Introduction: Sleep is a physiological process that occurs with the temporary, partial, and periodic loss of the organism's communication with the environment. The need for sleep is affected by factors such as age, gender, illness, physical activity, emotional state, drugs, environment, and alcohol use. The processes in which unexpected events occur (infectious disease, fire, earthquake, etc.) are among the other factors that affect sleep quality by creating anxiety and fear. Such situations, which affect sleep quality, cause individuals to encounter difficulties in their daily lives.
