Methods: A questionnaire survey was carried out among the vocational nursing students in West Anhui Health Vocational College by using the General Information Survey Scale, the Academic Procrastination Behavior Assessment Scale, the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index Scale and the Self-Control Assessment Scale.
