    Abstract: Objective To investigate the sleep status of patients with type 2 diabetes and analyze the influencing factors. Methods This study is a cross-sectional study using convenience sampling method and questionnaire-based survey. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale (PSQI) was used to assess the sleep status of patients. Results Totally 223 patients were recruited in this study. The patient''s PSQI score ranged from 0 to 16, with an average score of (4.00�3.10). Totally 173 (77.58%) patients had good sleep quality, 39 (17.49%) had average sleep quality, 10 (4.48%) had poor sleep quality, and 1 (0.45%) had very poor sleep quality. Univariate analysis showed that the patients'' PSQI scores were higher in female patients, aged 45 years old or older, with education level of senior high school /technical secondary school or below, non-employed patients, with family monthly per-capita income 5000 RMB or less, and those who had symptoms of hypoglycemia (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that low education level (P=0.007) and occurrence of hypoglycemia (P=0.016) were independent influencing factors for patients with sleep disorders. Conclusion Patients with type 2 diabetes had a higher proportion of sleep disturbances. Patients with education level of senior high school or technical secondary school education and below, and who have had hypoglycemia are more likely to have sleep disorders.
