Decent sleep hygiene is the ability to get a good night's rest without interruption or interruptions.

A good night's sleep may be aided by a comfortable bedroom and the everyday luxuries that one
enjoys (Cherney, 2015). Even in the business and the community, excellent sleep hygiene has
several advantages, including a healthy mental and physical condition as well as increased
productivity and efficiency in both individuals and groups. According to Simsek (2014), Young
people are predominantly influenced by social media, which implies they spend the majority of
their time online. As a consequence of the effect of social media, many people have lost track of
the passage of time and maybe easily identified as having gone days without sleeping (Simsek,
2014). The importance of good sleep hygiene cannot be overstated for a person's health and well-
being. Without enough sleep, performance suffers, motivation wanes, and even the desire to
work becomes difficult (Irish et al., 2015).

Good sleep hygiene is a combination of a person's sleeping environment and their behaviors
while in bed. The bedroom and how you sleep is referred to as the surroundings (Irish et al.,
2015). Free of interruptions, a good night's sleep may be enhanced by sleeping on a comfortable
bed with clean bedding (Cherney, 2019).

There are more female college students with poor sleep quality than there are male students,
according to Obonyo. When it comes to women's sleep problems, one theory is that hormonal
changes associated with puberty, such as insomnia during menstruation, are partly to blame.
However, the rising use of electronic devices (such as cell phones) may also do with the problem
(Hysing et al., 2015; Liu et al., 2018). Another research found that female teenage pupils were
more affected by smartphone usage than their male counterparts (Yang S.-Y. et al., 2018). Long-
term internet use among college students may be explained by their devices' quick internet
connection, which allows for a wide range of entertainment and social activities to take place
(e.g., online games, movies, and social media).

As far as internet-related sleep disturbances are concerned, research including 4,750 teenagers
found that girls had a higher risk than boys (Yang J. et al., 2018). Female college students' worse
quality of sleep is a critical problem, especially in light of recent research showing that they are
more prone than males to get addicted to the internet (Chiu et al., 2013). The association between
internet usage and the quality of their sleep among female college students should be studied
further. The purpose of this study was to investigate the link between Internet addiction and sleep
deprivation in female college students and if there are differences in sleep quality among
students with different levels of internet use.

Also, The everyday routines of the day and night also have an impact on one's ability to obtain a
good night's sleep, as if you've been working or exercising all day, you're more likely to fall
asleep easily at night (Cherney, 2019). Diet is an integral part of the routine, and the ingredients
in foodstuffs significantly contribute to poor sleeping patterns. As a result of a lack of focus on
healthy behaviors among the younger generation, many individuals are afflicted by sickness and
sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation may result from the use of caffeine-heavy beverages, such
as coffee.

The way young people use their free time and the information they consume has been radically
altered by the emergence of the internet and new technologies (Polond, 2012). There is evidence
that many young individuals lack excellent sleep habits, according to Cherney (2019).
Deplorable sleep hygiene is defined by daytime tiredness, erratic sleep quality and amount, as
well as the most frequent difficulty falling asleep.

Because of technological advancements, it's becoming more difficult for teens and young people
to organize their lives and maintain healthy habits, such as proper sleep hygiene (Armstrong et
al., 2000). Many adolescent males and females use social media sites like Facebook, WhatsApp,
Instagram, and YouTube to watch movies and read articles in their spare time. There is a lot of
intriguing material to be discovered on these sites, as well as a wealth of information (Polond,
2012).

In spite of the importance of excellent sleep hygiene, people's lifestyles, occupations, and
personal preferences differ widely (Irish et al., 2015). Because everyone's sleeping habits are
unique, they need to experiment with a variety of approaches to good sleep hygiene. According
to Rubington (2010), individuals must determine what they want or need to have a healthy
lifestyle. Good sleep hygiene may also play an essential part in the growth and development of a
person as well as their productivity (Rubinton, 2010). Doing this makes it simpler to develop and
implement healthy and practical habits that work for the person and lead to a good night's rest.

A healthy sleep pattern is one in which a person is able to fall asleep quickly, stays sleeping for
most of the night without waking up, and wakes up feeling rested (Suni, 2020). The inability to
get a good night's sleep isn't normal for anybody, no matter their age or circumstance. The length
of time needed by each individual varies, depending on their age and stage of life (Medic et al.,
2017). The elderly and youngsters fall asleep so effortlessly compared to teens and adults.

Many factors, including the internet, drugs, medicine, and social life, might impact young
people's sleep patterns in today's culture (Simsek, 2014). Physical and mental confusion may
lead to sleeplessness, which can hinder a person's productivity since they will be stressed out.
Some people's sleep habits may be affected by pauses in breathing because they have to work
harder to breathe in, and this may result in a lack of sleep (Suni, 2020).
Their sleep habits influence a young adult's quality of life. Nightmares might disrupt people's
sleep patterns because they stay up the majority of the night to fend off the monsters they fear. It
is common for young people to get up many times a night to use the restroom. It is possible that
frequent nighttime toilet visits are a consequence of youngsters' social habits, which lead them to
consume excessive amounts of fluids and alcohol and compel them to do so (Suni, 2020).

There may be long-term health repercussions, physiological consequences, and poor hygiene
habits as a result of poor sleep patterns in young people. According to Medic et al. (2017),
unhealthy sleeping habits may have short- and long-term consequences, depending on how you
address them. In the short term, sleep deprivation may cause various issues, such as daytime
sleepiness and moodiness (Medic et al., 2017). As a result of a lack of sleep, young people may
find it challenging to get out of bed in the morning. The reason is an organ that takes a lot of rest
in order to function correctly. Thus, a person is constantly on guard (Cherney 2019).

A lack of sleep as a young adult might lead to a deterioration in one's memory. A person's ability
to think, recall details, and absorb information might be negatively impacted by a lack of sleep
(Medic et al., 2017). A minimum of seven hours of sleep every night is required for a young
adult. The quality of a young adult's life improves due to being able to engage in everyday
activities and maintain a healthy social life without the distractions of cell phones and other
devices.
