Sleep Quality In Students Research Articles

Influence of physical activity and screen time on sleep quality in primary school students

In a society where, sedentary lifestyles and the use of technological screens are on the rise, students' lifestyle is being significantly affected. In fact, nowadays many students experience various sleep problems, and two of its main factors may be physical activity and the use of technological screens. In this sense, this research aimed to analyze the influence of students' physical activity and the screen time on sleep quality of students. The participants were 28 students in 5th and 6th grade of primary school. They wore ActiGraph WGT3X-BT accelerometers for one week to collect data related to physical activity and sleep patterns. Additionally, a survey was conducted to assess their use of technological screens. The collected data were analyzed, with a focus on differences by sex. Correlations between these parameters were also analyzed. The analysis revealed no significant correlation between physical activity and sleep quality. However, a significant correlation was observed between screen time and sleep quality. This finding highlights the importance of continued research in these areas to enhance the wellbeing and sleep quality of students.

Mental well-being and sleep quality among vocational college students in Sichuan, China during standardized COVID-19 management measures.

This research investigated the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the mental well-being and sleep quality of students in higher vocational colleges in Sichuan, China, identifying key factors influencing their psychological health during this period. Between January and February 2022, a comprehensive survey was conducted among students from several higher vocational colleges in Sichuan, utilizing a randomized selection approach to involve 3,300 participants. Data were collected through direct interviews executed by skilled interviewers. Out of 3,049 valid responses, a significant number reported experiencing symptoms of poor mental health, anxiety, depression, and insomnia, with prevalence rates of 21.2%, 9.7%, 14.1%, and 81.9%, respectively. Factors contributing positively to mental health and sleep included a higher family economic status, reduced stress from the pandemic, and decreased online activity. Conversely, lack of physical activity post-pandemic, disruptions to education and employment, and deteriorating relationships emerged as negative influencers. Interestingly, a lack of pre-pandemic mental health knowledge acted as a protective factor against insomnia. The ongoing management of COVID-19 has notably influenced the psychological and sleep health of vocational college students, driven by economic, emotional, lifestyle, and educational factors. The findings underscore the necessity for targeted interventions to address these challenges effectively.

KUALITAS TIDUR PADA MAHASISWA TINGKAT AKHIR (STUDI KASUS: PERBANDINGAN MAHASISWA PROGRAM STUDI ILMU ALAM DAN SOSIAL)

Sleep is one of the basic human needs and plays a role in physical and mental health and quality of life. Lack of sleep tends to cause decreased concentration, fatigue, and decreased productivity, and students tend to have poor sleep quality due to stress from lectures and writing a thesis. The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in sleep quality of students when writing a thesis which were reviewed based on the scientific field they had. This study used a quantitative method by using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) in Indonesian as a measurement sleep quality. The respondents in this study were 200 students obtained through purposive sampling techniques. The results showed that there was no difference in the sleep quality of final year students in the natural and social sciences. The level of stress felt by final year students in both scientific fields due to the pressure of the final thesis assignment seemed to be the reason why there was no difference in the quality of sleep they had.

0215 Targeting the Knowledge-Behavior Gap in Sleep: The Impact of Augmenting Sleep Education with Implementation Intentions

Abstract Introduction Sleep education programs are increasingly utilized in high schools and universities to address late bedtimes and poor sleep quality in students. While these programs successfully improve sleep knowledge, they often do not change sleep behaviors (e.g., bedtimes), especially during academically demanding/stressful periods. A potential method for bridging the knowledge-behavior gap in sleep is to augment sleep education with implementation intention formation (Education+II), an established goal-fulfillment strategy. We tested this intervention in a highly demanding context: students enrolled in organic chemistry classes. Methods Undergraduate students (N=101) completed baseline questionnaires and actigraphy monitoring before completing a standardized sleep education program (Sleep 101). Afterward, participants were randomly assigned to an Education-Only condition or an Education+II condition. In the Education+II condition, using standardized if-then verbalization and visualization techniques, participants formed specific plans to go to bed earlier for the next five school nights. Participants were sent text reminders to implement their specific plans; nightly texts were also sent to Education-Only participants, but they were asked to reply with an interesting fact about sleep they learned during the education program. Participants completed questionnaires at the end of the intervention period as well as during 1-month and 7-month follow-up periods. Results There were significant time-dependent improvements in total sleep time, global sleep quality, mood, and perceived stress across groups, suggesting benefits of receiving sleep education. Participants in the Education+II condition demonstrated earlier bedtimes than those in the Education-Only condition during the intervention phase (both actigraphy and self-report) and at least one month later. Forming an implementation intention did not improve organic chemistry grades on a group-level, but grades in non-chemistry courses were higher in Education+II participants who maintained earlier bedtimes (a correlational pattern specific to this condition). Conclusion Augmenting sleep education with implementation intentions successfully advanced bedtimes during a rigorous organic chemistry course. Implementation intentions are a no-cost technique that is easy to build into sleep education programs. Doing so will encourage individuals to turn their general intentions to get better sleep into actualizable steps that facilitate behavioral change.
