With the popularization of higher education and the intensification of academic competition, the academic pressure faced by college students is increasingly prominent, becoming one of the important factors affecting their physical and mental health. Studies have shown that there is a common problem of varying degrees of academic pressure among college students, which not only affects their academic performance but also has a negative impact on their sleep quality ^[1,2]. Sleep, as an important guarantee for the physical and mental health of college students, its decline in quality can lead to problems such as inattention, memory loss, and emotional fluctuations, thereby affecting learning efficiency and quality of life ^[1]. Under the background of the “Healthy China 2030” strategy, college student health promotion has been listed as a key content, and improving sleep quality, as an important part of a healthy lifestyle, is of strategic significance for improving the overall health level of college students. Therefore, systematically investigating the current situation of the impact of academic pressure on sleep quality among college students and deeply analyzing its influencing factors is of great value for formulating targeted intervention measures and optimizing the higher education environment.
