Introduction: The Internet has affected to many aspects of human life. The potential risk of Internet addiction can lead to various impacts, including anxiety, and poor sleep quality. In this study, we investigate the association between duration of internet usage, anxiety level, and sleep quality among Moslem students at Syarif Hidayatullah State Islamic University, Jakarta. Methods: A quantitative cross-sectional study was conducted. The respondents comprised 750 Moslem students selected by convenience sampling. The data were collected through a semi-structured questionnaire to determine the respondents’ general character, internet usage duration, and sleep quality. In addition, a validated GAD-7 questionnaire was used to evaluate the anxiety level. Pearson correlation analysis between variables was performed, followed by linear regression analysis. Results: A total of 699 eligible responses were obtained, predominantly from female respondents (71.4%). More than half of these (57.7%) were found to use the internet excessively; 50.4% of students were detected to have anxiety, and 22.5% demonstrated poor sleep quality. Multivariate analysis showed a positive correlation between the duration of internet usage and students’ anxiety (p=0.004, r=0.108). Moreover, the duration of internet usage and anxiety were negatively correlated with sleep quality (p=0.016; 0.000, r=-0.091; -0.214). In addition, the higher the internet usage activity and anxiety level among students, the poorer their sleep quality (p=0.000, R² =0.051). Conclusion: There is a significant correlation between internet usage activity, anxiety, and sleep quality among Moslem students in Indonesia. Therefore, for the sake of their wellness, it is important that students are prudent regarding their internet activities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
