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.

1.1 Background of the Study


According to the 2016 Healthy Living Index Survey (as cited in Philippine
Daily Inquirer, 2017), 46% of Filipinos don’t get enough sleep, with 32% of them
have stated that they sleep for less than six hours. With the advent of the Digital Age
and society becoming more and more competitive, the world has come to face a
global sleep crisis. Nowadays, members of society face a common dilemma - to
work more and to work harder in order to become successful whilst simultaneously
compromising their sleep. Research shows that sleep deprivation raises a serious
red flag to our health; it increases the risk of high blood pressure, obesity, and
diabetes. While to the brain, it vitiates it. Sleep deprivation degrades the prefrontal
cortex region of the brain, the region in charge of decision making, personality 4

expression, moderating social behaviour, and planning complex cognitive behaviour


(Killgore WD 2010).

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
STI COLLEGE FAIRVIEW

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.

1.2 Theoretical Framework

and academic performance of the sample in a table and pie charts.

1.3 Research Hypotheses


The researchers made the following assumptions while conducting the study;
1. The participants of the study answered the questionnaire truthfully.
2. The participants’ academic performance is a direct result of their sleep
quantity.
The researchers hypothesize that the sleep quantity of grade 12 STEM students of
STI College Fairview will have a directly proportional relationship with the academic
performance of the sample.

Introduction
STI COLLEGE FAIRVIEW

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.

2.1 Local & Foreign Related Literature

How to tell if you’re sleep deprived

According to the National Sleep Foundation Org., Teenagers (13-17 years


old) should sleep for 8-10 hours per night, while young adults (18-25 years old)
should sleep around 7-9 hours per night, hence having slept less than the
recommend time frame would be considered as sleep deprived.
Some signs of sleep deprivation according to the US Department of Health
and Services are the following:
 “Feeling drowsy during the day
 Routinely falling asleep within only 5 minutes of lying down in bed for the
night
 Experiencing "microsleeps," which are very brief episodes of sleep while 9

being awake”

Effects of sleep deprivation to the brain


As aforementioned in the background of the study, sleep deprivation
deteriorates the brain’s functions; it can affect our ability to think clearly, form
memories and our reflexes. It can also affect our mood; it can make people more
irritable (NICHD.) Edilberto Gonzaga, a professor in the Department of Psychology
of the University of St. Thomas reiterated this. According to him sleep deprivation
can negatively affect how we socialize/interact with others; it can cause people to be
moody and hot-headed.

2.2 Local Related Studies


In Aragon’s I. et al. study titled “Epekto ng Sapat at Kulang na Pagtulog sa
Estudyante” where they surveyed one hundred students from different universities in
the Philippines, they concluded that having adequate amount of sleep will result in
better physical, mental, logical, sociological and intellectual capabilities of students
(Aragon I. et al.)  

Moreover, Samantha Ocampo’s study titled “EPEKTO NG KAKULANGAN


NG TULOG SA ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE,” where she looked into the effects of
lack of sleep in the academic performance of fifty students majoring in different fields
in St. Dominic School of Asia S.Y. 2014-2015, she found that most students who
had not slept well in the prior night ended up being late and tardy in class and were
not able to socialize with peers effectively thus affecting their academic performance
negatively.

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

2.3 Foreign Related Studies


In Dr. Itzhak Fried’s study, a professor of neurosurgery at the University of
California, Los Angeles (UCLA) he “discovered that starving the body of sleep also
robs neurons of the ability to function properly.” In other words, they found that sleep
STI COLLEGE FAIRVIEW

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)

In a study conducted “to identify sleep patterns and frequency of daytime


sleepiness and to assess the association between sleep duration and academic
performance among (364) student pharmacists,” (Zeek et al., 2015) found that 11
“adequate sleep the night prior to an examination was positively associated with
student course grades and semester GPAs.”(Zeek et al., 2015)

Furthermore, in Wahlstrom K.L. study in 2016 where he “examined the


outcomes for 9,395 students at eight high schools across the U.S. that implemented
later start times, from 8:00 a.m. to 8:55 a.m,” (Wahlstrom K.L. 2016) he found that
students of schools with the latest start times have the greatest academic
achievements, due to the fact that students had more time to sleep in.
STI COLLEGE FAIRVIEW

Additionally, a study conducted in Norway on 7798 adolescents age 16-19


years old found that “short sleep duration and sleep deficit were the sleep measures
with the highest odds of poor GPA (lowest quartile). Weekday bedtime was
associated significantly with GPA, with adolescents going to bed between 10-11 PM
having the best GPA. Also, delayed sleep schedule during weekends was
associated with poor academic performance.” (Hysing et al., 2016)

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.

Introduction
This chapter discusses the following; the method of research used to carry
out the study, the sampling method used in determining the sample, as well as, the
data collection procedure and how the researchers analysed their data.
STI COLLEGE FAIRVIEW

3.1 Research Design


This study was conducted using the survey research design method under
the umbrella of quantitative research design, in order to determine the effects of
sleep deprivation to the grade 12 STEM students of STI College Fairview. The
quantitative research method is a method of research where the variables to be
studied are quantified, in the case of the study the two quantified variables are the
sleep quantity of the sample and their grade average. The survey research design
method is a type of quantitative research design where the researchers’ main tool of
collecting data from the sample is through survey or questionnaire.

3.2 Population
The target population of this study is the grade 12 STEM students of STI 13
College Fairview.

3.3 Sampling Method


The researchers used the convenience sampling method to determine the
sample of the study. The convenience sampling method, “is a specific type of non-
probability sampling method that relies on data collection from population members
who are conveniently available to participate in study.” (Saunders, M., Lewis, P. &
Thornhill, A. (2012.) In the case of the study, the researchers handed out the
questionnaires to 30 grade 12 STEM students that were conveniently roaming
around the halls or didn’t have class at the time.

3.4 Demographics

Summary, Conclusion, & Recommendation

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

maintain a high grade average.

5.2 Conclusion

In conclusion, as speculated, most of the grade 12 STEM students are sleep

deprived, with most of them only getting around 4-7 hours of sleep below the NSF

recommended time of at least 7 hours. However, a majority of the sample get

decent-high grades (43% getting a grade average of 95-90 and 40% with a grade

average of 89-85.) Thus, the hypothesis of the researchers was proven wrong, in the

case of the grade 12 STEM students of STI College Fairview S.Y. 2018-2019 their

grades didn’t fall as their sleep quantity.

5.3 Recommendations

As discovered in the study, the grade 12 STEM students of STI College

Fairview S.Y. 2018 – 2019 sacrifice their own sleep to maintain good grades, which

is not something to be proud of; there is nothing heroic about comprising your body’s

way of rebooting and recharging itself to accomplish something. Hence the

researchers recommend the following;

Institutions. Institutions should teach students about time management; they should

have seminars/assemblies/talks about time management so students don’t have to

“pull all nighters” just to remain an honor student.


STI COLLEGE FAIRVIEW

Parents. Parents should do their part at home and teach their kids about time

management. They should also monitor their kids’ progress on passing deadlines;

they should be constantly reminding their kids about their school work and 28

encourage them to finish their deadlines ahead of time.

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.
