Abstract

Students frequently struggle with extended periods of stress, erratic schedules, and the need to achieve design deadlines as the demands of architecture school increase. The complex relationship between architectural students’ psychological well-being and sleep quality is examined in this study. The psychological well-being construct is built around the affective and cognitive evaluations of one’s life. Sleep quality is defined as one’s satisfaction with the sleep experience, which integrates aspects of sleep quantity, sleep initiation, sleep maintenance and awakening refreshment. The sample consisted of architecture students from various universities (N= 100) from urban areas and the data was collected using Ryff Psychological Well- Being Scale and Sleep Quality Scale. The sampling was based on convenience and snowball sampling method. The results showed that there is a significant relationship between pwb and sleep quality and its dimensions. This research adds to the increasing amount of information highlighting the significance of sleep as a vital component in maintaining psychological health. Educators and administrators can improve the mental health and academic performance of architecture students by implementing tailored interventions based on the identification of modifiable factors that influence sleep quality.
