This study aims to investigate the relationship between insomnia and coffee consumption among medical interns at the Autonomous University of Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. The research stems from the observation of high coffee consumption among healthcare personnel, particularly those exposed to night shifts and conditions that impact sleep quality. A cross-sectional, descriptive, and quantitative study was conducted with a sample of 299 interns, divided into groups based on the presence or absence of insomnia symptoms according to DSM-V criteria. The results indicate a significant relationship between coffee consumption and the prevalence of insomnia, with higher incidence among interns who consume coffee daily. This study provides evidence on how coffee consumption, within the Dominican cultural context and the demands of the medical environment, can affect sleep quality among medical interns. These findings highlight the need to consider caffeine consumption as a potential factor in the assessment and management of sleep disorders within this group of healthcare professionals.
