Association between psychological well-being, sleep quality, and academic performance among physical therapy students

Poor sleep quality was highly prevalent among physiotherapy students, while flourishing levels remained generally high but unrelated to academic performance. After adjusting for gender and institutional factors, regression analysis demonstrated that sleep duration and frequent use of sleep medication were significant predictors of lower GPA. These findings suggest that sleep health may be associated with academic outcomes among physiotherapy students. Future studies are needed to examine whether sleep-hygiene interventions could support academic performance in this population.
