摘要

This study investigated the relationship between sleep quality (SQ) and emotional intelligence (EI) among Bangladeshi university students, with a particular focus on the predictive role of SQ. EI, defined as the ability to recognize and manage emotions, plays a key role in stress management and well-being. SQ, an important determinant of mental and physical health, may influence emotional regulation and cognitive functioning, thereby affecting EI. The study included 266 university students (102 males, 164 females) from various regions of Bangladesh, with data collected using the Bengali versions of the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) and the Emotional Intelligence Scale (EIS). Pearson correlation analysis revealed a significant moderate negative correlation (r = − 0.417, p < 0.01) between EI and PSQI scores, indicating that poorer SQ is associated with lower EI. Regression analysis further demonstrated that SQ significantly predicted EI (β = −0.423, p < 0.001), accounting for 17.4% of the variance in EI. Socio-demographic factors such as education level, socioeconomic status, and residential area did not significantly influence EI or SQ. These findings suggest that SQ is an important factor associated with EI among university students. Interventions aimed at improving SQ may contribute to better emotional functioning and overall well-being. However, causal inferences cannot be made due to the cross-sectional design.
