Intensive academic activities often lead to burnout, driving students to sacrifice sleep. This behavior reflects ghuluw ‘amaly (excessive behavior) by neglecting well-being, which results in significant psychological and physical impacts, including reduced resilience and motivation, brain dysfunction, and impaired sleep quality. This study aimed to investigate the correlation between academic burnout and sleep quality among psychology students at Universitas Muhammadiyah Bandung, integrating both physiological and Islamic perspectives. A mixed-methods approach was applied, combining a quantitative correlational method with library research. Data were collected through proportionate stratified random sampling, involving 204 psychology students (M = 21; SD = 1.08), who were assessed using the Academic Burnout Scale and the Sleep Quality Scale. Data were analyzed with the Pearson product-moment correlation test. The results indicate a significant moderate negative correlation between academic burnout and sleep quality (r = -.541; p < .01). Moreover, academic burnout at low and high levels was equally distributed among students, with 50% (n = 102) and 56% (n = 115) reporting poor sleep quality. This finding reflects that higher levels of academic burnout are associated with poorer sleep quality, while lower levels of burnout are linked to better sleep quality. These findings highlight the importance of avoiding excessive behavior and maintaining tawazun, which refers to striking a balance between academic responsibilities and personal well-being, thereby preventing academic burnout and improving sleep quality.
