The mean PSQI scoresof the participants were 6.5 ± 3.1, the mean ESS scores were 7.3 ± 4.6 and the mean BMI was 23.9 ± 4.3. It was found that 70.7%(203) of the nurses included in the study had poor sleep quality (PSQI ≥ 5) and 22.9% (66) had excessive daytime sleepiness (ESS ≥10). The majority of the participants (59.7%) had normal BMI, while 17.1% had a comorbid disease.
