Abstract: College students are a group of undergraduate candidates who are taking education at college level, whose daily life is faced with a wide range of demands and responsibilities that can potentially cause students to feel exhausted. This exhaustion will have effects on their health, one of them is in the aspect of sleep quality. Sleep quality is the ability to maintain a good and adequate sleep condition. The purpose of this research is to know whether there is a correlation between the number of cigarettes rods that is consumed to sleep quality in college students. This research is a cross sectional analytic study conducted at Engineering Faculty in Udayana University. Data obtained is primary data using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire that has been modified and analyzed with spearmantest. The number of samples was 55 out of five courses. The results showed that respondents fall into mild smokers and moderate smokers category. Most respondents had poor sleep quality (87.3%). In addition to smoking habits, other common habits that can be found in respondents are alcohol consumption (83.6%) and caffeine consumption (81.8%). In some respondents the habit of using drugs also can be found even though the number of its users aren’t many. The more cigarette rods are consumed, the amount of nicotine entering into the body will also increase and lead to disturbance of sleep stages, resulting in overall decrease of sleep quality. Based on this study, it can be concluded, there are correlation between the amount of cigarette rods consumed and the sleep quality of the students (p<0.05).
