Sleep quality among university students in Lebanon during war conflicts: a cross-sectional study

This study highlights the profound impact of war exposure on sleep quality among Lebanese university students, with direct exposure having the greatest risk. Poor sleep quality in war-affected zones can lead to severe disruptions in academic performance, cognitive function, and overall mental and physical health. The findings underscore the need for targeted interventions, including mental health support and stress management programs, to limit sleep disturbances in conflict-affected populations. Further research is warranted to explore effective coping mechanisms and long-term sleep health in similar contexts.

Poor sleep quality in war-affected zones can lead to severe disruptions in academic performance, cognitive function, and overall mental and physical health. The findings underscore the need for targeted interventions, including mental health support and stress management programs, to limit sleep disturbances in conflict-affected populations. Further research is warranted to explore effective coping mechanisms and long-term sleep health in similar contexts.
