As sleep deprivation is always occurring in undergraduate students, it will affect the quality of sleep among this group. The factors associated with sleep quality from the previous studies in Malaysia focus on a few course, such as medical and biomedical science students only. Therefore, this study will focus on health science courses such as Nursing, Dietetic, Nutrition, Environmental and Occupational health and biomedical science. Objectives: To determine the prevalence of sleep quality, factors associated with sleep quality, and their association with sleep quality among undergraduate students in Faculty of Medicines and Health Sciences (FPSK) at Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM). Methods: A cross-sectional study with stratified random sampling was used. The data were collected by using self-administered questionnaires from January until April 2016. A total of 329 respondents were selected among undergraduate students of each year of each course in FPSK, UPM. Data analysis was done using Statistical Analysis Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 20.0. Descriptive statistic were used to describe the samples, while Chi-square test was used to determine the association between dependent and independent variable with p value ≤ 0.05 considered as statistically significant. Ethical approval from Jawatankuasa Etika Universiti Putra Malaysia (JKEUPM), and Dean of FPSK were obtained prior to commencement of the study. Results: A total respondent of this study was 329 students for each year of the course were approached and 313 responded and attempted the questionnaire, yielding a response rate of 95.1%. 221 students had poor sleep quality. The prevalence of poor sleep quality among undergraduate students at FPSK in UPM was 70.6%. Majority, 35.5% of poor sleep quality was age above 21 years and 55.3% of poor sleep quality was female. Moreover, 52.7% of respondent were Malay, 42.2% were from health sciences students, 67.1% live in hostel, and 38.2 % of students had BMI 21.0 and above having poor sleep quality. This study showed sleep quality related to excessive daytime sleepiness and stress level (p≤0.05). Conclusion: Almost one third of students defined as poor sleeper and suffered from daytime sleepiness. The results from this study showed that there was no significant association between socio-demographic factors, academic performance, electronic media use, and lifestyle. Whereas, excessive daytime sleepiness and stress level show significant association with sleep quality. Therefore, health education should be conducted by involving health care provider, academician and university management for students to increase the awareness and knowledge towards their sleeping habits and problems and hence, practices good sleep hygiene.
