Abstract: Sleep becomes one of the human biological needs. Healthy sleep is indicated with good quality and sufficient duration. Sleep deprivation occurs when someone had either bad sleep quality or insufficient sleep duration. Medical students are one of the population group which had a high risk to suffer from sleep deprivation. People with sleep deprivation have decreased focus level and awareness so the brain is troubled to receive information. Previous studies shown that sleep deprivation correlates with low-grade point average (GPA). This study aims to determine the relationship between sleep deprivation and academic performance among Medical Faculty students at Udayana University measured with a grade point average (GPA). This study was an observational analytic study using a cross-sectional method and involved 70 respondents. Based on the results of the study, there is no significant relationship between sleep quality and GPA (p = 0.406) and there is no significant relationship between sleep duration and GPA (p = 0.253). It can be concluded that there is no correlation between sleep deprivation and college students’ academic performance in the Faculty of Medicine, Udayana University.
