    Relationship Between Sleep Quality and Perceived Stress among Undergraduates of a Selected Nonstate Sector Higher Education Institute in Sri Lanka
    (School of Nursing, Faculty of Humanities and Sciences, SLIIT, 2025-10-10) Anthony, K; Wijedasa, H; Samarasinghe, C; Gunawardhana, S; Wanigasinghe, H; De Silva, D
    Sleep is a fundamental determinant of health, and good sleep quality is positively linked to overall wellbeing. Stress, as a physiological response, can adversely affect health when experienced at high or prolonged levels. Due to various reasons, undergraduates often have poor sleep quality and a high level of stress. Therefore, it is important to assess the relationship between sleep quality and perceived stress level among undergraduate students in Sri Lanka. This study was conducted to assess the relationship between perceived stress and sleep quality among undergraduates in a selected non-state sector higher educational institute in the country.

    Perceived Stress as a Predictor of Sleep Quality in Undergraduates: A Cross-Sectional Study
    (Faculty of Humanities and Sciences, SLIIT, 2023-11-01) Jayasena, M; Abeysinghe, N
    Research spanning several years has explored the topic of perceived stress among university students. Globally, investigations consistently highlight that undergraduates encounter escalated levels of perceived stress during their academic journey, often attributed to the intricate interplay between their physical, social, and emotional well-being. The transition to an unfamiliar lifestyle, coupled with the demands of academia and evolving familial dynamics, contributes substantially to heightened stress levels. Sleep disruptions and compromised sleep quality emerge as prevalent issues for a considerable number of undergraduates. Recent studies conducted in Sri Lanka underscore a noteworthy upswing in perceived stress among local undergraduates within the last decade. This study undertakes an exploration into the intricate connection between perceived stress and sleep quality within the context of a nonstate Sri Lankan university. Employing quantitative research methods, data was gathered from a cohort of 125 participants, (83 female, 39 male,3 LGBTQ) from the Humanities and Sciences faculty. The perceived stress scale, K10 and the Pittsburgh sleep quality index were used to collect the data. According to the results, participant’s gender has no influence on perceived stress levels, but does affect sleep quality in undergraduates (U = 103.0, p = .033), with males reporting lower sleep quality than females. This finding highlights the need for targeted interventions to reduce stress and improve sleep quality among undergraduates.
