Description

Sleep deprivation is the condition when a person does not get enough sleep. According to the study conducted by the American College Health Association at Minnesota State University, Mankato, 25.5% of students reported sleep difficulties (2018), but they have not examined factors associated with sleep quality. Therefore, the purpose of the research is to study sleep quality among university students as well as factors that may contribute to poor sleep quality. The self-report instrument assesses amount and quality of sleep along with potential disturbances to sleep, such as pain, snoring, and more. A sample of university students will be assessed and the results of the study may assist health educators as they develop programs to increase sleep quality.
