Abstract
I will be examining relationships between sleep quality, academic performance, and personality. Results showed that there was a negative correlation found between the PSQI score and conscientiousness (r = -.223) and between the PSQI score and emotional stability (r = -.445). There was no significant effect for the PSQI score t(76) = -1.6, p = .121, despite women (M = 8.06, SD = 3.49) attaining higher scores than men (M = 6.83, SD = 3.16). This study investigates whether there is a relationship between one’s sleep quality, personality traits, and academic performance.
- A negative relationship was found between sleep quality and conscientiousness and between sleep quality and emotional stability.
- No other significant relationships were found.
The results are similar to the findings by Alotaibi et al. (2020), who also found no significant relationship between academic performance and sleep quality. For further research, a bigger sample size would be preferred. A more reliable way of obtaining participants’ sleep quality would be better instead of using a self-reflection questionnaire.
