Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Does EFT application reduce sleep problems among university students? Is EFT application feasible for addressing sleep problems in university students? Researchers will compare the effectiveness of EFT to traditional sleep education on non-pharmacological interventions for preventing sleep problems among university students.
Participants:
Pre-EFT application survey scale questions will be asked to university students.
EFT will be applied once by the researcher to university students. EFT will be applied a second time by the researcher to university students 15 days after the initial application.
For control, the same survey scale questions will be asked to the same students one day after the EFT application for post-test purposes.
The same procedures will be applied in the same manner to the control group that will receive education.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
1. Personal Information Form The personal information form, prepared by the researchers, includes questions about socio-demographic characteristics such as age and gender. The last part of the questionnaire consists of questions evaluating the sleep status of the participants.
2. Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) This scale, developed to determine the severity of insomnia symptoms, can be used in both general population screenings and clinical assessments of insomnia. It is a seven-item, five-point Likert-type scale. Each item is scored between 0 and 4, with the total score ranging from 0 to 28. Scores of 0-7 indicate no clinically significant insomnia, 8-14 indicate subthreshold insomnia, 15-21 indicate clinical insomnia (moderate severity), and 22-28 indicate severe clinical insomnia.
3. Epworth Sleepiness Scale (ESS) The ESS is an easy-to-administer and widely used scale. It is a four-point Likert-type scale. Each item is scored 0, 1, 2, or 3, with higher scores indicating greater daytime sleepiness. It aims to measure the general level of daytime sleepiness and is a simple self-report tool.
4. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) The PSQI\& index comprises 18 items grouped into 7 component scores. Each item is evaluated on a scale of 3 points. The sum of the seven component scores provides the total PSQI score, ranging from 0 to 21. Higher total scores indicate poorer sleep quality. A total PSQI score of 0-4 signifies good sleep quality, while scores between 5-21 indicate poor sleep quality.
indicates and shows a serious deterioration in at least two components or moderate deterioration in three components of the PSQI.
5. Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) The FSS consists of 9 questions measuring the degree of fatigue experienced in the past week. Each question is rated on a scale from 0 (strongly disagree) to 7 (strongly agree), and the total score is the sum of these ratings. The highest possible total score is 63. A score of 36 or above indicates significant fatigue.
6. Sleep Education (control group):
The sleep education content will be prepared by the researcher based on the literature and will be reviewed by at least three experts.
