“…In the presentation article, the SHI-13 showed acceptable internal consistency, Cronbach’s alpha of .66, high test-retest stability, r of .71 (p<.01), and acceptable nomological validity, with a modest high correlation with the Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS), r of .24 (p<.01) and adequate correlation with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, r of .48 (Mastin et al, 2006). These characteristics have been corroborated in other studies with the participation of university students, particularly internal consistency values, Cronbach’s alpha, or McDonald’s omega, less than .70 (Ali et al, 2021; Kaur & Singh, 2017; Seun-Fadipe et al, 2018; Tang et al, 2021). Generally, internal consistency values greater than .70 are recommended (Campo-Arias & Oviedo, 2008; Kezsei et al, 2010).…”

“…Likewise, nomological validity was limited because only factor 2 (cognitive activation) showed significant correlations, more excellent than .30, with the Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale (DASS-21) and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Consequently, the dimensions of the HSI-10 showed better internal consistency than that observed in other studies for the global SHI-13 (Ali et al, 2021; Kaur & Singh, 2017; Mastin et al, 2006; Seun-Fadipe et al, 2018; Tang et al, 2021).…”

“…Another limitation observed for the SHI-13 has been the poor reproducibility of dimensionality. Mastin et al (2006) did not explore the dimensionality of the SHI-13, and between three and six dimensions have been documented in different populations (Ali et al, 2021; Anwer et al, 2019; Seun-Fadipe et al, 2018; Tang et al, 2018; 2021). Theoretically, these disparities in the dimensions of the SHI-13 undermine the overall validity of the instrument and limit its usefulness in clinical and epidemiological studies (Streiner & Norman, 2008).…”

Background and purpose: A new version of the Sleep Hygiene Index (SHI-10) has recently been introduced, and the psychometric performance in other populations is unknown. This study aimed to determine the dimensionality, internal consistency, and nomological validity of the SHI-10 among medical students at a Colombian university. Methods: A psychometric study was designed to determine indicators of validity (construct and nomological) and reliability (internal consistency) in which 309 medical students between 18 and 39 years (M=20.83, SD=2.68) and 54.69% were female. Construct validity (dimensionality) was tested through confirmatory factor analysis, internal consistency with Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega coefficients, and nomological validity through correlations with the Athens Insomnia Scale, Epworth Somnolence Scale, Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD)-7) and Patient Health Questionnaire (PHQ-9). Results: The four-dimensional structure of the SHI-10 showed adequate indicators of goodness of fit (Satorra-Bentler's chi-square of 43.30 [df of 29, p=.04], chi-square/df of 1.49, RMSEA of .04 [90%CI .01-.06], CFI of .97, TLI of .96 and SRMR .04). The four dimensions of the SHI-10 showed values less than .70 and limited nomological validity (most Pearson correlations were less than .30). Conclusions: The SHI-10 shows a four-dimensional structure of SHI-10; however, the four dimensions of the SHI-10 present low internal consistency and limited nomological validity. More studies are needed to show the psychometric performance of the SHI-10.

Background Insomnia is a highly prevalent health problem, affecting about one-third of the adult population globally. University students are at a high risk for developing insomnia due to the stressful nature of academic life and often unhealthy sleeping habits. The aim of this study was to explore the prevalence of poor sleep quality and investigate sleep hygiene patterns among university students in Qatar. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted among university students using two validated instruments: the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Sleep Hygiene Index (SHI). Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including correlation and multivariate regression analyses. Results Two thousand and sixty-two students responded to the web-based survey. The mean PSQI score (7.57±3.03) was indicative of poor sleep quality in approximately 70% of the students. Similarly, the mean SHI score (21.79±6.69) was indicative of poor sleep hygiene patterns in 79% of the students. Academic program type, marital status, gender, and sleep hygiene significantly influenced sleep quality. After controlling for all possible covariates in the multiple regression analysis, sleep hygiene remained as the only factor significantly predicting sleep quality. Students with a good sleep hygiene were about four times more likely to have a good sleep quality compared to those with poor sleep hygiene (adjusted OR= 3.66, 95% CI= 2.8–4.8, p <0.001). Conclusion Poor sleep quality and inadequate sleep hygiene practices were highly prevalent among university students in Qatar. Sleep hygiene was found to be the only significant predictor of sleep quality such that those adopting healthy sleep hygiene practices were more likely to have better sleep quality. Interventions to raise awareness on the effect of sleep hygiene on sleep quality among university students are needed.

“…Evidence has shown that students' sleep hygiene practices are inadequate and worse than those of healthy adults. Commonly reported unhealthy sleep hygiene practices by university students are found to be irregular bedtimes, napping, use of stimulants, and use of electronic devices before bed (Ali et al, 2023). Psychological health problems among these students are also prevalent.…”

Sleep is an integral human need. A significant public health issue is getting little sleep, which harms health. University students are one of the groups most at risk for poor sleep quality and chronic sleep loss, which could influence both physical and mental health. Students frequently report having persistent sleep issues and may exhibit poor sleep hygiene habits. However, little research has investigated the role of good sleep habits concerning sleep quality and mental health. The present study explores the relationship between sleep hygiene, sleep quality, and mental health among university students. The research design was cross-sectional, and the sample was chosen using a non-probability convenience sampling strategy. Sample comprised of university students (N= 210). The scale of positive mental health, sleep hygiene index, and general sleep scale were used for data collection. Results revealed a significant correlation between sleep quality, sleep hygiene, and mental health among university students. Both sleep hygiene and quality were found to be significant predictors of positive mental health. A significant gender difference was found between sleep quality, sleep hygiene, and positive mental health among male and female university students. These findings can provide information about the link between the study variables and interventions for developing good sleep hygiene habits and quality of sleep amongst university students. It could help improve mental health among this at-risk population.
