The regular practice of physical activity can significantly contribute to the promotion of health, well-being and sleep quality at different times of the life cycle, including the university phase. The present study aimed to evaluate the levels of physical activity, sleep quality and level of satisfaction with life in university students. In addition, it analyzed whether there was a correlation between the variables and compared the quality of sleep and life satisfaction between physically active and sedentary students. 97 university students (age 23.05± 4.73) participated in the research. Online questionnaires were applied via a link on Google Forms. Variables were assessed using the Satisfaction With Life Scale (SWLS), International Physical Activity Questionnaire (IPAQ-8) and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The MannWhitney Test and Pearson Correlation were used in the statistical analysis. Conclusion: 67% of university students have poor sleep quality and 8% have sleep disorders. They were moderately satisfied with life and mostly physically active. Physically active university students had a greater perception of sleep quality and higher scores on responses related to the level of life satisfaction.
