INTRODUCTION: Sleep is so much part of the normal rhythm of our lives that tends to be taken for granted until it is disrupted. Sleep disorder has become a common health problem among adolescents and young adults. Most school students are unaware of how important quality sleep is for optimum health. Sleep hygiene practices and quality can directly impact mental, emotional, and physical health. The Centers for disease control (CDC) reports that about 35% of adults are not getting enough sleep, which account for 84 million people. METHODOLOGY: The present study adopted quantitative research approach with non-randomized control group research design. Sample of the study comprised of 80 students selected by using non-probability convenient sampling who were further equally divided under experimental and control group. The study was carried out at selected government intercollege of Dehradun. Tools used for data collection consisted of two instruments, Tool I included demographic Performa and Tool II included sleep quality scale. The experimental group underwent a self –instructional module as an intervention which was followed by post-test. RESULTS: In regards to the present study 87.5% in moderate and 7.5% in severe disturbance in quality of sleep had experimental group and 90% in moderate and 5% in severe disturbance in quality of sleep had control group. The obtained ‘t’ test value was found 11.2985 for experimental group was found significant at p<0.05 level which shows that self-instructional module was effective in improving quality of sleep in experimental group. The pre-test and post-test mean score of experimental group are 14.27 and 11.80 respectively and had mean difference of 2.47. The pre-test and post-test mean score of control group are 14.93 and 14.43 with mean difference of 0.50. The chi-square showed no association between sleep quality with selected demographic variable (age, gender, medication, physical activity, etc) CONCLUSION: The study conducted concluded that majority of students had moderate disturbance in sleep quality and self-instructional module was effective in improving sleep quality of adolescent students.
