Abstract

This study investigates how lifestyle choices, the "silent engines" of our well-being, impact the mental health of young adults. By examining 50 participants, the research reveals that while we often treat our bodies like machines, our daily rest is actually the primary driver of emotional resilience. The findings highlight that sleep quality is a significant positive predictor of psychological well-being, whereas physical activity, though a vital component of a healthy lifestyle, did not show a significant predictive link in this specific model. Ultimately, the data suggests that enhancing sleep hygiene is a potent, modifiable strategy for fostering mental strength and reducing the global burden of anxiety and depression.

Keywords: mental health, sleep quality, physical activity, young adults, psychological well-being, predictive modeling
