The presented work considers the issue of violation of proper sleep at night and a balanced diet among applicants for higher education. The health of the younger generation is a problem that needs considerable attention from the state. Public institutions of higher education are those structures that can in some way affect the lives of young people, because a significant number of young people are applicants for higher education and in this status they are for a long time. The educational environment has a significant impact on participants in the educational process. Sometimes this effect is negative. In some cases, the regime of the educational process forces a person to neglect some aspects of his personal life, including the satisfaction of their physiological needs. As a result, people tend to lead a lifestyle that includes a number of negative factors that affect their physical and mental health. Chronic lack of sleep and poor diet are just such factors. To date, scientific studies have reliably established that healthy sleep and a balanced diet play a key role as components of a healthy lifestyle. It is known that chronic sleep disorders and unbalanced diet against the background of a chaotic diet have a negative impact on human health, provoking the development of serious pathologies and diseases. Research has shown that a significant number of higher education students have poor sleep and nutrition. An important point is the fact that this situation is long in time - students have been leading a lifestyle for years, associated with chronic sleep deprivation and nutritional imbalance. This situation is a threat to the health of student youth. Thus, the study of the causes of sleep disorders and unbalanced diet in different groups of higher education, as well as the development of methods to prevent the development of these phenomena is an important direction in the context of maintaining the health of citizens of Ukraine.
