College Student Learning Preparedness: Do Time Management Skills and Sleep Quality Matter?

The learning process is more likely to succeed when students exhibit high levels of learning readiness. However, empirical evidence from prior studies suggests that not all students possess this readiness. This study aims to explore the individual and combined impacts of time management and sleep quality on students' readiness to learn. Employing a quantitative survey design, the research involved 178 students from the Kerinci State Islamic Institute. The sample size was determined using the Krejcie & Morgan formula, with sample selection carried out through Simple Random Sampling. Data collection utilized the Self-Directed Learning Readiness Scale, Time Management Scale, and Sleep Quality Scale. Analysis of the research data was conducted through simple and multiple linear regression. The findings indicate that both time management and learning readiness play pivotal roles in determining students' readiness to learn, with time management demonstrating a stronger influence on this readiness. This study holds significant implications for addressing students' readiness to learn issues by fostering effective time management practices and ensuring adequate sleep quality. Such interventions can be effectively implemented through guidance and counseling services within higher education, involving counselors and additional support mechanisms.
