Prevalence of Disturb Sleep Cycle among University Students in Karachi: A Cross-Sectional Study
Sleep problems among university students are common Sleep deprivation can have a negative impact on academic performance, mental health, and overall well-being. A questionnaire was administered to assess sleep quality and sleep patterns. Data analyzing was done using both descriptive and inferential statistics. Multivariate logistic regressions were performed to identify predictors of poor sleep quality. These will cross-sectional survey which will be conducted through Pittsburg sleep quality index (PSQI). Data will be collected through convenience sample of 188 universities students through Power Analysis and Sample Size System (PASS), age ranging from 17 to 28 years both male and female. The factual investigation for our examination will be done by utilizing SPSS programming variant 29 for Windows. The confidence interval 95% and margin of error will be set at 5%. The qualities of the example would sum up utilizing means and standard deviations (SD) for nonstop factors and frequencies with percent-ages for unmitigated factors. The Questionnaire designed was Pittsburg sleep quality index (PSQI) for the evaluation of disturb sleep cycle among universities students in Karachi. Out of 188 participants, the research shows that, about 51.1% of the students got >7 hours of sleep, while also 18.1% of students got 5 hours of sleep daily. The majority of students face difficulty in falling asleep within 10 minutes of the time and took 30 minutes to fall asleep about 41.5% of the population. Deep sleep cycle have p-value is more than 0.05; hence homogeneity assumption of the variance is met have a mean that spread of data within each combination of factors should be roughly the same. Finally, the study shows the strong correlation in poor sleep latency among universities students in Karachi. Showing sleep duration of 5-6 hours and 30 minutes of sleep latency.
