Erythrocytes, late–night wakefulness, college studentsAbstract
Late–night wakefulness, defined as staying awake beyond 11:00 PM, may disrupt circadian rhythms and impair homeostatic processes when practiced chronically. College students are particularly susceptible to this behavior due to academic and organizational demands. A descriptive observational study using a quantitative approach, using a purposive sampling technique, based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Morphological assessment predominantly showed normocytic normochromic erythrocytes. However, a subset of samples demonstrated normocytic hypochromic features accompanied by mild poikilocytosis (1-2 variations), including echinocyte, elliptocytes, ovalocytes, and dacrocytes. Short–term late–night wakefulness appears to have a more pronounced effect on erythrocyte morphology than on erythrocyte count, with observed alterations remaining mild in severity.
