The dependent variable was sleep quality. The independent variables were frequent use of gadget and lack of physical activity. The relationship between variables were tested by Chi-Square with Odds Ratio as the measure of association.

Results: The risk of poor sleep quality increased with frequent use of gadget (OR= 2.63; 95% CI= 0.98 to 7.04; p= 0.047) and lack of physical activity (OR = 0.30; 95% CI= 0.11 to 0.86; p= 0.019).
