Study design Survey study Participants 2 What was tested None (descriptive study) Open access Yes Read the paper [doi.org/10.33024/mnj.v8i3.24536](https://doi.org/10.33024/mnj.v8i3.24536) ## Topics [Premenstrual syndrome (PMS)](https://niyora.com/research/topics/condition-pms/)[Sleep and insomnia](https://niyora.com/research/topics/symptom-sleep/)[Students and academic performance](https://niyora.com/research/topics/life-area-education/) Research tells you what helps on average.
