Abstract

Sleeping behavior of undergraduates is worrying, and the first-hand data of sleeping behavior disorders and related stress and sleeping environment factors are still lacking, and no systematic analysis has been formed. This study focuses on the investigation and analysis of the sleeping behavior disorder, stress and sleeping environment of college students. 1,305 undergraduates were investigated by using the method of online questionnaire and sleeping behavior disorders and related stress and sleeping environment were analyzed. The gender ratio and grade distribution of the respondents were balanced. The body mass index (BMI) was within the normal range (57.4), and only 45.9% of the participants reported being in good health. College students generally experience significant psychological stress. Among them, 60.66% of the respondents reported frequently feeling sad or irritable recently. 43.43% of the students reported that these pressures led to irregular sleeping patterns, and 74.42% of the students reported that snoring was common. 68.19% of the students reported that they occasionally or often felt sleepingy during the daytime. In terms of noise disturbance, 40.99% of the students reported that they occasionally or frequently had difficulty falling asleeping or maintaining sleeping due to environmental noise. A significant correlation exists between psychological stress, bedroom environment, and sleeping disorders among college students, which highlights the necessity of developing comprehensive intervention strategies.
