Objective: Our study aimed to investigate the effect of pre-operative sleep quality on post-operative pain and emergence agitation. Materials and methods: Our study was performed 80 patients with American Society of Anesthesiologists I-II and 18-65 years of age. The patients were divided into poor (Group A, n = 40) and good sleep quality (Group B, n = 40). All patients were operated on under standard general anesthesia. The emergence agitation and pain status of all groups were evaluated in the recovery room and post-operative period. Results: There was no significant difference between the groups regarding demographic data. Post-operative numeric rating scale scores and analgesic consumption were significantly higher in Group A than in Group B (p < 0.05). There was no significant difference between the groups regarding post-operative emergence agitation and extubation quality (p > 0.05). Conclusion: In our study, poor pre-operative sleep quality increases post-operative pain and analgesic consumption; however, emergence agitation is not associated with sleep quality in the pre-operative period.
