Purpose: The objective of this study was to analyze the sleep quality of undergraduate students in Biological Sciences at UNESP in Ilha Solteira, in order to assess whether the academic semester and the performance of assessment activities alter the sleep quality of students. Methods: 64 Biological Sciences students at FEIS/UNESP, 18 from the 1st semester and 46 from the 9th semester; this second group, divided into students in periods with and without evaluative stress, answered questionnaires for self-assessment of sleep quality for 7 days. Data were analyzed using RStudio statistical software, version 1.1.442. Subsequently, the Shapiro-Wilk test was performed to verify the normality of the variables, for parametric data, the Student's T test was applied, and for non- parametric data, the Wilcoxon Rank Sum Test was applied. Results and conclusion: The quality of sleep was considerably depleted in the comparison between freshman and senior students, notably by the decrease in sleep hours and worse self-assessment of the sensation upon waking up. Additionally, physical activity, which is quite rare in veterans, may be a factor in improving sleep quality, and should be encouraged during such school period. Regarding the assessment of stress from evaluative activities, it was noted that the parameters related to the sensation when waking up and the duration of sleep worsened in students during the evaluation period.
