As we all are aware about the fact that proper Sleep is vital for the body and mind. But unfortunately there are sufficient gestures or adequate information about the relationship between sleep quality, stress and academic performance in the literature of medical sciences. This study was performed to determine the association and prevalence of stress with sleep quality among young adults of college going students in India. A study was done among 220 medical students of Index Hospital and Research Centre Indore using a random sampling technique. All students get intimated about an electronic self‐administered questionnaire was used about the current standard and overall grade point average, and other demographic and lifestyle factors. Kessler Psychological Distress Scale (K10) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) were used to assess the stress and sleep quality. The total students who experienced some level of psychological stress were 64.8%. The prevalence of poor quality sleep was observed 73.4%. Study shows strong correlation between poor quality sleep and sleep (Cramer’s value was obtained V = 0.259, P < 0.001) and daytime naps (P = 0.027) and the observation clarified that the significant predictor of poor sleep quality is elevated stress. Increased stress levels were closely and adequately significant with the poor quality sleep in the observation no sort of correlation or a vital significance was observed with the academic performance. For future concern, as the fact our study was very small and we robustly recommend future work should be done on a large scale based sampling and we wish to establishing courses through myriad platforms focusing on guiding and educating the students about dynamic sleep, hygiene and last but not the least with harsh and day to day frustrated and stressful surrounding.
