Abstract

This research intends to examine the connection between academic stress and the quality of sleep among college students in Indonesia. Students commonly encounter numerous academic pressures, such as significant workloads, exam-related stress, and high expectations for grades, which can result in extended periods of stress. If not properly managed, this stress may adversely impact various health aspects, particularly affecting sleep quality. Subpar sleep can hinder concentration levels, diminish motivation to study, and lower overall academic performance. The study utilized a quantitative correlational framework, engaging 100 participants who were selected randomly via an online survey. The analysis employed Pearson Product Moment correlation to investigate the strength of the association between academic stress and sleep quality. The results indicated that a majority of the students experienced considerable academic stress, with 88% feeling overwhelmed by their assignments and 91% expressing anxiety regarding examinations and assessments. This scenario showed a correlation with inadequate sleep quality, as 63% of participants reported not getting enough sleep, and 48% struggled with falling asleep. Additionally, the research discovered that the use of electronic devices prior to sleeping worsened students' sleep quality. In summary, the findings robustly support the notion that academic stress plays a significant role in diminishing students' sleep quality, and they highlight the necessity of stress management interventions, along with the encouragement of healthy sleeping practices, to bolster their academic and mental wellness.
