Description
Summary:The present study aims to examine the relationship between perceived stress, sleep quality and academic achievement; and in order to find out the best predictor of sleep quality, stress and academic achievement. 150 University Malaysia Sarawak students participated in this study by answering a package of questionnaire that consists of perceived stress levels (Perceived Stress Questionnaire), sleep quality (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) and academic achievement (CGPA) variables using stepwise multiple regression. The results indicated that sleep quality and sleep duration are significant predictors of stress. Nonetheless, stress and sleep quality were unrelated to academic performance. Implications for university students and practitioners are discussed as well as promoting the importance of sufficient, better quality sleep for university students‟ health and well-being.
