Abstract	An association between inadequate sleep and body mass index (BMI) has been demonstrated in previous studies, but there is a relative paucity of data from Latino/Hispanic populations. In the present study, 750 college students, 93% of whom were Hispanic, completed an online survey that included standardized measures of sleep quantity, sleep quality, and insomnia. BMI was significantly higher in those who had inadequate sleep quantity, in those with poor sleep quality, and in those who experienced insomnia. Our results extend previous research, demonstrating an association between BMI and three measures of sleep in a predominantly Hispanic college student sample. (As Provided).
