Background: Problematic Internet use (PIU) is the inability of individuals to control their Internet use, resulting in marked distress and/or functional impairment in daily life. Aim/Objective: We assessed the frequency of PIU and predictors of PIU, including social anxiety disorder (SAD), quality of sleep, quality of life and Internet-related demographic variables among school going adolescents. Methods: This was an observational, single-centered, cross-sectional, questionnaire-based study of 1,312 school going adolescents studying in Grades 10, 11 and 12 in Bhavnagar, India. Every participant was assessed by a pro forma containing demographic details, questionnaires of Internet Addiction Test (IAT), Social Phobia Inventory (SPIN), Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS) for PIU severity, SAD severity, Quality of Sleep assessment and Quality of Life assessment, respectively. The statistical analysis was done with SPSS Version 23 (IBM Corporation) using chi-square test, Student’s t test and Pearson’s correlation. Multiple linear regression analysis was applied to find the predictors of PIU. Results: We found frequency of PIUs as 16.7% and Internet addiction as 3.0% among school going adolescents. Participants with PIU are more likely to experience SAD ( p < .0001), poor quality of sleep ( p < .0001) and poor quality of life ( p < .0001). There is positive correlation between severity of PIU and SAD ( r = .411, p < .0001). Linear regression analysis shows PIU can be predicted by SAD, sleep quality, quality of life, English medium, male gender, total duration of Internet use, monthly cost of Internet use, education, social networking, gaming, online shopping and entertainment as purpose of Internet use. Conclusion: Participants with PIU are more likely to experience SAD, poor quality of sleep and poor quality of life.

Background: The social networks are used today as one of the important tools in establishing communication between people. In addition to the advantages, it can also have several disadvantages and problems, the negative effects of which can be seen on the academic performance of students. Objective: This study was designed to investigate the role of excessive use of virtual social networks on the academic performance of Bamyan University students with a mediating role of quality of sleep. Methodology: The present study has a descriptive-correlational design. A total of 180 Bamyan University students (90 male and 90 female) were selected by convenience sampling method and responded to the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Questionnaire (Buysee et al., 1989), Yang Internet and Social Network Addiction Questionnaire, Demographic Questions, and GPA of last semester. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlation test and hierarchical regression analysis by means of SPSS-24. Results: The results showed that the excessive use of social networks had a significant negative correlation with academic performance and predicts it inversely (T = -9.338, ß = - 730) and There is also a significant relationship between excessive use of social networks and quality of sleep (T = 15.726, ß = .763). There was a significant relationship between social and sleep quality (T = 15.726, ß = .763). But sleep quality could not play a mediating role between excessive use of social networks and students' academic achievement and showed that this relationship is not significant (T = -. 174, ß = -. 014). Conclusion: Excessive use of social networks has negative effects on students' academic achievement and quality of sleep. For this purpose, it is necessary to manage the use of social networks for optimal use in order to achieve high academic achievement and good quality of sleep.

Abstract Background: Sufficient and restorative sleep is important to mental and physical wellbeing. The university education as an undergraduate is stressful and can have detrimental effects on the mental state of the students leading to poor sleep quality and stress, requiring use of coping strategies. This study is aimed to identify the prevalence and the correlation between sleep quality, stress and coping among university students.Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted in a University in Sri Lanka among 200 participants from five selected faculties. A self-administered questionnaire, Pittsburg Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), Depression Stress Anxiety Scale-21(DASS 21) and brief COPE inventory was administered using consecutive random sampling to the participants. The results were analyzed using SPSS 20.0 with one-way ANOVA and Pearson correlations.Results: 82.5% (n= 165) of subjects reported poor sleep quality. There was a positive strong correlation between sleep quality and stress (r=0.526, p=0.000). Among the poor sleepers, 57.6% (n= 95) were stressed. The stress was positively correlated with self-blame, planning, denial and emotional support in the COPE inventory. The correlation with quality of sleep with coping strategies was statistically significant. The highest mean of global PSQI score (10.33± 4.202) was observed among students from Law faculty with 95% experienced poor sleep quality. The highest correlation between sleep quality and stress among students from medical faculty (r= 0.614**, p= 0.000) while the highest percentage of students, 61.9% were stressed. Conclusions: The majority of university undergraduates were affected with poor quality of sleep and stress. The students use various coping strategies to cope with stress. There was a strong relationship between sleep quality, stress and coping. The sleep quality depended on stress as well coping strategies effected on sleep quality. This study highlights the importance of focused interventions on quality of sleep, stress and coping among university students.
