The results of Pearson correlation test also showed that there was a significant negative relationship between Sleep quality with academic engagement (P=0/016, r= -0/132), and academic vitality (P=0/000, r= -0/221). Although, there was a significant positive relationship between academic motivation with academic vitality (P=0/018, r=0/131).
