Medical faculty students can be assessed as risky group for Excessive Daytime Sleepiness (EDS) due to intensive educational tempo, subject intensity that needs long-time study, insufficient sleep and stress. This study is planned for assessing frequency of EDS and depression cases and specifications that considered to be related with these cases. This cross-sectional study was conducted on first, second and third grade students from Eskisehir Osmangazi University Medicine Faculty on April-May 2014. Target population of the study is 665 and 447 (%67.2) of them are be reached on study period. Students were between 18-47 age and the mean age of students’ was 20.3±1.9 years. Of the students, 186 (%41.6) were first grade, 139 (%31.1) were second grade and 224 (%50.1) were male. Taken median point from Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) is 6 and 69 (%15.4) students were diagnosed EDS whereas taken median point from Beck Depression Scale (BDS) is 10 and 97 (%21.7) students were diagnosed suspicion of depression. %5.6 of all students were diagnosed both EDS and suspicion of depression. Frequency of EDS is detected at higher point on female students than males (p=0.004) and is detected at higher point on suspicion of depression diagnosed than not diagnosed people (p=0.002). On lineer regression model that determines connection between gained points from ESS and BDS, a correlation was detected on positive direction and medium level after some changes according to gender (p<0.001). It is concluded that EDS and suspicion of depression is more serious health problem on medicine faculty students than others who are at the same age with them.Keywords: Zika virüs, microcaphaly, congenital zika syndrome
