what questions did we ask?

1. What is your grade level?

2. What is your GPA?
3. How many hours of sleep do you get per night?
4. Do you feel like you are getting enough sleep?
5. Are you often tired at school?
6. Do you think the amount of sleep you get affects your GPA?
7. Do you think if you got more sleep you would get a higher GPA?
8. Do you nap?
9. How long do you usually nap?
10. How many times per week?

We received 126 student responses

which we believe is a decent representation of our demographic.
who responded to our survey?

We had 126 students respond

to our survey.

65 of them were freshmen,

27 of them were sophomores,
25 of them were juniors, and
9 were seniors.
what kind of GPAs do they have?

In this chart, we can see the

GPA data from all the student
who had done the survey.

Most of the students are in the

range of3.00 to 3.99; there
are 75 students within this
category.

Very few students have a GPA

below 2.00.

As well as 13 students who

have a GPA of 4.00 or higher.

The rest of the students lie in

the range between 2.00 to
2.99.
how much sleep do they get per night?

In this chart, we noticed that

most of the students get an
average of 4 to 6 or 7 to 9
hours of sleep per night.

It is evident that students

who did not get enough
sleep or only get 1 to 3 hours
per night are the students
with lower GPAs.

And as we can see, students who

sleep more than 10 hours per
night are the students with the
highest GPAs.
is it enough?

Most of the students have a GPA

of 3.00 to 3.99, and we can
see that most people believe
they do not get enough
sleep per night,
regardless of GPA range
except for the 2.00 to 2.99
range.
do they feel tired at school?

students
Its very clear that
who get more sleep per
night have higher GPAs.

So, when students think that

they get enough sleep every day,
they do not feel tired at
school.

We may also conclude by saying

that the students who do not
feel tired at school are
probably more attentive than
those students who are tired at
school, and their GPA will
reflect this.
do they think sleep affects their GPA?

Most of the students think that

sleep affects their GPA,
especially students whose GPA is
1.99 or below.
would more sleep help their GPA?

Most people with ahigh GPA

thought more sleep would
not help them but many people
with a low GPA felt that
more sleep would help
them. This would make sense as
this group would be the one that
would get the most out of more
sleep.

The students with GPAs between

3.00 to 3.99 answered very
evenly, almost 50/50.
do these students nap?

People with the GPAs between

3.00 to 3.99 were relatively
evenly spread out throughout all
three answers.

2.00
Interestingly though, the
to 2.99 group did not have
a single response of no,
which supports the hypothesis of
positive sleep
correlation.

Students with a GPA of 4.00 or

higher answered no with a
surprising majority.
how long are they napping for?

Students that have a GPA in the

1.99 or below range had a
very low amount of answers
over all categories.

Neither 4.0 or higher nor

1.99 or below groups took
a 3+ hour nap.

The students with a GPA of 3.00

to 3.99 answered surprisingly
evenly. This information also
supports the notion that more
sleep has a positive
correlation and less sleep
has no correlation.
how often are they napping per week?

GPAs of 4.00
Interestingly,
or higher had the least
number of students napping
per week.

3.00
Students with GPAs between
to 3.99 had a large amount
of people napping every
day.

Based on this graph, we can

average GPA
conclude that an
between 3.00 to 3.99 is
achievable, regardless of
how many naps per week.
