BACKGROUND: Sleep disturbances have negative effects on medical conditions, mental health and cognitive performance. It was shown that about 60% of inpatients suffer from @entity25 . The aim of this study was to assess the correlation between @entity25 and other factors in the inpatients of Rasoul-e-Akram hospital. METHODS: In this cross-sectional study, all the hospitalized @entity1 in twelve wards of Rasoul-e-Akram hospital during September 2012, were examined. Sleeping habits of 209 inpatients of different wards were assessed through the Persian version of Pittsburgh Sleep Questionnaire (PSQI). A self-designed 18- question questionnaire was conducted for all @entity1 in order to assess their attitude to interior and atmosphere of wards. Content validity and test retest reliability were evaluated. The @entity158 level was also measured by the visual analog scale (VAS) and scores analyzed by the statistical methods of frequency, percentage, chi-square and logistic regression. RESULTS: The mean of the total scores in PSQI was 8.8  4.8 and 70.8% of the @entity1 were 'poor sleepers' (global PSQI> 5). Age and gender had no effect on the PSQI total score, but the number of roommates, type of the ward, hospitalization period, presence and severity of @entity158 , taking sleep medication and attitude toward the overall atmosphere and interior of wards have caused deviation in scores. CONCLUSION: Sleep problems are quite frequent in medical inpatients. @entity158 management and modification of the ward interior and atmosphere can impact inpatients @entity25 .
