The total number of them is 3488.Stratified cluster sampling was adopted and 628 students were drowned.The Pittsburgh sleep Quality Index (PSQI) (Buysse 1989), Habits and customs meter and Life pressure meter were used as the measurement tools. Cronbach alpha’s is between 0.748~0.877. The objective is to study the sleeping quality and its determinants. The main findings are as following: 1. The average sleeping quality score is 6.07. (range is 0-21, SD＝2.79.The higher score, the worse sleeping quality.) There are 296 students (47.1％) had good sleeping quality, and 332 of them (52.9％) had bad sleeping quality. Average sleep time is 6.66 hours .The majority of the students go to bed between 0-2 AM. The latest time to go to bed is 6 AM. It shows that most of the students like to go bed late. 2.

It was found that those students of the college of management and sleeping was interfered by noise who had a greater pressure in their life. Adjust R2＝.069。 3. Poor sleeping quality: Those who regard themselves with poor academic marks, their roommates or families had bad interfere on their sleep, those who went to bed later than 10pm because of doing their homework and those who have higher study pressure were with poor sleep. Good sleeping Quality: Students who studied extracurricular books such as novels and magazines before sleeping even though they went to bed late and those regard themselves had better health condition were with better sleeping quality. Adjust R2＝.301。 4. Better awareness health: People who took under 25 credits a semesters, had no economic pressure, had exercise habits, used to exercise before sleep, and had roommates or families affecting their sleep tend to have better awareness health.Poor awareness health: Students who think they had poor academic performance, used to drink coffee or tea, had higher pressure from studies, families, affection, or had poor sleep quality were with lower score in awareness health. Adjust R2＝.249。 5.The Pearson，s product moment correlation between awareness health and sleeping quality is -0.345 (p< .01). It reveals that the poorer awareness health, the worse sleeping quality.
