The current research aims to identify students' sleep quality in Baghdad university hostels, their academic performance, the relationship between sleep quality and academic performance, and differences in sleep quality and academic performance by gender. To achieve these objectives, the sleep quality scale developed by Yi (2006) and his colleagues (translated into Arabic) was administered to a random sample of 100 students residing in hostels at the University of Baghdad, 62 males and 38 females, in addition to the academic performance scale developed by researcher Israa Hussein based on the scale developed by Al-Maamouri (2018). After statistically analyzing the data using the independent samples t-test, Pearson's correlation coefficient, and Cronbach's alpha for reliability, the researchers concluded that the sleep quality of the research sample was higher than the hypothetical level of the scale. It was also found that there is a high level of academic performance among students in the hostels at the University of Baghdad. The relationship between sleep quality and academic performance is not statistically significant, indicating no statistically significant correlation between the two variables in the sample. Finally, there are no statistically significant differences in sleep quality or academic performance in terms of gender. This result indicates that males and females in the university residential environment are subject to similar conditions in terms of lifestyle, academic requirements, and time management.
