Relationship between Sleep Quality and Health Risk Behaviors in Undergraduate College Students
Vail-Smith, Karen; Felts, W. Michael; Becker, Craig
College Student Journal, v43 n3 p924-930 Sep 2009
The Sleep Quality Index (SQI) and the Centers for Disease Control's National College Health Risk Survey (NCHRS) were administered to 859 undergraduates at a large southeastern university. Results indicated that 76.6% reported occasional sleep problems and 11.8 % experienced poor sleep quality. Among the problems reported, "general morning tiredness" (82%) and "insomnia" (28%) were the most common. Certain health risk behaviors appear to be associated with poor sleep quality including fighting, suicide ideation, smoking, and alcohol use. Implications and limitations of the study are identified.
