Background and Objective: Sleep quality is an important clinical construct whose core components as well as its relative significance differs from person to person. Given that, this study aimed to examine the relationship of sleep quality and sleep hygiene with Islamic lifestyle and self-reported religious orientation among high school students of Sarpol-e Zahab.

Method: This descriptive study is cross-sectional and correlational. The study population consisted of all high school male students in Sarpol-e Zahab in 2016. Through multi-stage cluster sampling, 370 participants were selected. They completed demographic variables questionnaire, ILST, and ROI. Descriptive data analysis, PSQI, SHI, regression and Pearson correlation coefficients were used to analyze the data. All ethical issues were observed in this research and the researchers declared no conflict of interests.

Results: Based on the findings, the absolute value of the correlation coefficients ranged from 0.62 to 0.83; and indicators of sleep with Islamic lifestyle and religious orientation showed significant positive correlation (P<0.05). In addition, the statistical analyses using regression demonstrated that Islamic lifestyle and religious orientation together predicted 61 percent of the variance.

Conclusion: The results adduce the argument that those who have higher levels of Islamic lifestyle and religious orientation experience better indicators of sleep.
