Abstract The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between sleep quality, academic motivation and self-efficacy among Indian students. The sample consisted of 111 students including 34 males and 77 females in the age group of 18 to 26 years. Graduate and undergraduate students and some working people participated. Their family background is middle to upper class. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to assess sleep quality, the Academic Self-Efficacy Scale (ADSE) measured academic ability, and the Academic Motivation Scale College Version-28 (AMSC) assessed academic motivation. Data analysis focused on identifying relationships between these variables. The results show a weak inverse relationship between PSQI and AMSC, indicating that better sleep quality is associated with less academic motivation. In addition, the low correlation between PSQI and ADSE suggests that although sleep quality and self-efficacy are important to academic success, their direct relationship is not strong. However, the positive correlation between ADSE and AMSC emphasizes the close relationship between academic ability and motivation. These findings highlight the importance of addressing sleep quality and psychological factors such as self-efficacy and motivation in promoting academic success. Educational interventions should consider comprehensive strategies that include improving sleep hygiene, improving intrinsic motivation, and increasing the ability to support the well-being of students and the advancement of knowledge. Further research, especially longitudinal and experimental studies, is needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and causal pathways associated with these factors. A deeper understanding of these relationships will help develop targeted interventions to improve student outcomes.
