Without enough hours of restorative sleep, the individual will not be able to function, study, develop and interact even near to their true potential at a point of time. University student's lifestyle changes with the new life of studying. Sleep problems and sleep disorders severely impair university students’ academic success. To date, there is limited study on the level of sleep quality among university students during the covid-19 lockdown. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of sleep quality among university students between faculty during the Covid-19 lockdown. A total of 417 respondents among Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) Perlis were set up to answer the questionnaire by Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). Based on the data, there was a significant difference in the level of sleep quality among UiTM Perlis Student (p = 0.001). The mean global score for all students was (6.47 ± 3.105). Faculty of Architecture Planning and Surveying had a higher mean global score (8.95 ± 2.882). Faculty of Sports Science and Recreation had a lower mean global score (3.86 ± 2.014). From the result, Faculty Architecture Planning and Surveying have poor sleep quality while Faculty of Sports Science and Recreation have good sleep quality. In conclusion, the study showed the level of sleep quality among UiTM Perlis students is slightly greater on poor sleep. This might be due to poor sleep habits like having an irregular sleep pattern and psychological issues such as stress.
