Abstract

This study aims to examine sleep quality and well-being of college students according to their amount of exercise, field of study and academic school year. 367 college students from different academic disciplines submitted a questionnaire via Google Forms relating to the amount of exercise they engage in, sleep quality and well-being. Physical-education students exercise more than other disciplines (4.8 compared to 2.7; p<0.001). Their sleep quality is better compared to students from other disciplines (5.72 compared to 5.05, p<0.05). Moreover, sleep quality of freshmen students who exercise more is better (5.33 compared to 4.85, p=0.002). To ensure adequate quality of life and a better well-being of College students, it is recommended to enhance the level of the students’ weekly physical activity, as well as implement an educational program for physical activity in their curriculum, and as early as their first year of study.
