The questionnaire was administered and retrieved from 210 students and analyzed using SPSS computer software version 22. Descriptive statistics was used to analyze research questions while inferential statistics was used to test the hypothesis. Results were presented using descriptive tables of frequency and percentages. The study revealed 97.2% of nursing students affirmed inadequate sleep has negative effect on their academic achievement, and 91.4% agreed that a person must sleep at least 6 hours for healthy living. This study further identified academic stress (53.3%) and poor accommodation (56.2%) as factors influencing sleep patterns among nursing students at the University of Ilorin.
