Interventions

  • Psychological Program to Improve Sleep Quality — BEHAVIORAL
    The intervention consists of a structured psychological program designed to improve sleep quality and reduce insomnia symptoms in female university students. Sleep hygiene: Minimally invasive behavioral recommendations are implemented to establish healthy habits and routines that promote sleep onset and continuity. Relaxation techniques: Strategies are used to decrease physiological and cognitive activation prior to sleep. Stimulus control: This technique aims to reduce the negative association between the bedroom and difficulty sleeping. The intervention is delivered in a structured and supervised format, with the goal of promoting sustainable behavioral and cognitive changes that improve sleep quality. The intervention will be conducted weekly in group sessions lasting approximately one hour. The researcher will administer the intervention.

Study Details

Sleep disturbances, particularly insomnia, are highly prevalent among university women and are associated with impairments in executive functioning and academic performance. Women present higher rates of insomnia due to biological and psychosocial factors. This study aims to design and evaluate a psychological intervention program to improve sleep quality and reduce insomnia symptoms in female university students aged 18-25, with the purpose of strengthening cold executive functions and analyzing its impact on academic performance.
