Purpose: This study aimed to confirm mediating effects of academic self-efficacy in the relationship between academic stress and sleep quality among academic high school students.Methods: The participants included 195 academic high school students who were attending a private educational institution in the Gwangju or Pusan metropolitan city. Data were collected from September 1 to September 30, 2019. The data were analyzed using PROCESS macro SPSS/WIN 3.2 and bootstrapping was used to test the mediating effects.Results: There were significant relationships between sleep quality and academic stress (r=-.55, <i>p</i><.001), sleep quality and academic self-efficacy (r=.35, <i>p</i><.001), and academic stress and academic self-efficacy (r=-.16, <i>p</i><.020). Academic self-efficacy showed partial mediating effects in the relationship between academic stress and sleep quality.Conclusion: These findings suggest that the development of a program that improves the academic self-efficacy of academic high school students who are experiencing academic stress is a way to improve the quality of their sleep.
