Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between sleep quality and mental health among adolescents and identify the factors relating to mental health. Methods: The subjects consisted of 285 middle school students. The data were collected from May 2 nd to 27 th , 2016. The data were analyzed using t-test, ANOVA, Pearson’s correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression with SPSS ver. 21. Results: The mean score for quality of sleep in adolescents was 4.20±2.64, and the mean score for mental health was 13.67±12.93. Poor sleepers showed higher scores for mental health than good sleepers. Mental health was found to have a positive correlation with both stress and quality of sleep. Stress and sleep quality were found to be significant factors influencing mental health and explained 59% of the variance in mental health. Conclusion: These findings indicate that effective intervention programs enhancing sleep quality should be provided for adolescents in order to prevent poor mental health.
