Abstract
The purpose of this study is to measure quality of sleep (PSQI) and to investigate the affecting factors according to sex in college students. The participants in this study were 214 students from 4 universities. The data were analyzed by t-test, chi-square test and multiple regression using SPSS/WIN 24.0 program. The mean score of quality of sleep was 2.83, for male students are 2.70 and female students 3.06. In multiple regression analysis, physical stress, psychological stress and exercise were significant predictors and explained 25.4% of quality of sleep for male students. In female students, physical stress, psychological stress and drinking were significant predictors and explained 39.2% of quality of sleep. It is necessary to develop and apply education and counseling that can solve factors affecting the quality of sleep of college students.
