The purpose of the present study was to elucidate the relationship between sleep pattern and mental health in young universitystudents. In total, 152 university students participated in this study. Sleep quality index(PSQI), physical fitness, mentalhealth(GHQ 30)and lifestyles were surveyed. Total score of physical fitness was evaluated by hand grip, sit ups, bending forwardwith long sitting position, standing broad jump, repeated side jump and 20 m shuttle run. There was no significant differencein total score of physical fitness between male and female students, whereas, PSQI and GHQ in female subjects were significantlyimpaired compared to male subjects. In contrast, breakfast intake in male subjects was less compared to female subjects.There were significant relationships between total score of PSQI and GHQ in both male and female subjects. Moreover, breakfastintake was related to PSQI in female subjects, whereas no relationship in male subjects. In conclusion, it was suggested thatbreakfast intake might improve mental health irrespective of gender differences. Furthermore, only in females, breakfast intakewas also strongly related to sleep quality index.(Bulletin of the Northern Regions Lifelong Sports Research Center Hokusho Univ. 2011. vo 1. 2: 00)
