College students can suffer from lack of sleep for reasons such as sleep deprivation (psychological or behavioral) or sleep disorders (most common being insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea, or restless leg syndrome). Psychological disorders are becoming more common in our society‐with college campuses being adversely affected. This study investigated the correlation between sleep and mental health in science students at Lee University. Anonymous surveys were used to measure a student's mental health and sleep patterns. Surveys were distributed to several classes within the Natural Sciences and Mathematics Department at Lee University.
