Abstract
This study investigates how time spent on online gaming affects university students’ academic performance, stress levels, life skills, social interaction, and sleep schedule. A total of 338 students from five academic programs at UiTM Pahang, Raub Campus, participated in the survey. Data were collected using structured questionnaires and analysed using descriptive statistics and Spearman’s correlation analysis. Results show that students who play less than one hour daily tend to have better academic performance and life skills. However, longer gaming durations are weakly to moderately linked to increased stress, disrupted sleep, and slight social changes. These findings highlight the importance of balancing gaming habits and digital wellness education.
