Sample Description - Understanding Sleep Patterns in College Students

Study Population

The study focused on college students enrolled in a large urban university in the United States. The target population included undergraduate and graduate students from various academic disciplines and backgrounds.

Level of Analysis

The level of analysis for this study was individual. The research aimed to explore sleep patterns at the individual student level rather than aggregating data at the group or institutional level.

Number of Observations

The dataset comprised information from 5000 college students, gathered through a combination of surveys and wearable sleep monitoring devices. These students were randomly selected from the university’s student body to ensure a representative sample.

Data Analytic Sample

For the purpose of data analysis, certain criteria were applied to refine the sample. Only students who provided complete and accurate data on sleep patterns, lifestyle factors, and academic performance were included in the data analytic sample. As a result, the final dataset used for analysis consisted of 4500 observations.

This sample represents a diverse group of college students, and the data analytic sample was carefully curated to ensure the reliability and validity of the findings. The criteria for inclusion aimed to minimize bias and enhance the generalizability of the study’s results.
