Abstract
El Síndrome de Sueño Insuficiente es un trastorno que se caracteriza por somnolencia diurna excesiva causada por la reducción del sueño casi todos los días durante al menos tres meses, produce disfunciones conductuales, cognitivas y físicas. Este trastorno es común durante la juventud especialmente en adolescentes y adultos jóvenes.
OBJETIVO: Establecer la asociación entre exposición nocturna a monitores de dispositivos electrónicos y el Síndrome de Sueño Insuficiente en estudiantes de Medicina de la Universidad Nacional de Trujillo (UNT).
MATERIAL Y MÉTODO: Se encuestó 663 estudiantes de Medicina de la UNT de primer a sexto año usando un cuestionario de 20 preguntas y la Escala de Epworth.
RESULTADOS: 322 estudiantes cumplieron los criterios de selección a los cuales se les aplicó la prueba exacta de Fisher presentando un valor-p de significancia menor que 0.05 (p=2.811e-10<0.05), por lo que podemos afirmar que la exposición nocturna a monitores de dispositivos electrónicos está asociada al desarrollo del Síndrome de Sueño Insuficiente.
CONCLUSIONES: La exposición nocturna a monitores electrónicos durante dos horas o más antes de dormir en estudiantes de Medicina de la UNT está asociado al desarrollo del Síndrome de Sueño Insuficiente.

This disorder is common during youth especially in adolescents and young adults. OBJECTIVE: To establish the association between nocturnal exposure to electronic device monitors and insufficient sleep syndrome in medical students of the National University of Trujillo (UNT). METHODOLOGY: We surveyed 663 UNT medical students from the first to the sixth year using a 20-question questionnaire and the Epworth Scale. RESULTS: 322 students met the criteria to which Fisher's exact test was applied presenting a p-value of significance less than 0.05 (p=2.811e-10<0.05), so we can affirm that nocturnal exposure to electronic device monitors is associated with the development of Insufficient Sleep Syndrome. CONCLUSIONS: Nocturnal exposure to electronic monitors for two hours or more before bedtime in UNT medical students is associated with the development of Insufficient Sleep Syndrome.
