Brief Summary
The purpose of this clinical study is to determine whether the application of EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) is effective in reducing sleep problems among university students. Additionally, the study aims to gather information on the safety of EFT application. The primary questions it seeks to answer are: Does EFT application reduce sleep problems among university students? Is EFT application feasible for addressing sleep problems in university students? Researchers will compare the effectiveness of EFT to traditional sleep education on non-pharmacological interventions for preventing sleep problems among university students. Participants: Pre-EFT application survey scale questions will be asked to university students. EFT will be applied once by the researcher to university students. EFT will be applied a second time by the researcher to university students 15 days after the initial application. For control, the same survey scale questions will be asked to the same students one day after the EFT application for post-test purposes. The same procedures will be applied in the same manner to the control group that will receive education.

EXPERİMENTAL: EFT GROUP
EXPERIMENTALThe young individuals in the intervention group will be informed about the study, including its purpose and methodology, and their consent will be obtained. Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT) will be applied to groups of 20 individuals to improve sleep quality, and all scales will be administered beforehand. EFT will be applied twice, with a 15-day interval between sessions, and the same scale questionnaires will be administered again after the second EFT session. Subsequently, the analysis will be conducted.
CONTROL GROUP
NO INTERVENTIONThe young individuals in the control group will be informed about the study, including its purpose and methodology, and their consent will be obtained. The control group will receive sleep education, consisting of two educational presentations provided 15 days apart. The questionnaires of the scales used for analysis will be administered to assess their sleep problems. The content of the education will be prepared based on the literature and will be reviewed by at least three experts.
