Data collection was conducted using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) instrument to measure sleep quality and the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale-Adolescent (MAAS-A) to measure learning concentration. Data analysis utilized Spearman Rank correlation test with a significance level of α = 0.05.
Results: Spearman correlation test results showed a strong and significant negative relationship between sleep quality and learning concentration (r = -0.770; p < 0.001).
Conclusion: There is a significant negative relationship between nighttime sleep quality and learning concentration among students.
