Foundation:

Adequate sleep is a physiological necessity of the first order. Issues as daily as academic load, housework, or night work, contribute to some depriving themselves of recommended sleep hours, and this brings consequences for health, mood, and emotional intelligence.

Epworth’s sleepiness scale was applied to assess daytime sleepiness, and the Trait Meta Mood Scale for emotional intelligence. By means of Spearman’s Rho statistical test, the correlation between variables was evaluated.

Results:

Emotional intelligence had an average value of 78.66 ± 13.08, and the repair factor was the highest score (28.36 ± 5.63), followed by clarity (25.91 ± 5.58) and attention (24.38 ± 5.50). A weak negative correlation was observed between daytime sleepiness and emotional intelligence (p = 0.058).
