Abstract

Introduction: Negative lifestyles affect the health and quality of sleep of those living with and without HIV/AIDS.

Methods: Individuals were divided into two groups based on whether or not they were living with HIV/AIDS.

Results: Among the 20 participants, 95% displayed a poor lifestyle, and both groups demonstrated low-quality sleep with significant differences between groups in the early sleep variables, total sleep time, and sleep patterns.

Conclusions: Both groups demonstrated similar behavior with unsatisfactory lifestyles, poor sleep quality, and irregular sleep patterns.
