Abstract
Introduction: Non-specific mechanical neck pain (NMNP) may cause decrease of work quality, sleep disturbance, disability in adults. There is still a need for studies in the literature on sleep quality, body awareness and neck disability in adults with nonspecific mechanical neck pain. 
 Aim: The study aimed to compare sleep quality, body awareness, and neck disability in adults with and without NMNP. Adults with non-specific mechanical neck pain (n=89) and age-matched asymptomatic controls (n=90) were included in this cross-sectional study. Body awareness, sleep quality, and neck disability were assessed using online questionnaires. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, body awareness was assessed using the Body Awareness Questionnaire, and neck disability was evaluated with the Neck Bournemouth Questionnaire. 
 Results: Overall, 179 adults (mean age: 24.14±22.42 years) were divided into two groups of those with and without nonspecific mechanic neck pain. Females comprised 70.2% (n=125) of the sample. Sleep quality was better and neck disability was lower in participants without NMNP (p
