The research scale used in the research is The Perception of Academic Stress Scale as a measure of academic stress and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index as a measure of sleep quality. The results showed that academic stress had a significantly negative effect on sleep quality (R = 0.215 and R2 = 0.046) with probability values of -0.118 which indicates a significant level below 0.05 (P<0.05). So it can be concluded that Ha is accepted, which indicates that there is a significant negative effect of academic stress on sleep quality. Where the higher the academic stress of students, the lower the quality of sleep for students in Jabodetabek. So it is hoped that students can manage their time as an effort to minimize academic stress which can affect sleep quality.
