Abstract
Objective: The main objective of the present study was to investigate the association of risk factors on sleep quality of Bangladeshi university students.
Method: A total of 332 students participated in a cross-sectional structured interview study.
Result: Utilizing the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index, the overall prevalence of poor sleep quality among the students was 66.6%, and the prevalence was higher among the female students (81.4%). Females had a 4.1 times higher risk of having poor sleep quality (AOR = 4.12, 95% CI 2.15–7.86, p < .001). Students who usually slept less than 7 h at night had 8.4 times higher risk of being a poor sleeper (AOR = 8.41, 95% CI 4.42–16.01, p < .001) compared to those who slept 7 h or more at night. Duration of bedtime social media use was highly associated with poor sleep quality. Those who used social media 1 h or more before bedtime were 4.3 times more likely to have poor sleep quality compared to those who did not use social media at all before bedtime (AOR = 4.33, 95% CI 1.38–13.51, p = .012).
Conclusion: Prevalence of poor sleep quality was found very high among the Bangladeshi university students. Being female, having less sleep a night, and spending more than an hour using social media before sleep were independent predictors of poor sleep quality.
