Abstract:
The study aimed to understand the relationship between Sleep Quality and Depressive symptoms Among Young Adults of India. The data was collected from 310 participants aged between 18 to 27 years through convenience sampling. Sleep quality was assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), while depressive symptoms were measured using the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI). The analysis revealed a significant positive correlation (r = 0.661, p < 0.001) between PSQI and BDI scores, indicating a meaningful relationship between sleep quality and depressive symptoms. Individuals with poorer sleep quality tended to report higher levels of depressive symptoms, and vice versa. This finding underscores the bidirectional association between sleep disturbances and depression.
