Kvaliteta i navike spavanja mjenjaju se tijekom života i u specifičnoj su vezi sa cjelokupnim životnim stilom osobe.

Rezultati istraživanja pokazali su da su hipoteze 1 i 3 prihvaćene jer nije bilo značajne razlike u rezlutatima. Hipoteza 2 je odbačena zbog nepostojanja značajne razlike u kvaliteti spavanja između redovnih i izvandrenih studenata sestrinstva, dok je hipoteza 4 djelomično prihvaćena zbog toga što se studenti bude kasnije vikendom, ali ne odlaze kasnije spavati u odnosu na radne dane kao što je to bilo pretpostavljeno u hipotezi 4.Sleep is a basic human physiological need that affects the overall quality of life.
