This study focuses on understanding and improving sleep health among university students through a psychoeducational intervention. It aims to identify the psychological and social factors affecting students' sleep and to implement an intervention that could potentially enhance their sleep quality. University students often face challenges with maintaining healthy sleep due to academic pressures and lifestyle habits. By exploring these factors, the study seeks to develop effective strategies to prevent sleep issues and promote better sleep health, which is crucial for students' overall well-being and academic performance. Participants in this study will undergo a three-week psychoeducational program designed to improve their sleep habits. This program includes various sessions, which are conducted face-to-face, facilitated by trained instructors, and supported by teaching materials like manuals. The study evaluates how well participants understand and follow the program, as well as the practicality of the sessions, including the venue, group size, and length of sessions. While the main focus is not directly on measuring specific outcomes, the feedback collected will help refine and enhance the intervention for future use, ensuring it is accessible and relevant to the students' needs.

Treatment Groups
Study Objectives

2 intervention groups are designated in this study

This study does not include a placebo group 

Treatment Groups

Group I

Experimental
Participants assigned to the intervention group will receive first the intervention. They will complete various assessment at baseline (T0), post-intervention after the 3 weeks of intervention (T1), and 3 months after the end of the intervention (T2).

Group II

Experimental
Participants assigned to the waitlist control group complete a baseline assessment (T0), a second assessment after 3 weeks of waiting (T1), and then receive the intervention. They are assessed again after the intervention (T2) and at 3-month follow-up (T3). This design allows for pre- and post-intervention comparisons while ensuring delayed access to the program.
