Abstract

The cross-sectional correlation quantitative research is about the exploration of the relationship among sleep quality, lucid dreaming skills, and anxiety preoccupation about sleep in Pakistani university students. Aim. To measure the adult sleep quality, lucid dreaming, and anxiety and preoccupation about sleep among university students. Method. The study design used in this research is convenience sampling. A sample of 61 students from which 34% constituted males and 43% were females with age statistics (M=22.2, SD=4.5) from private Pakistani university. Adult Sleep Quality (Fortunato et al., 2008), Lucid Dreaming (Schredl, 2002), and Preoccupation and Anxiety about Sleep (Harvey, 2011) were used for measuring these constructs. Results. The findings indicated a moderate correlation of adult sleep quality with lucid dreaming (r=.140 , p<.05), anxiety, and preoccupation with sleep (r=.248, p<.05). The study also indicated that there is no impact of age, income, or gender on adult sleep quality, lucid dreaming, anxiety, and preoccupation about sleep. Hence, no post hoc was estimated. Conclusion. There is an insignificant relationship between adult sleep quality, lucid dreaming, anxiety, and preoccupation with sleep. There is a need to research more on sleep studies.
