It is also closely related to the sleep-wake cycle. It has both sleep-improving and deteriorating results. Sleep regulation is tightly coupled to vitamin D; hence, its deficiency might impact the duration and quality of sleep. This study intends to evaluate the association between sleep quality and serum vitamin D levels in HD patients. Objective: To assess the quality of sleep in patients with ESRD on routine HD and determine the association of vitamin D deficiency with sleep quality. Methodology: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted on the patients presenting to the dialyzing centre of the Department of Nephrology, Holy Family Hospital, Rawalpindi, Pakistan, for twice-weekly routine hemodialysis, from May 2022 to June 2022. Results: In this study, the quality of sleep in End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) patients on twice-weekly hemodialysis (HD) was asse...
