A shift in lifestyle during COVID-19 pandemic affects daily conditions, including sleep condition. During pandemic, humans have plenty of time to rest by the virtue of eliminating commuting time for daily activities, therefore changing the sleeping pattern in society, including for students. Students from academic year 2020 are the first to experience online classes, but since Semester 1 of 2022/2023 academic year ITENAS are going back to normal, on-site class activities. This condition reverted the lifestyle shaped over the past two years, affecting cognitive function because one of the supporting factors of cognitive function is sleep quality. Data from ITENAS Academic Bureau showed 48% of students from 2020 suffered decline in GPA index during the first semester of 2022/2023 academic period. In this research the sleep quality of students will be studied using Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), while cognitive capabilities will be observed through Cognitive Failure Questionnaire (CFQ) with special attention for student’s GPA index. From 97 students sampled for this research, there is an increase of students having bad sleeping quality at the start, during, and at the end of semester, with average percentage during all 3 periods at 89.69% of students with bad sleep quality. The number of students with high cognitive capabilities is increasing from the start, during, and after the end of semester, therefore there is no correlation between sleep quality and cognitive capabilities (p>0.05), as well as between sleep quality and academic achievement and between cognitive capabilities and academic achievement. Despite differences in sleep quality between students from Faculty of Industrial Engineering, Faculty of Civil Engineering and Planning, and Faculty of Architecture and Design, no apparent differences in cognitive capabilities and academic achievements to be observed.

“…Recently, psychiatry has been declared as a major subject in medical graduate curriculum at All India Institute of Medical Sciences, Rishikesh (AIIMS-Rishikesh), with separate examinations at the end of the seventh semester. [ 1 ] This necessitated a revamp of the existing curriculum at AIIMS-Rishikesh, in which psychiatry was seen as a section under the General Medicine curriculum, in line with the curriculum recently devised by the Medical Council of India (MCI). [ 2 ] This was also seen by the department as an opportunity to develop a robust curriculum which would further help in meeting the training needs of Indian Medical Graduates (IMGs).…”
