Valley College
Table of contents
 CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

Your behaviors can have a major impact on your sleep and can contribute to
sleeplessness. Your

actions during the day, and especially before bedtime, can make it difficult to fall
asleep, stay

asleep or get restful sleep.

Your daily routines – what you eat and drink, the medications you take, how you
schedule your

days and how you choose to spend your evenings – can significantly impact your quality
of

sleep. Even a few slight adjustments can, in some cases, mean the difference between
sound

sleep and a restless night.

The term “sleep hygiene” refers to a series of habits and rituals that can improve your
ability to

fall asleep and stay asleep. Board certified sleep physicians recommend following a
series of

common-sense, healthy sleep habits to promote better sleep.

These healthy sleep habits are a cornerstone of cognitive behavioral therapy, the most
effective

long-term treatment for patients with insomnia. CBT-I can help you address the
detrimental

thoughts and behaviors that are preventing you from sleeping. It also includes
techniques for

stress reduction, relaxation and sleep schedule management.

Sleep specialists recommend that you follow the healthy sleep habits that are
highlighted in this

article. If you have difficulty sleeping or want to improve your sleep, try following these
sleep

hygiene tips. If your sleep problem persists, the AASM recommends that you seek help
from the

sleep team at an AASM accredited sleep center.

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

This research paper was prepared and stored very carefully to answer the following questions:

1. Do you have a problem about your sleeping?

2. How long have you had Difficulty with sleep?

 3. Have your problem with sleep gotten worse?

4. What do you think is causing your sleep problem?

5. With whom do your share a bedroom?

6. In the last two weeks, have you slept in the same bed?

7. What time do you usually go to bed on school days?

8. What is the main reason you usually go to bed at this time on school days?

9. What time do you usually wake up on weekends?

10. What is the main reason you usually wake up at this time on weekends?

11. Figure out how long you usually sleep on a night when you do not have school the next

day (such as a weekends night) and fill it in here

RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS

The hypothesis was formulated and tested at the level of significance.

There are no significant Effect of Sleeping habits on Education

IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY

Teens all over the world need the same amount of sleep, and they need it at the same times.
Yet, it seems as the whole world may be turning a blind eye to this serious topic. This study
helps us to know the importance of sleep in every student.
 SCOPE AND LIMITATION OF THE STUDY

Today, an overwhelming majority of high school students are not getting enough sleep. This lack
of sleep is a serious problem, especially as students are doing more than ever with their time.
They come to school early, spend hours listening to teachers and taking tests, then run off to
practices and meetings, and come home to be faced with even more work. And the homework
load these days is not light; teachers assign hours worth of homework each night. Our nation’s
teenagers require just as much sleep as they did when they were younger, and they are simply
not getting this much needed rest.

General Purpose: To determine if their significant Effect of sleep in every student. On their

Education

Populatio: High School Students.

Locale of the study: Bagong Silang Caloocan City.

Period of the study: School Year 2014 – 2015.

Definition of terms
 This article is about sleep mostly in humans. For non-human sleep, see Sleep (non-
human). For other uses, see Sleep (disambiguation).

"Waking up", "Asleep", and "Slept" redirect here. For other uses, see Waking Up
(disambiguation), Asleep (disambiguation), or SLEPT analysis.

Sleeping is associated with a state of muscle relaxation and limited perception of environmental stimuli.

In animals, sleep is a naturally recurring state characterized by altered consciousness,

relatively inhibited sensory activity, and inhibition of nearly all voluntary muscles.[1] It is
distinguished from wakefulness by a decreased ability to react to stimuli, and it is more
easily reversible than being in hibernation or a coma.

During sleep, most systems in an animal are in a heightened anabolic state, accentuating
the growth and rejuvenation of the immune, nervous, skeletal, and muscular
systems. Sleep in non-human animals is observed in mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians,
and fish, and in some form in insects and even in simpler animals such as nematodes,
suggesting that sleep is universal in the animal kingdom.

The purposes and mechanisms of sleep are only partially clear and the subject of
substantial ongoing research.[2] Sleep is sometimes thought to help conserve energy,
though this theory is not fully adequate as it only decreases metabolism by about 5–
10%.[3][4] Additionally it is observed that mammals require sleep even during the
hypometabolic state of hibernation, in which circumstance it is actually a net loss of
energy as the animal returns from hypothermia to euthermia in order to sleep.[5]

In most societies people sleep during the night, but in very hot climates they may sleep
during the day.[6] During Ramadan, many Muslims sleep during the day rather than at
night[7] and people working nights try to sleep in the daytime. Humans may suffer from a
number of sleep disorders. These include dyssomnias (such as insomnia, hypersomnia,
and sleep apnea), parasomnias (such as sleepwalking and REM behavior disorder), and
the circadian rhythm sleep disorders.
 CHAPTER II

RELATED LITERATURE

Historical Sleeping Habits

According to Ekirch's argument, typically individuals slept in two distinct phases, bridged by an
intervening period of wakefulness of approximately one hour. People also used this time to pray
and reflect, and to interpret dreams, which were more vivid at that hour than upon waking in the
morning. This was also a favorite time for scholars and poets to write uninterrupted, whereas
still others visited neighbors, had sex, or engaged in petty crime.

The human circadian rhythm regulates the human sleep-wake cycle of wakefulness during the day
and sleep at night. Ekirch suggests that it is due to the modern use of electric lighting that most
modern humans do not practice segmented sleep, which is a concern for some
scientists. Superimposed on this basic rhythm is a secondary one of light sleep in the early
afternoon and quiet wakefulness in the early morning.

The brain exhibits high levels of the pituitary hormone prolactin during the period of nighttime
wakefulness, which may contribute to the feeling of peace that many people associate with it. It
is in many ways similar to the hypnagogic and hypnopompic states which occur just before falling
asleep and upon waking, respectively.

The modern popular assumption, that consolidated sleep with no awakenings is the normal and
correct way for human adults to sleep, may lead people to consult their doctors fearing they
have maintenance insomnia or other sleep disorders. If Ekirch's hypothesis is correct, their
concerns might best be addressed by reassurance that their sleep conforms to historically
natural sleep patterns.

The two periods of night sleep in Ekirch's theory were called "first sleep" (occasionally "dead
sleep") and "second sleep" (or "morning sleep") in medieval England. Ekirch finds that first and
second sleep were also the terms in the Romance languages, as well as the Tiv of Nigeria: In
French, the common term was premier sommeil or premier somme; in Italian, primo sonno; in

Latin, primo somno or comcubia nocte. He found no common word in English for the period of
wakefulness between, apart from paraphrases such as first waking or when one wakes from
his first sleep and the generic watch (in its old meaning of being awake). In old French an
equivalent generic term is dorveille (aportmanteau of the French words dormir (“to sleep”)
and veiller ("to be awake")).

Ekirch suggests that, because members of modern industrialised societies, with late hours
facilitated by electric lighting, mostly do not practice segmented sleep, they may misinterpret
and mistranslate references to it in literature: common interpretations of the term "first sleep"
are "beauty sleep" and "early slumber". A reference to first sleep in theOdyssey was translated as
such in the seventeenth century, but, if Ekirch's hypothesis is correct, was universally
mistranslated in the twentieth.

 METHOD OF RESEARCH AND PROCEDURES

The study was conducted the discussion of search design the respondents of the

discussion of the study, the instrumentation and the statistical tools used to analyze

data.

METHOD OF THE STUDY

The descriptive survey method of research was applied on this study. This method

designed to gather information about the present, existing conditions. The main objective

of this method is employed to describe the nature of the situation exist at the time of the

study. The method involves collection of data in order to test the hypothesis or to

answerquestions concerning the installed values of respondents of the study.

RESEARCH DESIGN

This study utilized a descriptive method of research, which can be defined as a

purposive process of gathering and analyzing, classifying and organization data about

existing condition and making adequate interpretation about such data whenever

possible, valid general conclusion could be drawn from the facts discovered.
A survey dealing with peoples perception and feelings in concretion with sociological and

psychological variables would be classified as a survey research. And whenever a group

of subject differs from itself and one desire to know in what ways and to what extent

these objects differs from one another, the descriptive approach is appropriate.

RESEARCH INSTRUMENT

The instrument used to collect data was the questionnaire. The questionnaire has

variables formulated to gather related data. The researcher utilized the teacher-made

questionnaire structured in such way that it elicited answer to the specific problems and

the formulated null hypothesis. The researcher had relevant readings from books,

theses, reports, and the like to provide her idea on how to proceed and construct the

questionnaire.

RESPONDENTS DATA

The main source of data was derived from the questionnaire given that were answered

by fifty (50) selected High School Student in Golden Valley College.

THE VALIDATION OF QUESTIONNAIRE

The questionnaire were validate through the following steps: first, the researcher

prepared the preliminary draft and submitted to the thesis adviser for improvement.

Second, the researcher improved the final draft by the help of the adviser due to some

changes, which were needed to include in the research.

Sources of data

The respondents who contribute in this study were the High School Student of Golden

Valley College From Grade 7 – Grade 9.

Data gathering procedure
