Objective: Our study was planned to examine the academic achievement, physical activity, smart phone use and sleep quality of university students. Methods: Young individuals between the ages of 18-25 studying at a vocational school were included in the study. While recording the demographic information of the participants, individuals were classified as "heavy users" and "light users", taking into account the duration of smartphone use during the day. In addition, the physical activity levels of the individuals were evaluated with the International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF), the smartphone usage level with the Smartphone Addiction Scale-Short Form (SAS-SF), and the sleep quality with the Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Results: A total of 424 people, 326 of whom were women, with a mean age of 20.30±1.34 years, participated in the study. It was determined that 70.3% of the participants used smartphones for more than 4 hours a day. It was determined that there was a weak negative correlation between the academic success of the students and their physical activity levels, and that their academic success was not affected by smart phone use and sleep quality. However, it was determined that there was a weak positive correlation between the sleep quality of the students and their smartphone use. It was observed that the physical activity levels of male students were higher, while the academic success and sleep quality of normal education students were better. Conclusion: We think that active life, adequate and conscious smartphone use and quality sleep habits can affect academic success in university students.

Disturbed sleep is prevalent in adult populations and has been associated with negative health outcomes. This cross-sectional study assessed how psychological and lifestyle factors relate to subjective sleep quality in university students. In a large (N = 1114) sample of Dutch university students we assessed chronotype (Morningness-Eveningness Questionnaire), depressive symptoms (Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptoms), cognitive emotion regulation styles (Cognitive Emotion Regulation Questionnaire), and substance use (caffeine, alcohol, smoking, cannabis), and analysed whether these factors were related to subjective sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index). The sample was predominantly (77.8%) female, mean age 21.1 (SD = 2.9) years, and 42.8% had clinically significant poor subjective sleep quality. More eveningness (B = −.05, p = .001), more depressive symptoms (B = .31, p = .001), less use of the emotion regulation strategy ‘putting into perspective’ (B = −.06, p = .02) and smoking (B = .53, p = .02) were independently associated with poorer subjective sleep quality. More eveningness, more depressive symptoms, less use of the emotion regulation style ‘putting into perspective’ and smoking were independently associated with poorer subjective sleep quality in a large sample of Dutch university students.

Background and Objective: Binaural beats are a novel type of non-invasive interventions. The present research aimed at assessing the effectiveness of alpha binaural beats in reducing stress, and rumination and promoting sleep quality in students with poor sleep quality. Materials and Methods: This study was a randomized controlled trial in which the statistical population included all university students with poor sleep quality in Mashhad, Iran, in 2020. According to inclusion criteria and ethical considerations, 24 students (12 women and 12 men) took part in this study. To reach the study objectives, the experimental group (12 students) received alpha binaural beats (10 Hz) for 30 minutes for 30 nights, and the control group (12 students) was on the waiting list. The research instruments consisted of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Ruminative Response Scale (RRS), and Perceived Stress Scale (PSS). Results: Based on demographic variables, there was no significant difference for age and gender between control and experimental groups (P > 0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis was performed and showed that alpha binaural beat intervention could have a protective effect on the variables of sleep quality [odds ratio (OR) = 0.77, P < 0.0001], rumination (OR = 0.85, P < 0.0001), and stress (OR = 0.69, P < 0.0001). Conclusion: Alpha binaural beats play an effective role in reducing perceived stress and rumination and improving sleep quality in students. The present study proposed a novel non-invasive intervention for psychological disorders.

This study aims to determine the effectiveness of combining effleurage massage with passive stretching on reducing fatigue and improving sleep quality in students. This study used a pre-experimental method with a one-group pretest-posttest design, conducted on 20 students at Yogyakarta State University who complained of excessive fatigue and poor sleep quality. The treatment given was a combination of effleurage massage and passive stretching for approximately 35 minutes and was performed once. The research instruments used were the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) to measure fatigue levels and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to measure sleep quality. Data analysis techniques used the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and the paired t-test to compare pretest and posttest data. The results showed that the effleurage massage with passive stretching method could significantly reduce fatigue and improve sleep quality with a P value <0.05. According to the effectiveness calculation results, the effectiveness value of the combination of effleurage massage and passive stretching in reducing fatigue was 42.2%, while in improving sleep quality, it was 62.1%. It was concluded that the combination of effleurage massage and passive stretching was effective in reducing fatigue levels and improving sleep quality in students.

Sleep is an important need for the maintenance of activities of daily living. With the development of technology, different types of technology addiction have emerged and it has been seen that these addictions affect sleep negatively. Nomophobia, which can negatively affect sleep, is one of these types of technology addiction and is often observed in university students. The study was planned to compare sleepiness and sleep quality in university students with different types of nomophobia. A total of 215 participants aged 18-25 enrolled to the study. Participants divided into three-groups mild nomophobia (n=67), moderate nomophobia (n=105) and severe nomophobia (n=43) according to Nomophobia Questionnaire results. Nomophobia Questionnaire, Epworth Sleepiness Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were used the study. A significant difference was determined between the severe nomophobic participants and the moderate and mild nomophobic participants in terms of sleepiness level and sleep duration (p<0.05). While sleep quality scores indicate possible sleep problems for all university students, no statistically significant difference was found in terms of different level of nomophobia groups (p˃0.05). This study has shown nomophobia is quite common among university students, and sleepiness and sleep quality are negatively influenced by different levels of university students with nomophobia. Sleepiness is affected more negatively in university students with severely nomophobia compared to other groups. The health care providers should consider nomophobia level of university students as a confounding factor for sleepiness of university students.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relationship between food addiction, night eating status and sleep quality in students studying at different faculties or departments of various universities in Turkey. Methods: A total of 1044 students from 11 different departments/faculties were included. Night Eating Questionnaire, Yale Food Addiction Scale and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Scale were applied to the students. Also, the dietary habits (main meal and snack consumptions, the meal they skipped and the reasons, duration of meals, consumption of tea and coffee etc.) of the students were questioned. Results: Significant relationships were found between BMIs, faculties/departments, use of antidepressants, skipping breakfast status and tea/coffee consumption of students. Moreover, there were significant differences between both food addiction status (p

Introduction: Endocrine disorders are emerging as one of the emergences in response to a growing recognition of the academic stress and deviation from routine life habits + poor sleep quality that medical students commonly experience. They are the ones disrupting hormonal system, such as hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis (HPA) and thyroid or reproductive hormones. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between perceived stress, sleep quality, BMI and endocrine disorders in the Medical students(MBBS students). Objectives: 1. Assess stress and sleep quality in medical students. 2. Compare stress and sleep quality in students with and without endocrine disorders. 3. Determine correlations between stress, sleep, and endocrine dysfunction. 4. Evaluate the relevance of BMI in this context. Methods: Cross-sectional study was conducted among 250 undergraduate Medical (MBBS) students. Study population was categorised as follow: Those with (n = 32) and without endocrine disorders (n=218). Conditions included hypothyroidism, diabetes mellitus and PCOS. Stress(Perceived Stress Scale) Sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) BMI as standardized tools. Statistical analysis SPSS, p < 0.05 indicate significant. Results: High stress levels were more common in students with endocrine disorders (40.6%) than those without (19.7%), with a significant association (p = 0.0292; OR = 2.30). Moderate to severe sleep difficulties were also more prevalent in this group (56.3% vs 36.7%; p = 0.0349; OR = 2.22). Although not statistically significant, obesity was more frequent among students with endocrine disorders (6.3% vs 2.8%; OR = 1.97). Discussion: Findings reveal an association among stress, sleep deprivation and endocrine issues. The data suggest that stress may influence hormone regulation via the HPA axis, furthering this pathogenesis in disorders such as hypothyroidism and PCOS. Hormones are dysregulated by poor sleep which influences metabolism and appetite controlling hormones exacerbating endocrine dysfunction. It was not statistically significant, but trends suggesting some role in hormonal imbalance do exist particularly for BMI. Conclusions: High stress levels and poor sleep seem to be associated with endocrine diseases in medical ( MBBS)student participants. Although BMI was not statistically significant, it may have some clinical relevance. The results highlight that stress management, sleep hygiene and lifestyle may have a role in development of endocrine disorders. Larger longitudinal studies are needed to explore the correlation between perceived stress, sleep hygiene in the development of endocrine disorders. Presentation: Sunday, July 13, 2025

This study aimed to elucidate the association between adherence to the Japanese Food Guide Spinning Top (Food Guide score) and sleep quality in Japanese college students. We conducted a cross-sectional study of 175 Japanese college students aged 19–22 years in the eastern part of Gunma Prefecture to examine the association between the Food Guide score and sleep quality. A self-administered diet history questionnaire and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index were used to assess habitual dietary intake and sleep quality, respectively. In the fully adjusted model, the odds ratios for poor sleep quality in the middle and highest tertile categories of the Food Guide score were 0.50 (95% confidence interval, 0.18–1.37) and 0.30 (95% confidence interval, 0.11–0.84), respectively, compared with those in the lowest tertile category (p for trend = 0.033). A well-balanced diet may be associated with good sleep quality in Japanese college students.

The impact of hospitalization on sleep in late-life is underexplored. The current study examined patterns of sleep quality before, during, and following hospitalization, investigated predictors of sleep quality patterns, and examined predictors of classification discordance between two suggested clinical cutoffs used to demarcate poor/good sleep. This study included older adults (n = 163; mean age 79.7 ± 6.9 years, 31% female) undergoing inpatient post-acute rehabilitation. Upon admission to inpatient post-acute rehabilitation, patients completed the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) retrospectively regarding their sleep prior to hospitalization. They subsequently completed the PSQI at discharge, and 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, and 1 year post discharge. Patient demographic and clinical characteristics (pain, depression, cognition, comorbidity) were collected upon admission. Using latent class analysis methods, older adults could be classified into (1) Consistently Good Sleepers and (2) Chronically Poor Sleepers based on patterns of self-reported sleep quality pre-illness, during, and up to 1 year following inpatient rehabilitation. This pattern was maintained regardless of the clinical cutoff employed (> 5 or > 8). Logistic regression analyses indicated that higher pain and depressive symptoms were consistently associated with an increased likelihood of being classified as a chronic poor sleeper. While there was substantial classification discordance based on clinical cutoff employed, no significant predictors of this discordance emerged. Clinicians should exercise caution in assessing sleep quality in inpatient settings. Alterations in the cutoffs employed may result in discordant clinical classifications of older adults. Pain and depression warrant detailed considerations when working with older adults on inpatient units when poor sleep is a concern.

Background: Dysmenorrhea is the most common gynecological problem in women and is defined as pain and cramping in the lower abdomen that occurs before or during menstruation. Dysmenorrhea is a condition that significantly affects women's quality of life such as interfering with daily activities and also experiencing sleep problems. This is related to the quality of a person's sleep. Good quality sleep is adequate sleep and does not show signs of sleep deprivation and does not experience sleep problems.Methods: This study aims to determine the effect of dysmenorrhea on sleep quality in students of the Faculty of Medicine, YARSI University Batch 2020.Methods: This type of research is descriptive analytic with a cross-sectional study approach. The sample in the study were students of the Faculty of Medicine, YARSI University class of 2020 with 117 respondents. Data was collected by filling out a questionnaire to measure pain and sleep quality, namely the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Statistical analysis using Chi-Square test. Results: The results showed that 25 people (51%) experienced mild dysmenorrhea with good sleep quality, 9 people (20.5%) experienced moderate dysmenorrhea with good sleep quality, and 2 people (8.3%) experienced severe dysmenorrhea with sleep quality is good. There were 24 people (49%) experiencing mild dysmenorrhea with poor sleep quality, 35 people (79.5%) experiencing moderate dysmenorrhea with poor sleep quality, and 22 people (91.7%) experiencing severe dysmenorrhea with poor sleep quality. The results of the Chi-Square analysis showed that there was an effect of the incidence of dysmenorrhea on sleep quality.Conclusion: There is an effect of the dysmenorrhea with sleep quality in students of the Faculty of Medicine, YARSI University Batch 2020.

The purpose of the study was to explore the effects of comprehensive sleep management on sleep quality in university students in mainland China. Eighty-four full-time university students were randomly allocated to the intervention group (n = 42), which received comprehensive sleep management, and the control group (n = 42) with no intervention. The comprehensive sleep management program was delivered by a researcher in lecture sessions (45 min per session) over a consecutive 3-day period. The first session included sleep hygiene education and music therapy, the second session included stimulus control therapy, and the third session included progressive muscle relaxation training. Based on sleep hygiene education, the students were instructed to do music therapy and progressive muscle relaxation training (i.e. taking a deep breath, and contracting and relaxing 16 muscle groups) within 1 h before night-time sleep daily, 30 min per session; stimulus control therapy was conducted through six steps and repeated daily. Sleep quality was assessed using the Chinese version of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. After 1 month, between-group comparisons showed that the intervention group had improvement in subjective sleep quality (mean difference: −0.31, 95% confidence interval: −0.58, −0.04) (P = 0.027), sleep latency (−0.60 [−0.86, −0.33]) (P < 0.001), daytime dysfunction (−1.14 [−1.39, −0.89]) (P < 0.001), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index total score (−1.98 [−2.64, −1.31]) (P < 0.001). The comprehensive use of sleep hygiene education, music therapy, stimulus control therapy, and progressive muscle relaxation training has positive effects on improving sleep quality in university students.

Introduction: Students are willing to cut back on sleep in order to adapt and cope with their stressful work load and environment. This study examines the prevalence of stress and its relationship with sleep quality. Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted using available sampling of male and female students of the Nursing and Midwifery Faculty of Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences, Ahvaz in 2022. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire was used to measure sleep quality and Kessler Psychological Distress Scale Questionnaire was used to measure stress. Results: The prevalence of all levels of stress among students was 53.2% (140 people). 61 people (23.2%) experienced mild stress, 35 students (13.3%) experienced moderate stress, and 44 students (16.7%) experienced severe stress. The average score of Kessler's psychological distress (K10) of the participants was 21.9 ± 7.3 (maximum = 50). No significant relationship was observed between stress and gender (p=0.25) and academic year (p=0.72). There was a statistically significant relationship between sleep quality and stress (p &lt; 0.001). Conclusion: This study reports the high prevalence of stress and poor sleep quality in students of Ahvaz College of Nursing and Midwifery. This study shows a strong connection between sleep quality and stress.

Objective The present systematic review aims to assess the impact of the COVID19 pandemic on the sleep quality of students. Methods An electronic search was performed in the databases and in gray literature for articles published up to January 2022. The results included observational studies that assessed sleep quality through validated questionnaires, comparing moments pre and postCOVID19 pandemic. The risk of bias was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Assessment Checklist. The Grading of Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) was used to assess the certainty of scientific evidence. Estimates of interest were calculated using random effects meta-analyses and possible confounding factors were meta-regressed. Results Eighteen studies were considered for qualitative synthesis and thirteen were considered for meta-analysis. Considering the comparison of means obtained by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, there was an increase in the scores obtained during the pandemic period [MD = −0.39; 95% CI = −0.72 – −0.07; I2 = 88.31%], thus evidencing a slight worsening in the sleep quality of these individuals. Risk of bias was considered low in nine studies, moderate in eight studies, and high in one study. The unemployment rate (%) in the country of origin of each included study partially explained the heterogeneity of analysis. GRADE analysis showed a very low certainty of scientific evidence. Conclusion The COVID-19 pandemic may have a slight negative impact on the sleep quality of high school and college students, but the evidence is still uncertain. The socioeconomic reality must be considered when evaluating this outcome.

The Relationship Between Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (Gerd) and Sleep Quality in Medical Faculty Students of Indonesian Muslim University Class of 2021. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease (GERD) is a chronic gastrointestinal disorder characterized by the regurgitation of stomach contents into the esophagus, causing symptoms such as heartburn, regurgitation, sore throat, and cough. GERD can worsen sleep quality, contributing to sleep disorders. This study aims to examine the association between GERD and sleep quality among medical students at Indonesian Muslim University Class of 2021. This study emploved a descriptive analytics desing with a cross-sectional approach, and the sample was selected through total sampling. The chi-square test was applied to analyze the association between GERD and sleep quality with a significance level of p &lt; 0.05. Among 274 respondents, 45 (16.4%) had GERD, while 229 (83.6%) did not. Additionally, 42 (15.3%) had good sleep quality, whereas 232 (84.7%) had poor sleep quality. Statistical analysis showed a p-value = 0.027, indicating a significant association between GERD and sleep quality (p &lt; 0.05). The findings suggest that students with GERD are at a higher risk of experiencing poor sleep quality. These results highlight the need for preventive measures and interventions to improve sleep quality in students suffering from GERD.
