While quantitative research has shown links between sleep and body weight, little is known about the lived experiences shaping this relationship in Asian contexts.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A qualitative study was conducted in urban Dhaka, Bangladesh, in 2022. Twenty\u2010six young adults aged 18\u201325 years were recruited through purposive and snowball sampling methods. Semi\u2010structured, in\u2010depth interviews were conducted in Bangla, audio\u2010recorded, transcribed verbatim, and translated into English. Thematic analysis was performed using an inductive approach, supplemented by deductive coding based on the socio\u2010ecological model (SEM).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Five key themes emerged: (1) structural and environmental conditions disrupting sleep; (2) digital night culture and socially reinforced wakefulness; (3) the prioritisation of productivity over sleep; (4) unequal burdens of household labour and caregiving and opportunities for rest; and (5) perceived associations between irregular sleep, fatigue, and eating behaviours. Young adults described poor sleep as both a personal and structural issue and perceived connections with body weight and overall wellbeing. Across the identified themes, sleep and eating practices that appeared individual were embedded within interpersonal, institutional, environmental, and sociocultural contexts.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The findings indicate opportunities for healthy sleep are influenced by social, institutional, and environmental conditions in addition to individual practices. Consequently, sleep\u2010health strategies targeting young adults may benefit from integrating individual education with interventions that address peer and family practices, institutional expectations, and environments conducive to sleep health. Further longitudinal and mixed\u2010method research is required to investigate the pathways identified in these qualitative accounts.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Patient and Public Contribution<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The findings were discussed with patient and public involvement (PPI) members who are young adults. Their insights informed the development of the interview guide. A subset of participants helped interpret the results by engaging in member checking of preliminary findings and identified themes.
