Sleep hygiene is a cost-effective method that is performed without the need for any additional material, consisting of both environmental and behavioral habits.

After the necessary permissions are obtained, the classes will be divided into experiments and controls by drawing lots. To the experimental group; After the pre-test is applied, training and tasks will be given. In addition, a sleep hygiene policy will be sent to the families by phone every day. The total intervention will last four weeks, at the end of which a post-test will be administered. Two weeks will be waited without intervention, two weeks later the control measurement will be made. To the control group; Pre-test and post-test will be applied at the same time with the experimental group and training will be given after the post-test. The research data will be evaluated with the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) statistical program on the computer and in the form of numbers, percentages, averages and standard deviations for descriptive statistics in the computer environment and with necessary statistical analyzes. Significance will be accepted as p\<0.05 at α=95% confidence interval.
