Abstract
Research on the association between eating behaviour and sleep quality is crucial, particularly for university students who frequently have irregular eating and sleeping schedules. The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between eating behaviour and sleep quality among (n=179) undergraduate students of Universiti Sains Malaysia Kubang Kerian (USMKK), Kelantan. A cross-sectional study was conducted involving undergraduate students at USMKK. Participants completed the Adult Eating Behaviour Questionnaire (AEBQ) to rate their eating behaviour and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) to rate their quality of sleep. The study emphasises how intricate the relationship is between eating behaviour and sleep quality. Aspects of sleep quality are significantly correlated with tendencies toward eating behaviour. Results indicated that better sleep quality is linked to higher Food Responsiveness (r = 0.403, p < 0.001), suggesting healthier eating patterns. Longer sleep latency correlated with increased Emotional Under-Eating (r = 0.554, p < 0.001), indicating challenges with emotional eating. Habitual Sleep Efficiency is also positively correlated with appetite regulation. Additionally, sleep disturbances were associated with higher Food Responsiveness (r = 0.273, p < 0.001) and Emotional Under-Eating (r = 0.194, p = 0.009)., Comprehending these associations is important in formulating focused interventions that aim to enhance the quality of sleep and dietary practices, so potentially providing improved health consequences for populations impacted by sleep problems or irregularities.
