Sleep is a vital physiological process essential for cognitive function, emotional stability, and overall health. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence of stress, fatigue, and sleep disturbances among first-year medical students at the International Medical Faculty of Osh State University and identify sleep-related behaviors linked to anxiety and mood disorders. A cross-sectional study utilizing a structured survey was conducted among 211 randomly selected first-year international medical students at Osh State University, with quantitative data analyzed using Microsoft Excel and qualitative insights obtained through literature review. The study revealed that 68.1% of students reported an average sleep duration of 6-8 hours per night, while 81.3% experienced mental health issues, 72.2% reported negative physical health impacts, and 68.9% acknowledged a decline in academic performance due to sleep deprivation. The findings highlight a significant prevalence of sleep deprivation among medical students, demonstrating its detrimental effects on mental and physical health, academic performance, and overall well-being, emphasizing the urgent need for targeted interventions to promote healthy sleep habits.
