Abstract

Objective: Adolescents tend to have poor sleep quality, which affects their physical, psychological, cognitive, and social conditions. Sleep hygiene practices have been considered to improve sleep quality. This study aimed to determine the relationship between sleep hygiene practices and sleep quality of junior high school’s students. Methods: Sleep hygiene practices and sleep quality were assessed using the Sleep Hygiene Index and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index questionnaire, respectively. This cross-sectional study with descriptive correlation enrolled 124 students using cluster random sampling. Result: Significant correlation was observed between sleep hygiene practices and sleep quality of junior high school students ( p = 0.0005). Poor sleep hygiene practices correlate with poor sleep quality in students ( r = 0.362). Conclusion: Nurses should provide counseling regarding good sleep hygiene practices to students or parents or in schools to improve adolescents sleep quality. Keywords: Adolescents, junior high school students, sleep hygiene practices, sleep quality
