The study investigated the relationship between sleep duration, physical activity, and well-being among Filipino university students under remote education due to the pandemic. A sample of 1,050 university students volunteered to participate in the study. The participants reported an average sleep duration of 6.68 hours which is below recommended levels. The study found that male students perceived better well-being than females, and those sleeping more than 7 hours had higher well-being. Engaging in regular physical activity was associated with better well-being. Regression analysis revealed that both sleep duration and physical activity significantly predicted well-being, with sleep having a stronger impact. Overall, the study emphasized the importance of adequate sleep and physical activity for students' well-being during remote education.
