与几年前的报告相比，大学生一周的睡眠时间减少了。根据美国大学健康协会的全国大学生健康评估调查，大学生睡眠不足被认为是影响学业成绩的三大健康障碍之一；睡眠不足与成绩较低、课程未完成以及情绪低落有关。这项研究考察了睡眠不足对学习动机的潜在影响，学习动机是学习成绩的关键预测因素。具体地说，研究了睡眠习惯与自我效能感、表现与掌握目标定向、坚持性和拖延性倾向的关系。结果表明，42%的参与者(377名学生中有159名)经历了日间过度困倦；与没有报告日间困倦的学生相比，患有日间困倦的学生倾向于：(1)出于成绩目标而不是掌握目标；(2)比起没有报告日间困倦的学生，更多地从事拖延(一种自我妨碍策略)；以及(3)自我效能降低。根据调查结果，提出了几项建议，供校园卫生专业人员参考，以创建健康校园倡议。
College students are sleeping less during the week than reported a few years ago. Lack of sleep among college students has been identified as one of the top three health-related impediments to academic performance by the American College Health Association's National College Health Assessment survey; and it is associated with lower grades, incompletion of courses, as well as negative moods. This research examines the underlying dynamics of lack of sleep on academic motivation, a key predictor of academic performance. Specifically, the relationship of sleep habits with self-efficacy, performance versus mastery goal orientation, persistence, and tendency to procrastinate were investigated. Findings indicate that 42% of the participants (159 students out of a total of 377) experience excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS); and those identified with EDS tend: (1) to be motivated by performance goals rather than mastery goals; (2) to engage in procrastination (a self-handicapping strategy) to a greater extent than students who are rested; and (3) to have decreased self-efficacy, as compared to students not reporting EDS. Several recommendations for campus health professionals to consider for a Healthy Campus Initiative are made based on the findings.
