ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying how smoking affects sleep quality, fatigue, and stress levels among university students. Researchers want to understand if students who smoke have more trouble sleeping, feel more tired, or experience higher stress compared to those who do not smoke. This is important because many students face academic pressures and lifestyle changes, and smoking might worsen these issues. The study aims to provide insights specifically for university students, as previous research has mostly focused on the general population.

To participate in this trial, you need to be an actively enrolled undergraduate student. However, individuals with certain conditions, like sleep disorders or diagnosed mental health issues, as well as chronic diseases, cannot join the study. If you take part, you can expect to share information about your smoking habits, sleep patterns, fatigue, and stress levels. This research will help identify the connections between smoking and these factors, ultimately aiming to improve student well-being.
