The research focuses on stimulant consumption, particularly energy drinks, as a significant risk factor affecting sleep quality among university students. In the local academic context, consuming these beverages has become a widespread and normalized practice. The study aims to address this issue by fostering healthy habits and promoting informed, responsible consumption within the university community. Accordingly, the primary objective is to determine the relationship between energy drink consumption and sleep quality among university students in Chiclayo in 2025. Methods A quantitative, non-experimental, cross-sectional design was employed. The population consisted of 12,100 university students in Chiclayo, with a probabilistic sample of 373 participants. Data were collected using two Likert-scale questionnaires, validated by experts and tested for internal reliability. Results Findings indicate that energy drink consumption is prevalent among the student population, with most reporting moderate to high intake. Sleep quality was generally acceptable but not optimal, with many participants exhibiting medium to low sleep quality levels. Correlation analyses revealed a strong, negative, inverse relationship between energy drink consumption and sleep quality. Specifically, both the frequency of consumption and the reasons for intake were strongly associated with impaired sleep. Immediate perceived effects after consumption also correlated inversely with restorative sleep, suggesting that short-term energy gains compromise subsequent rest. Conclusions The study confirms a strong negative relationship between energy drink consumption and sleep quality among university students in Chiclayo. These findings highlight that stimulant intake constitutes a significant risk factor that undermines restorative sleep, emphasizing the need for interventions promoting healthier consumption habits and improved well-being in the academic community.<\/ns3:p>","DOI":"10.12688\/f1000research.177748.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,9,28]],"date-time":"2026-09-28T05:54:09Z","timestamp":1790574849000},"page":"1007","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.12688\/f1000research.crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Energy drinks consumption and sleeping quality of students\u2019 universities of the Chiclayo province, Peru"],"prefix":"10.12688","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Mar\u00eda Giulianna","family":"Cano Silva","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Trujillo La Libertad Universidad Cesar Vallejo"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Oliver","family":"Llatas Coronado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Trujillo La Libertad Universidad Cesar Vallejo"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-5437-5230","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Sandro Valentino","family":"Nole Rojas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Trujillo La Libertad Universidad Cesar Vallejo"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6153-1321","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Gustavo Adolfo","family":"Ventura Seclen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Trujillo La Libertad Universidad Cesar Vallejo"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"2560","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,6,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","article-title":"Design and research methodology (1st digital edition).","author":"J Arias","year":"2021"},{"key":"ref2","article-title":"Association between diet quality and daytime sleepiness in Peruvian university students: Analytical cross-sectional study.","author":"G Arellano","year":"2024"},{"key":"ref4","article-title":"Sleep quality and sleepiness in students at different stages of medical school.","author":"A Bendini","year":"2024"},{"key":"ref5","article-title":"Aspects related to the profile of energy drink consumption among medical students.","author":"T Bressan","year":"2024"},{"key":"ref6","article-title":"Energy drink consumption and insomnia among postgraduate students in non-surgical health programs in Medell\u00edn, Colombia.","author":"T Cala Ramos","year":"2023"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/B978-0-12-815851-7.00015-2","article-title":"A comprehensive study on sports and energy drinks (Chapter 15).","author":"A Chatterjee","year":"2019"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/nu16081131","article-title":"Changes in caffeine consumption after the pandemic (CCAP study) among university students: A cross-sectional study from Italy.","volume":"16","author":"G Di Martino","year":"2024","journal-title":"Nutrients."},{"key":"ref9","article-title":"Impact of energy drink consumption on the health and academic performance of higher education students.","author":"R Espinosa","year":"2025"},{"key":"ref10","article-title":"Introduction to the methodology of scientific research.","author":"M G\u00f3mez","year":"2006","journal-title":"Editorial Brujas."},{"key":"ref11","article-title":"Energy drink consumption among university students and its possible adverse health effects: A systematic literature review.","author":"J Gonzales","year":"2025"},{"key":"ref12","article-title":"Metodolog\u00eda de la investigaci\u00f3n.
