A number of empirical studies have established that insomnia, poor or inefficient sleep, can significantly impact physical and psychological well-being of college students, as well as interfere with their academic success. A major contributor to the experience of insomnia is that of persistent anxiety. In this study, we investigated the prevalence of insomnia in first-year college students, and explored the correlation between insomnia and trait anxiety. Data revealed a significant prevalence of insomnia in our sample (N = 100). There was also a strong correlation between trait anxiety and insomnia, in addition to a strong correlation between sleep-onset latency (e.g., pre-sleep experience) and sleep quality (e.g., post-sleep experience). Implications of the findings in addition to suggestions for improving students' sleep hygiene and quality are discussed.
