Article Abstract

This study explored associations among test anxiety, GPA, sleep quality, and mood in college students. Data were collected from undergraduate students ( = 316). Results revealed that higher levels of test anxiety and sleep impairment predicted negative mood in undergraduates. Findings suggest that prioritizing sleep could help improve overall mood among students with test anxiety. Future studies should work toward clarifying the complex and reciprocal relationship between sleep and test anxiety.
