“…The PSQI has high test-retest reliability and good validity in the psychometric evaluation. [50][51][52] The present study was utilized for the Arabic version of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index,which developed by Suleiman et al, [53] using back translation technique and psychometrically tested in different studies [53,54] which confirmed its validity and reliability for measuring sleep disturbances among Arabic clinical population.…”

Background and objective: Better quality and adequate amount of sleep are essential to have better cognitive performance and by contrast, poor bedrest is related to a diminishing of cognitive and psychological functioning and deteriorating physical health. Recently the quality of sleep among various segments of the population has become a focus of continuous research and investigations, where insufficient sleep may lead to adverse cardio-metabolic effects by influencing body weight, blood pressure, and glucose tolerance. The objective of this study is to explore the associations between sleep patterns and Body Mass Index (BMI) among undergraduate female students in health colleges. Methods: Across-sectional study was utilized among 288 of undergraduate female students who represent 30% of all undergraduate students in health Colleges of female section, Qassim University. The data regarding their sleeping pattern was collected and calculated by using a validated self-report questioner (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) and Body Mass. Results: According to PSQI scoring, both categories good and poor sleep maximum according to PSQI scoring; both categories good sleep and poor sleep maximum participant's BMI was normal but no statistically significant association was seen between BMI of poor sleep was higher in overweight and obese participants from all departments and also no statistically significant association was seen between poor sleep and body mass index of participant As for the sleep quality as a single question and sleep duration in relation to BMI for different specialties, only for nursing students there was a statistically significant difference of sleep quality/duration in relation to their BMI. Conclusions: Frequency of poor sleep was higher in overweight and obese participants but as per findings there was no statistically significant association was detected between PSQI score and BMI of participants.

“…24,58 However, it is important to note the borderline internal consistency reliability (α = .65) of the PSQI measure. Even though similar alpha levels (e.g., α = .65-.69) have recently been reported for the PSQI in other published studies 78,79 and an alpha of .65 is considered “minimally acceptable”, 80 it is nonetheless important to interpret findings with this in mind. Finally, even though high levels of stress are the strongest predictor of poor sleep quality among college students, 7 no measures of negative affect or stress were included in this study.…”

Objective Sleep problems and alcohol misuse are common issues experienced by college students that can have detrimental effects on overall health. Previous work indicates a strong relationship between poor sleep quality and alcohol risk in this population. This study explored the moderating effect of drinking motives in the relationship between global sleep quality and experience of alcohol-related negative consequences. Participants College students (N = 1,878) who reported past-month drinking. Methods Participants completed online surveys assessing sleep and alcohol-related behaviors. Results Poorer sleep quality and higher drinking motives (coping, conformity, and enhancement) predicted greater alcohol-related consequences, controlling for drinking. Further, coping motives moderated the relationship between sleep quality and consequences such that participants reporting poor sleep and high coping motives experienced heightened levels of consequences. Conclusions These findings advance the understanding of the relationship between sleep problems and alcohol-related risk and provide implications for targeted campus-based health promotion interventions.

“…Poor sleep quality may be due to physical illness, side effects of medications, psychiatric disorders (such as depression, anxiety disorder, insomnia, schizophrenia), or use of psychoactive substances [3][4][5][6]. Poor sleep quality and sleep disturbances can adversely impact quality of life by reducing productivity at the workplace and by making social activities less enjoyable [3]. Thus, assessment of sleep quality is important for a wide range of clinical and behavioral research and for practitioners of medicine and psychology.…”
