Abstract

Sleep is a state where the body experiences active unconsciousness, at this time the brain is in a relative rest phase but will remain reactive to internal stimuli. Sleeping in the dark can increase melatonin which affects sleep quality and results in fitness later. This study aims to see the effect of sleeping in the dark on sleep quality and fitness in 4th year Medical students. This study is experimental by comparing sleep quality and fitness when sleeping in light and dark conditions. The study was conducted on 42 4th year Medical students, Faculty of Medicine, Unisba. The students previously slept in light conditions and their sleep quality and fitness were measured after being asked to sleep in the dark with a special eye mask for 2 weeks. Sleep quality was assessed using the PSQI questionnaire while fitness was assessed using Vo2max which was measured using the Harvard Steps Test. The results of the study found that there was a significant difference in sleep quality and fitness (p <0.01). Sleeping in the dark can lead to good sleep quality and can then increase fitness sequentially.
