Abstract

Aims: This study aimed to investigate the association between academic procrastination and sleep quality amongst students. Additionally, this study investigated if demographic factors, age, gender, housing, degree level and degree discipline influenced the academic procrastination and sleep quality scores.

Method: A questionnaire in survey format was administered to participants (n=101) on social media platforms. The survey consisted of demographic questions regarding age, gender, living arrangements, degree level and degree discipline, and questions from the Perceived Procrastination scale – Academic Adaptation, and The Adolescent Sleep Quality scale.

Results: A positive moderate correlation was identified between academic procrastination and sleep quality. Sleep quality was the only variable found to be a significant predictor for academic procrastination. Academic procrastination and degree level were both found to significantly predict sleep quality.

Conclusion: Findings from this study provide an insight into the association between academic procrastination and sleep quality, and the demographic factors which influence these variables. These findings may highlight to policy makers the need to educate students on the correlation between academic procrastination and sleep quality.
