    (UMT.Lahore, 2020) Saman Irfan; Aleena Sohail; Sidra Fayyaz
    The purpose of current study was to understand the effect and relationship of sleep patterns on the mental health of young adults. It was hypothesized PSQI namely; subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep duration, use of sleep medication, day time dysfunction, sleep efficiency and sleep disturbance will have positive relationship among themselves and mental wellbeing. Mental health will have negative correlation with global PSQI. Mental health will predict global PSQI. It was a correlational (cross section) research. Non-probability convenient sample of 117 individuals’ boys=44 and girls=73 with the age range from 20-35 years (M = 1.64, SD =.60) was collected. Measurements included Pittsburgh sleep Quality index (Buysse, 1989) PSQI and The Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-being Scale (Ruth Tennant, 2007). The results of Pearson product moment correlation showed that overall Global Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (GPSQI) was correlated with mental well-being. Hierarchical Regression analysis results revealed that there was negative significant prediction among global Pittsburgh sleep quality index (GPSQI) and mental wellbeing. The study helps us understand the importance of sleep pattern and its impact on individual mental wellbeing.
