Sleep Quality | Internet Usage Patterns
This study explored how internet usage affects sleep quality among college students aged 18–22 . Using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), I found that over 53% of students reported poor sleep quality. Internet usage during both weekdays and weekends significantly worsened sleep duration, efficiency, and total sleep quality. The research highlights the urgent need for digital balance in student life and offers insight into how tech behavior impacts rest, focus, and well-being.
The visual presentation of the study emphasizes clarity and accessibility. Charts, data points, and statistical visuals were designed to help viewers interpret behavioral trends at a glance. The clean academic formatting makes the findings digestible while preserving rigor—bridging the gap between data and decision-making.
The research was conducted using structured psychometric tools and quantitative analysis. I processed data from 169 students using chi-square tests, t-tests, and Pearson correlations to identify trends between internet usage hours and key sleep parameters. The research pipeline was managed using digital forms, statistical software, and ethical collection practices.
Sleep is not just rest—it’s a reflection of mental balance and digital culture. This project investigates how modern internet habits silently shape college students’ physical and emotional health. It contributes to conversations around tech wellness, academic performance, and the need for sleep hygiene in a hyperconnected world.
