Abstract
Sleep is an essential component of an individual's day-to-day routine. It affects our quality of life, functionality, and motivation in occupations. Not getting enough sleep can lead to various health problems such as increased risk of stroke, heart disease, depression, and other chronic health problems (National Heart, Lung, & Blood Institute, 2022). With this, there is a lack of research done on adults between the ages of 20-34, particularly the college student population. Since this age group makes up most of the workforce, more research is needed to determine the factors affecting sleep in this population. This study was directed toward determining what factors affect sleep in college students. We recruited Stanbridge University students by email. We designed and circulated a survey via Google Forms that consisted of a Likert scale and open-ended questions that followed trends seen in our literature review to be common factors affecting sleep in adults. After completion of the survey, study findings showed that increased stress, high technology use, and studying/college assignments were the main themes that were seen to negatively affect participants' quality and duration of sleep.
