Introduction

Sleep is a fundamental physiological need that plays a crucial role

in the overall well-being and functioning of individuals. For high school

students, especially those in their senior years, the quality and quantity of

sleep can have a profound impact on various aspects of their lives,

including their academic performance. The teenage years are marked by

significant physical, psychological, and social changes, making sleep an

essential factor in maintaining health and academic success. This study

aims to explore and analyze the intricate relationship between sleeping

patterns and the academic performance of senior high school students.

The consequences of disrupted sleep patterns can be far-reaching,

particularly in the academic sphere. Sleep deprivation and poor sleep

quality can impair cognitive function, including memory, attention, and

problem-solving abilities, all of which are essential for successful

learning and academic performance. Additionally, sleep-deprived

students may experience heightened stress levels, mood disturbances, and

compromised physical health, further impacting their ability to excel

academically.
This study seeks to contribute to the existing body of knowledge by

delving into the unique experiences of senior high school students and

their sleeping patterns. It aims to provide insights into the factors that

influence their sleep behaviors, the consequences of these patterns on

academic performance, and potential strategies for mitigating

sleep-related challenges. Ultimately, understanding this relationship is

crucial not only for educators and parents but also for students

themselves, as it empowers them to make informed decisions about their

sleep habits and, in turn, their educational success. In the following

sections, we will explore the methodology, findings, and implications of

this study in more detail.

Background of the Study

Sleep is an inseparable part of human health and life, and is pivotal

to learning and practice as well as physical and mental health. Studies

have suggested that insufficient sleep, increased frequency of short-term

sleep, and going to sleep late and getting up early affect the learning

capacity, academic performance, and neurobehavioral functions. Previous

studies have indicated that the quantity of sleep reported by individuals as

delayed or inappropriate sleep, waking up too late, especially at weekends

and daytime sleepiness is associated with compromised academic

performance in children and adults. Some studies have emphasized the


relationship between delayed starting time of classes and academic

success. Reduced overnight sleep or altered sleep patterns has been

associated with severe drowsiness and failure in academic success. In a

study, people who had enough sleep compared to their sleep-deprived

individuals used innovative solutions twice as often when confronted

with complex mathematical problems. The chance of academic failure

was as long as one or more than 1 year in students with inadequate sleep

compared to those with proper sleep. People who sleep less and sleep

during the day are more prone to vehicle and work accidents. In some

studies, sleep efficiency has been considered as essential for recovery,

cognitive processing, and memory integration. On the other hand, lack of

sleep has been associated with emotional instability and impaired

concentration. In this regard, students are particularly at risk of

developing sleep disorders and development of the disorder among them

has a negative effect on their academic performance across different

grades, However, there is no consensus in this case and not all studies

state that sleep disorders yield a negative effect on academic

performance. Eliasson (2010) believes that the time it takes to fall asleep

and waking up affect academic performance more than duration of sleep

does. Sweileh and colleagues (2011) also believe that there is no

relationship between sleep quality and academic success. Similarly, it is


claimed there is no relationship between the night sleep before the exam

and test scores either.

In another study, the author believes stress from lack of sleep

causes poor school performance. On the other hand, in a systematic

review, the authors could not establish a cause and effect relationship

between sleep quality and academic performance. In their meta-analysis

study, Dewald and colleagues (2010) emphasized that because of the

diversity of the methodology of studies, it is impossible to definitely

derive a relationship between sleep quality and academic performance,

and thus more longitudinal intervention studies are warranted. According

to different conclusions in this respect, the researchers decided to

determine the relationship between sleep quality and academic

performance among students at Kermanshah University of Medical

Sciences.

Conceptual Framework

This part of chapter one represents the Conceptual Framework of

this research. This chapter includes the significant concepts from the

literature review that is used for the study.


Significance of the Study

The significance of this study is to know how sleeping patterns can

affect the academic performance of a senior high school student. Sleep is

a fundamental aspect of overall health and well-being. Investigating the

relationship between sleep and academic performance underscores the

importance of maintaining good sleep habits for students' physical and

mental health. To understand how sleep patterns impact academic

performance can provide insights into strategies for enhancing learning

outcomes and helping students reach their full potential.

Statement of the Problem


This Research is a study on how sleeping patterns can affect the

academic performance of a senior high school student. Specifically, the

following research questions are aimed to be answered in the study;

1. What are the prevailing sleep patterns among senior high school

students in terms of sleep duration, sleep quality, and regularity of

sleep schedules?

2. How do these sleep patterns impact the academic performance of

senior high school students?

3. What are the key factors influencing the sleep patterns of senior

high school students, including academic workload, extracurricular

activities, social pressures, and the use of electronic devices before

bedtime?
