Abstract

Insomnia is a sleep disorder involving difficulty initiating or maintaining sleep or experiencing poor sleep quality. It is a common problem among college students. The increasing incidence of insomnia is suspected to be related to the development of digital technology, particularly online gaming, through addiction and excessive gaming duration. This study aims to analyze the relationship between gaming addiction and duration of online gaming with the incidence of insomnia among students at the University Trisakti. The study employed an observational analytical design with a cross-sectional approach. The sample consisted of 194 students, who were selected using consecutive non-random sampling. Data were collected using the Game Addiction Scale (GAS) questionnaire, the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI), and an online gaming duration questionnaire. Data analysis was performed using the chi-squared test with a significance level of p < 0.05. The results showed that the prevalence of online gaming addiction was 40.2%, and of insomnia was 63.4%. A significant relationship was found between online gaming addiction and insomnia (p = 0.004), as well as between online gaming duration and insomnia (p = 0.037). It can therefore be concluded that addiction to online gaming and the duration spent playing are significantly related to the occurrence of insomnia in Trisakti University students.
