The Correlation Between Insomnia & Student Status

The purpose of the study is to understand the correlation between insomnia and student status. Student status refers to a person being enrolled in a course of study. This project focused specifically on college level students for this research with the goal to understand the factors that relate to insomnia within college students. Other researchers have posed recommendations within their studies such as better health care within the universities, as well as better sleep habits. Throughout these studies, there were comparisons made between majors, general public v. student status, on which populations struggle more with insomnia-based symptoms. Understanding the correlation between insomnia and student status is important because overall, it benefits the students’ wellbeing and academic performance. Researchers collected data through a digital cross-sectional quantitative survey conducted between the years 2020, 2022 and 2024 with a total of 1,022 participants. The results identified that there is no significant correlation between student status and insomnia. Further studies would need to be introduced in order to identify other factors that may contribute to insomnia.
