Abstract :In this study aimed to determine the relationship between smartphone addiction and sleep quality in university students. A total of 403 university students, 214 women, and 189 men, participated in the research conducted using the relational screening model. As data collection tools; Personal Information Form, Smartphone Addiction Scale, and Sleep Quality Scale were used. Independent Samples T-test, Pearson Correlation, and Linear Regression analysis were used in the statistical analysis of normally distributed data. When the research findings were examined; while there was a significant difference in smartphone addiction according to gender (p .05). When the results were examined in terms of dependent variables, low-level negative and significant relationships were detected between smartphone addiction and sleep quality (p<.05). Additionally, smartphone addiction negatively predicts the sleep quality of male and female university students by 7% and 3%, respectively (p<.05). As a result, it is thought that being addicted to smartphones reduces the sleep quality of university students and this result will negatively affect university students. It can lead to poor mental health as well as depression, anxiety, and isolation.
