“…Although some work has been done to identify the relationship between sleep defi cits and their eff ects on academic performance ( Carskadon, 2004 ;Sexton-Radek & Graci, 2008 ;Sexton-Radek & Kaprelian, 2013 ), more work is needed.…”

College students regularly report increased sleep disturbances as well as concomitant reductions in performance (e.g., academic grades) upon entering college. Sleep hygiene refers to healthy sleep practices that are commonly used as first interventions in sleep disturbances. One widely used practice of this sort involves arranging the sleep environment to minimize disturbances from excessive noise and light at bedtime. Communal sleep situations such as those in college residence halls do not easily support this intervention. Following several focus groups, a questionnaire was designed to gather self-reported information on sleep disturbances in a college population. The present study used The Young Adult Sleep Environment Inventory (YASEI) and sleep logs to investigate the sleep environment of college students living in residential halls. A summary of responses indicated that noise and light are significant sleep disturbances in these environments. Recommendations are presented related to these findings.

“…The time bias of collecting the data between both variables highly likely affects the results of our research. As such, the results of research on path b is conflicting to the results of the previous research which found that sleep quality has an effect on students' academic achievement (Radek & Kaprelian, 2013), therefore conducting similar research by taking account of the conformity of the time of data collection between the two variables under study is highly recommended.…”

“…The findings of Radek & Kaprelian (2013) and Marques, Meia-Via, da Silva, & Gomes (2017) revealed that students are inclined to having poor sleep quality which may subsequently lead to a decline in health and psychological wellbeing (Pilcher, Ginter & Sadowsky, 1997). Poor sleep quality has a significant effect on the quality of life from the aspects of physical, psychological and quality of the environment (Marques et al, 2017).…”

Does Sleep Quality Serve as a Mediator Between Well-Being and Academic Achievement?

The transition from high school to college "forces" freshmen students to lead a brand new life until they eventually manage to adapt to the new environment and all its activities. Freshmen students who failed to adapt themselves to the environment will face various problems including the degradation of well-being which consequently affects their academic achievement and gets worse when it affects their sleep quality. This expost facto research design aims to examine whether sleep quality serves as a mediator between well-being and academic achievement. The participants comprise 231 freshmen students of a public university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia for the academic year 2017. They were collected using multilevel randomization conducted on seven existing University faculties. The data were collected using Positive Affect and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), Life Satisfaction, and Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and were analyzed using multiple regression technique. The results of the analysis demonstrated that sleep quality does not significantly mediate the relationship between well-being and academic achievement of freshmen students. However, this research found that the negative affect which constitutes a component of well-being significantly results in poor sleep quality. Therefore, it is highly recommended to improve well-being through prevention on the development of negative affect on students.

“…review of Dewald et al, 2010). It has been found in 'emerging adults' (i.e., adults between 18-25 years old) that sleep quality is related to academic performance; specifically, lower sleep quality is related to lower academic performance (Radek & Kaprelian, 2013). This is of interest, as the current study also includes these so-called 'emerging adults'.…”

Research in traditional education shows chronotype, sleep duration and sleep quality to be related to learning performance. Research in adult students participating in distance education (DE) is scarce. This study aims to provide knowledge on these relationships in this educational setting. In an observational longitudinal study, chronotype, sleep duration (i.e., for work and free days separately) and sleep quality of 894 students were analyzed in a multiple regression analyses. Students provided information on sleep-related measures and important covariates at the start of their study and study progress was evaluated after 14 months (i.e., the number of successfully completed modules). In line with previous research, chronotype did not predict study progress. Further, sleep duration did not predict study progress, neither as a linear nor as a polynomial term.Third, sleep quality did not predict study progress. Concluding, these results are in line with previous research that DE provides a solution to the asynchrony problem. Findings regarding sleep duration and sleep quality are new and unexpected, asking for attention and further research. Despite the study's observational nature, findings suggest that students participating in DE may benefit from this type of education as the asynchrony problem appears not to apply here, as students can choose their own study schedule.
