Abstract

This research explored the connections between anxiety, sleep quality, and stress in adults based on their self-reported experiences. Participant provided information regarding their anxiety symptoms, sleep habits, fear of being judged negatively, and stress levels. the study utilized standardized tools, including the generalized anxiety disorder 7-item scale (gad7), die fear of negative evaluation scale, the sleep quality scale, and the perceived stress questionnaire. correlation analyses were conducted to assess the relationships among these variables. the results revealed a significant positive correlation between generalized anxiety symptoms and fear of negative evaluation, suggesting that individuals who are more concerned about being judged tend to report higher anxiety levels. moreover, there was a notable positive relationship between fear of negative evaluation and poor sleep quality, indicating that individuals with higher social apprehension may experience more sleep disturbances. these findings contribute to a deeper understanding of how anxiety, stress perception, self-consciousness, and sleep quality are interrelated in adulthood.
