Sleep problems, especially insomnia, are a common complaint among adults. International studies on university students have shown prevalence rates between 4.7% and 36.2% for sleep difficulties, and 13.1% and 28.1% for insomnia. Sleep problems are associated with lower social and academic performance and can have a severe impact on psychological and physical health.
The goal of this study was to outline sleep characteristics, prevalence of sleep problems, insomnia, and associations with self-efficacy among German university students.
A total of 2196 university students (70.9% women; mean age 24.16 years) participated in the study. Sleep characteristics, sleep problems, insomnia, and self-efficacy were assessed using a questionnaire.
Analyses revealed that more than 16% of surveyed students needed more than 30 minutes to fall asleep. About 7.7% of the students suffered from insomnia. Short sleep was significantly associated with a considerably increased rate of insomnia (20%). Insomniacs showed lower self-efficacy than students without sleep problems.
睡眠问题，尤其是失眠，在成年人中较为常见。国际上针对大学生的研究表明，睡眠困难的患病率在 4.7%至 36.2%之间，而失眠的患病率在 13.1%至 28.1%之间。睡眠问题与社交和学业表现下降有关，会对心理和身体健康产生严重影响。
本研究旨在概述德国大学生的睡眠特征、睡眠问题、失眠的患病率以及与自我效能感的关联。
共有 2196 名大学生（70.9%为女性；平均年龄 24.16 岁）参与了这项研究。使用问卷评估了睡眠特征、睡眠问题、失眠和自我效能感。
分析结果显示，超过 16%的被调查学生入睡需要超过 30 分钟。约 7.7%的学生患有失眠症。睡眠时间短与失眠症的发生率显著增加（20%）有关。失眠症患者的自我效能感明显低于没有睡眠问题的学生。
