Müslüman toplumların dini pratiklerinden biri olan Ramazan ayında tutulan oruç, bireylerin günlük yaşamlarını çeşitli şekillerde etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, üniversite öğrencilerinin Ramazan ayında çevrimiçi eğitim sürecindeki uyku alışkanlıklarını incelemektir. Türkiye'deki iki üniversiteden yetmiş dört üniversite öğrencisi, Ramazan öncesi ve sonrasında Pittsburgh Uyku Kalitesi İndeksi (PSQI) kullanılarak değerlendirilmiştir. Sonuçlar, Ramazan ayında öznel uyku kalitesi, uyku gecikmesi, uyku bozuklukları, gündüz işlev bozukluğu ve genel uyku kalitesinde (global PSQI skoru) anlamlı bir bozulma olduğunu göstermiştir. Bununla birlikte, uyku süresi, alışılmış uyku verimliliği ve uyku ilacı kullanımında önemli bir değişiklik gözlenmemiştir. Bulgular, Ramazan ayında üniversite öğrencilerinin uyku hijyenini desteklemek için özel stratejilere duyulan ihtiyacın altını çizmektedir.

Anahtar Kelimeler

RAMADAN AND SLEEP: AN EXAMINATION OF SLEEP PATTERNS AMONG UNIVERSITY STUDENTS

Öz

Fasting during Ramadan, one of the Muslim societies' religious practices, affects individuals' daily lives in various ways. The aim of this study was to examine the sleep habits of university students during the online education process during Ramadan. Seventy-four university students from two universities in Turkey were evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) before and after Ramadan. The results indicated a significant deterioration in subjective sleep quality, sleep latency, sleep disturbances, daytime dysfunction, and overall sleep quality (global PSQI score) during Ramadan. However, no significant changes were observed in sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, and sleep medication usage. The findings underline the need for tailored strategies to support university students' sleep hygiene during Ramadan.
