Resultant poor quality of sleep may have adverse fetomaternal outcomes. This study was aimed at assessing sleep quality using validated tools among pregnant women seen in a referral teaching hospital. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted among consenting antenatal care attendees, selected via systematic random sampling technique. Interviewer-administration of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used, Data was analysed using SPSS version 24.0, with Chi-square, Fisher’s Exact and independent t-tests employed as an inferential statistic, and p-value set at 0.05. Result: The prevalence of poor sleep quality was 37.1%, with a mean PSQI score of 4.55 ± 1.54, The most affected sleep component with poor status was sleep disturbance (44.8%), followed by sleep latency (20.0%) and sleep duration (17.6%).
