Sleep disorders are very common symptoms of cancer and have a negative impact on the daily life of patients and those around them, thus altering their quality of life. This is an observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study, conducted at the Military Hospital Moulay Ismail in Meknes, Morocco, for 2 months, from 1st January 2021 to 31 December 2021. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scale was used to assess sleep quality. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square test, and multivariate logistic regression analysis were used to conduct statistical analysis. 43% of our patients suffered from poor sleep quality and 22% had excessive daytime sleepiness. Correlation tests had objectified a significant positive relationship between sleep disorders and the presence of metastases. The correlation tests had also objectified a significant positive relationship between sleep disorders and treatment with chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and tumor ablation The correlation tests had objectified a significant positive relationship between sleep disorders and excessive daytime sleepiness. On the other hand, the correlation tests had not objectified a significant positive relationship between sleep disorders and tumor localization.
