Results: 300 students participated, 32.7% had “inadequate” eating habits, 33.3% “adequate”; likewise, 32.7% of the students obtained a poor sleep quality level. There is a relationship between both variables (p<0.001); with a weak association (correlation coefficient 0.370; p=<0.001).
Conclusion: There is a relationship between eating habits and sleep quality in students of public universities in Lima. It is recommended that universities carry out timely diagnosis
