No other significant relationship seen between quality of sleep with socio-demographic characteristics, exercise or co-morbid history. Conclusion:Majority of adult population in this selected urban area in Pahang have good quality of sleep and result shows significant relationship between quality of sleep with not taking caffeinated drinks, but not other factors.
