Abstract
According to the 2016 Healthy Living Index Survey, 46% of Filipinos don’t get
enough sleep. Nowadays, being sleep deprived is normal; members of society have
learned to cope with sleep deprivation. Studies show that sleep deprivation has
negative effects on both physical and mental health of humans, which may have the
same impact on humans’ performance. The researchers wanted to shed light on the
topic of the effects of sleep deprivation to academic performance, specifically, how
does sleep deprivation affect the academic performance of grade 12 STEM students
S.Y.2018-2019 of STI College Fairview. The researchers used the survey research
design to carry out the research and used convenience sampling to determine their
sample. The researchers found that most of grade 12 STEM students get a
moderate amount of sleep, averaging around 4-7 hours. The researchers also found
that even with the varying sleep lengths the average grades of the grade 12 STEM
students vary around 85-95, which is pretty high. Hence the researchers concluded
that the grade 12 STEM students of STI College Fairview S.Y. 2018-2019 have been
able to maintain a pretty decent average despite sacrificing their own sleep.

Introduction
This chapter provides a quick rundown of the study. It will include the
statement of the research problem, as well as its significance and purpose. It will
also include some background information about the research topic, the theoretical
framework the researchers used and some assumptions the researchers had while
conducting the study.
It is vital to find out how sleep deprivation affects students’ output in school,
the basis of knowing whether or not they will become effective members of the
workforce and the society someday. In Gilbert’s and Weaver’s study conducted in
2010 on non-depressed college students, they found that sleep deprivation/poor
quality of sleep correlated to lower grade point averages. As such, the researchers
were eager to find out if the findings of Gilbert and Weaver in their study will hold
true in the setting of STI College Fairview. The researchers aimed to

enlighten/broaden the knowledge of the public about the effects of sleep deprivation
on students’ performance. The researchers used the quantitative research method
to seek the effects of sleep deprivation to the academic performance of the grade 12
STEM students of STI College Fairview.

will answer a hybrid dichotomous – multiple choice questionnaire, consisting of
questions seeking their sleep quantity and their second marking period average.

This chapter will discuss foreign and local related literature to the study and
the findings of five local and foreign related studies on the topic of sleep deprivation
on academic performance.
being awake”
Mikee Rodriquez found the same exact impact of lack of sleep on academic
performance in his study conducted on 100 students of New Cabalen National High
school that students become tardy in class. While in Suminal’s R. et al. 2012 study
they found that students have a harder time understanding the lessons taught by
teachers because they had trouble paying attention in class. 10
deprivation can cause the neurons to become sluggish thus making it difficult for the
brain cells to communicate effectively, which can cause mental lapses, which can
impair memory and visual perception.
In the study of Lowry M., Dean K. and Manders K. “The Link Between Sleep
Quantity and Academic Performance for the College Student” (2010), their “results
indicated a significant positive correlation between amount of sleep per night with
GPA, and a significant negative correlation between average number of days per
week that students obtained less than five hours of sleep and GPA.” (Lowry et al.,
2010)
Another study that came to the same conclusion is a study conducted by
Gikunda R., Odilla G., Abura L., and Kiriungi J. They sought to find “The Effect of
Sleep Quantity on Performance of Students in Public Universities, Kenya” and their
“study concluded that lack of adequate sleep negatively affects the performance of
students in public universities in Kenya.” (Gikunda et al. 2014)
To sum things up, the consensus of previous studies conducted around the
world concluded that sleep deprivation correlates to poor academic performance.
Also in some studies, there were cases that showed the sleep quantity is directly
proportional to academic performance.

5.1 Summary
From the data collected through the questionnaire, the researchers found that
most of the grade 12 STEM students of STI College Fairview S.Y. 2018-2019 get
around either 4-5 hours or 5-7 hours of sleep each night, with 33% of the sample
having stated the former while only 30% of the sample get the latter. Also, most of
the sample (67%) wake up at around 5-6am for school, while 27% of the sample
wake up around 3-4am. Moreover, 67% of the sample goes to sleep at around 10-
12pm, while 27% of them goes to sleep around 8-9pm. Furthermore, 73% of the
sample had admitted to had fallen asleep in class before. With all of these statistics
in mind, 43% of the sample’s grade average is between 90-95 and 40% of the
sample’s grade average is between 89-85 for the third marking period. In fact, only
one participant got a grade average lower than 80 in the third marking period.
Overall, the majority of the sample is sleep deprived, though, they are still able to

Future Researchers. For future researchers that may want to follow up on this
study the researchers recommend getting a larger sample size, have the sample
record their sleep quantity and directly get the sample’s grade averages from the
institution for precise data. Also, future researchers should use an analytical tool to
find the correlation between the sleep quantity and grade averages of the sample.
