        abstract = {The purpose of this study was to compare the sleep quality and nomophobia among Physical Education students. A total of sixty students were randomly selected from the Department of Physical Education and Sports Technology, Sri Guru Granth Sahib World University, Fatehgarh Sahib, Punjab. The age of the participants ranged from 21 to 25 years. The subjects were divided into male and female groups. Sleep quality and nomophobia were assessed using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) developed by Daniel J. Buysse et al. (1989) and the Nomophobia Questionnaire (NMP-Q) developed by Caglar Yildirim and Ana-Paula Correia (2015), respectively. Descriptive statistics and the independent samples t-test were employed to examine differences between male and female students on the selected variables. The results revealed no significant difference in sleep quality between male and female Physical Education students. This may be attributed to their similar academic responsibilities, training schedules, and daily lifestyles. Likewise, no significant difference was found in nomophobia between male and female students. This could be due to the extensive use of smartphones by both genders for communication, educational purposes, entertainment, and social networking. The findings suggest that gender does not play a significant role in influencing sleep quality and nomophobia among Physical Education students.},
