Abstract
Sleep disorders have increasingly been recognized as a significant factor influencing general health, often associated with chronic diseases. To investigate the prevalence of sleep disorders and their association with chronic diseases in a community setting. A community‐based cross‐sectional study was conducted involving 120 participants selected through simple random sampling. Data were collected via structured interviews and validated sleep questionnaires. Chronic diseases were confirmed through medical records and patient self‐reporting. The study revealed a high prevalence of sleep disorders among the participants, with a significant association found between sleep disturbances and chronic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension. Sleep disorders are prevalent in the general population and are associated with various chronic diseases, emphasizing the need for healthcare strategies integrating sleep management into chronic disease prevention and care.
