Abstract
A descriptive study. It was conducted in Al-Muthanna Governorate among university students. The study aimed to know the sleep status of students in addition to finding a statistically significant relationship with demographic information variables. The study continued from 20/10/2022 to 20/10/2023. The results of the study showed that the majority of the research sample suffers from lack of sleep, as the percentage was (77%) of the total study sample, and also the presence of a statistically significant relationship with all demographic variables except for the gender variable, as it showed no relationship, in addition to the fact that the majority of students use stimulants such as coffee and tea. The research study concluded that the majority of students who have lack of sleep must reduce stimulants, organize daily schedules, and control stress. The study recommended working to increase awareness among students through educational programs that contribute to reducing negative activities among students and maintaining their physical and psychological health.
