Sleep Quality on Mental Health among Young Adults

Abstract

A person’s contentment with their sleep experience is measured by their ability to fall asleep, stay asleep, get enough sleep, and feel rested when they wake up. A person’s total psychological well-being, which includes their emotional, behavioral, and social functioning, is referred to as their mental health. It contains the capacity to control and deal with stress, uphold wholesome relationships, and render significant social contributions. Depression is a mental health condition marked by protracted sorrow, hopelessness, and lack of interest in once-enjoyable activities. A mental health illness called anxiety is characterized by excessive concern, fear, or trepidation over commonplace events, people, or things. The body’s reaction to a perceived threat or challenge, whether genuine or imagined, is referred to as stress. It may be brought on by different physical, emotional or psychological triggers including work stress, marital concerns, money problems, or health issues. This study aimed to understand “Sleep Quality on Mental Health among Young Adults”. 100 adults aged between 18 to 25 years were selected through convenient sampling from social media platforms for being a part of the study sample. Pearson’s correlation and t test was administered. It was found that sleep quality has a significant negative correlation with depression, anxiety, and stress. The results also show that there is no significant difference in sleep quality based on gender.
