TITLE:
“ FACTORS AFFECTING SLEEPING PATTERNS AND ITS EFFECT ON THE
ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF THE STUDENTS”
THE PROBLEM
Sleeping is a natural repetitive state of rest for the mind and body which is essential to life.
Sleep is an exactly a time when your body and brain shut off. While you rest, your brain stays
busy, overseen a wide a variety of biological maintenance that keeps your body running in top
condition, preparing you for the day ahead. The sleep-wake pattern is driven by circadian timing
system, which is influenced by some factors such as physiological function, school and work
schedules, and many others. Most healthy adults need between seven and half to nine hours of
sleep per night to function at their best. Sleep serves several different functions such as growth and
repair, learning or memory consolidation, and restorative processes and all these occur throughout
the brain and the body. Cognitive functions related to academics such as memory consolidation,
learning, decision making and critical thinking are all related with adequate sleep. Sleep
deprivation and symptoms related to sleep disorders have not only been ignored but also
inadequately understood. Sleep loss is in fact one of the most striking problems of modern society,
and sleep deprivation is a common finding in students’ academic life. A study with a healthy
sample showed that sleepiness may have a substantial adverse influence on general health, and
quality of life. Sleep deprivation can be harmful to students. The sleep wake cycle is characterized
by insufficient sleep duration, delayed sleep onset, and occurrence of napping episodes during the
day. Studies have also demonstrated that insomnia might cause psychiatric disorders, psychosocial
stress, and dysfunction such as decrease work efficiency and learning disability. Sleep is clearly
an important aspect of successful, academic, and personal in the life of a student, yet very little
attention has been given to finding an appropriate sleeping pattern.

This study will aim to determine the factors that affects the sleep deprivation of Junior
High School student of Laboratory High School, Sta. Maria, Ilocos Sur, and its effect to their
academic performance. The researchers want to find answers on different questions. First, the
researchers will have to determine the profile of the students in terms of their age, sex, grade level,
and number of siblings. Also, the researchers have to know the different activities or habits the
students do before they go to sleep, and their sleeping patterns. The researchers also need to
determine the level of performance of the students. After further verifications, the researchers will
correlate the significant relationship between the profile, sleeping patterns, habits before going to
sleep, and the effect of sleep deprivation to the academic performance of the students.
