The Impact of Sleep Education on Sleep Quality, Emotional Regulation, and Impulsivity among Undergraduates

Abstract

This research study assessed the Impact of Sleep Education on the Sleep Quality, Emotional Regulation, and Impulsivity among Undergraduate college students. The participants (N=10) were assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the Difficulties in Emotional Regulation Questionnaire and Barrat Impulsiveness Scale before and after a Sleep Education program with a 20-day span to see the effects of the intervention. The participants were all undergraduate students who were studying in Bangalore. The participants maintained a Sleep Report for the first 4 days and the last 5 days of the 20-day period. The findings show that there is a significant difference in Sleep Quality before and after the intervention (t = 3.803, p<.005). There was no significant difference in Emotional Regulation and Impulsivity before and after the intervention.
