While statistically significant difference was found in subjective sleep quality, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, daytime dysfunction, sleep latency/delay, use of sleep medication and total sleep score in terms of the state of drinking tea and coffee (p<0,05 and p<0,0.01), no difference was found in sleep disturbances component (p>0,05). Statistically, a significant difference was found in subjective sleep quality, sleep latency/delay, sleep duration, habitual sleep efficiency, sleep disturbances, daytime dysfunction, use of sleep medication and total sleep score in terms of the state of smoking and consuming alcohol (p<0,05 and p<0,001). Conclusion: It can be said that drinking tea and coffee, smoking and consuming alcohol before going to bed have negative effects on the sleep quality of students receiving sports education. It is recommended for students receiving sports education not to drink tea and coffee, smoke and consume alcohol before going to bed to improve the quality of sleep. Article visualizations
