When two people exchange roles as sender and receiver, they establish a connection via the process of meaningmaking. This is known as interpersonal communication. During the sleep phase, there are significant changes in awareness that coincide with significant physiological changes. The purpose of this research is to ascertain how early adult interpersonal communication is impacted by sleep quality. Stratified random sample consisting of 100 early adulthood, individuals between the ages of 18 and 30. Among the tools used to accomplish the aims were Shin (2006) Sleep Quality Scale and Bienvenu's (1971) Interpersonal Communication Inventory. The results indicate that the level of interpersonal communication is high at 53% and the level of sleep quality is found to be moderate at 60%. Additionally, the relationship between the two variables is found to be positive with an 'r' value of 0.127.The study concludes that sleep quality is a predictor of interpersonal communication.

Here, the objectives are to: (a) start and end conversations and to sustain them by guiding their topical focus and turn distribution (Slugoski & Hilton, 2001); (b) produce messages that are understandable, informative, and pragmatically relevant and that suit the conversation's turn structure (Clark & Bly, 1995); (c) define social identities and situations (McCall & Simmons, 1978); (d) manage impressions and maintain face (Metts & Grohskopf, 2003); and (e) follow up on and manage affect (Planalp, Metts, & Tracy, Saarni, 2000; Berger...
