The hostellers and non- hostellers have been assessed upon seven factors by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index developed by Buysse (1988) which mainly play the role in the sleep hygiene of the students.

Results shows hostellers have poor sleep hygiene as compared to non- hostellers, in hostellers female have poor sleep as compared to males, in non- hosteller’s females have poor sleep over males.
