Background of the Study

Introduction

Each one of us needs sleep in our daily lives. When this sleep came to the point where

you only get it for an hour or two every single day, it is automatically called Sleep

Deprivation. According Blaivas, 2021, Sleep Deprivation means you’re not getting enough

sleep. If a person does not get an average of 7 to 8 hours of sleep, it could lead to many health

problems.

In our daily lives, we need to function fully to give the best result in our tasks. In this

reason, we need enough sleep to maximize our capability to move, to work and to function.

Lack of sleep means we aren’t fully recharged to do work. If we are always exerting

ourselves in working pass our limits, we may not do it properly, or worse we may get sick.

Nowadays, getting sick is the worst-case scenario to happen in our lives. Since it is pandemic,

we need to take care of ourselves 100% more than before.

Sleep deprivation among students is no joke. And since the new mode of learning is

challenging everyone, it has to be hard for the students. Factors that cause sleep deprivation

has a lot to keep in mind by the people concerned. It may result to insomnia, anxiety, panic

attacks, memory loss, attention span shortening, excellence lacking works and more if not

observed and aided properly. One thing that primarily causes sleep deprivation among

students is because of their pending workloads in school. Staying up late is their solution to

comply to all of the requirements that is needed to be passed. If they need to pass it on-time,

they need to do it as early as they can to polish it more, risking the sleep there body needs.

Sleep deprivation doubles the odds of making place keeping errors and triples the number of

3
lapses in attention (Fenn, 2019). The statement said by the researcher aims to say that if a

person is sleep deprived, many problems would arise to the person. Sleep deprivation is

impactful to our lives, no matter what perspective you are into. The effect of sleep

deprivation on performance is so crucial as what is stated. Furthermore, people tend to stretch

their capacity and compromise their nightly sleep, thus becoming chronically sleep deprived

(National Sleep Foundation, 2007). In line with the topic, sleep deprivation surely affects the

academic performance of the students. They may be pressured, afraid of failing etc. that

keeps them awake every night with doses of coffee in their table. And, when we’re talking

about coffee, we can say it keeps us awake but it has side effects that can damage our

wellbeing. Moderation is not enough to control our sleep.

Nowadays, sleep is needed by our body. Our body needs to rest and deserves to be

pampered after all those things it has done. Resting is okay, find ways to relax before

pressuring yourself on a much complex works. If sleeping is also a problem, try to find

comfort in ways you find relaxing, coping mechanisms they say. As much as we’re leaving,

we should enjoy and take care of ourselves because our life is only temporary and let us make

the best out of it. Don’t be too devoured by those what affects you, rest, enjoy and get the

sleep you deserve.

Research Questions  
This study seeks to determine the factors that causes sleep deprivation among the

Senior High School students in Labrador National High School.

Specifically, it seeks to answer the following questions:  

1. What is the socio-demographic profile of the Senior High School students in terms of:

a. Age

b. Sex

c. Grade level

d. Strand

2. What factors that leads to the Academic Strand Senior High School Students to be sleep-

deprived?

3. How many hours of sleep does the respondent manage to get?

4. What are their strategies in managing sleep?  

Scope and Limitations of the Study

The study involved a sample of 40 Senior High School students as our respondents

from both Grade 11 and 12 of Labrador National High School, ranging from 15-18 years of

age, both male and female students of Academic Strands (HUMSS, ABM, STEM). The

respondents will be given a set of questions and let them answer through GOOGLE FORMS.

This research focused on the factors that leads to sleep deprivation provided by the Senior

6
High School students in line of their sleeping experience. It will also discuss their strategies

to manage their time of sleep.

Hypothesis

The researchers came up with hypotheses for the possible outcome of the research

project. The following null (Ho) and alternative (H1) hypothesis are stated below:

Ho – There is no factors that causes sleep deprivation among students.

H1 – There are factors that causes sleep deprivation among students.

Significance of the study

For further developed understanding for the students, teachers, parents, researchers,

and future researchers, those stated would benefit greatly from the findings of the study:

Students – understudies and the respondent are all academic track (HUMSS, ABM,

STEM) students from Labrador National High School. This review is especially huge for

youngsters / understudies who are experiencing sleep deprivation that affects their everyday

performances. Exercising to develop an effective way to cope up with this can effectively

help the student to deal with it.

Teachers – this review will give an adequate data to the educators of Labrador National

High School; in this way they can recreate a customary study hall technique to assist their

students. This review might help the educators on how they might speak with their

understudy.

Parents – in this study, parents’ involvement also contribute on the student’s

wellbeing. They can be the source of motivation for the education and information

acquisition of the students. They should not a burden on their youngsters to get good grades.

Instead, they should place a greater emphasis on the value of education.

7
 Researchers – The process and outcome of this research study will produce great

satisfaction to us, the researchers.

Future researchers – This research may conserve as a guide for other researchers

conducting studies about the factors that causes sleep deprivation that affects everyday

performances.

 CHAPTER II

Review of Related Literature and Studies

This chapter includes the review of related literature and studies which the researchers

have perused to shed light on the topic under study.

Foreign Studies

The effects of chronic sleep deprivation or a shallow sleep pattern repeated for several

days tend to add up and approximate the effects of a few dozen hours of acute sleep loss.

Such consequences at work obstruct the proper performance of many important duties and in

severe instances (machine operation or vehicle driving), sleep loss can be dangerous to the

person and his or her surroundings become more likely. The impairment in performance

caused by 20-25 hours of sleeplessness is comparable to that caused by ethanol intoxication

at a blood alcohol concentration of 0.10 percent. On the testimony of Everson, C.A.(1998).

Experiments in humans, where sleep deprivation is often of short duration, and in laboratory

rats, where sleep deprivation is sustained to allow pathophysiological alterations to evolve,

are summarized. Sleep deprivation is ubiquitous in modern life, yet its far-reaching

consequences on cognitive performance are only beginning to be recognized from a scientific

perspective, according to Killgore, W. D. (2010).

Researchers can now begin to recognize the physiological effects of sleep deprivation

in humans and the role of sleep deprivation in disease thanks to laboratory studies in rats that

have delineated key areas important to advancing our understanding of the scope and nature

of the harmful effects of sleep deprivation. The interconnected domains of brain and body

metabolism, neuroendocrine regulation, and immunity are important in determining the

effects of sleep deprivation. These systems are widespread, and defects in them could explain

how sleep deprivation causes subtle pathogenicity, as well as why pathogenic foci have yet to

be discovered, despite sleep's vital role in life and health.

10
 Study says that 16 males who are healthy right-handed (aged 21–27 years) took a

daytime clinical diagnostic and psychological test, according to Vein, A. M., Dallakyan, I. G.,

Levin, Y. I., and Skakun, K. É. (1983). During the second night, the polygram of nocturnal

sleep was recorded (after 1 night of adaptation). The third night was set aside for sleep

deprivation (SD), during which the S was watched but not physically or mentally strained.

The psychological examination was repeated the next day after the SD, followed by the

nocturnal polygraph recording (recovery). The daytime psychological test was made up of a

series of unique measures aimed at detecting real and personality changes caused by SD. The

results reveal that SD was tolerated well, with the subject being awake for 36 hours without

exerting any effort. The night of recovery was marked by increased sleep duration, a higher

percentage of deep, calm sleep, decreased motor activity, and other qualitative changes.

Various psychological tests revealed evidence of a change in interhemispheric interactions

following SD-activation of the right hemisphere. Based on the study of Gabriel Natan Pires,

Andreia Gomes Bezerra, Sergio Tufik, and Monica Levy Andersen (2016) in Sleep

Medicine's article Effects of acute sleep deprivation on state anxiety levels: a comprehensive

review and meta-analysis. One of the most serious repercussions of sleep loss has long been

recognized: increased anxiety. Despite this general agreement, there are still certain parts of

this relationship that are unknown, such as the degree of anxiogenic potential and the specific

impacts of several types of sleep deprivation. They conducted a systematic review and meta-

analysis of the effects of sleep loss on state anxiety because no extensive evaluation had been

conducted to investigate this link. They identified 756 articles using their search approach,

which included two databases: PubMed/Medline and Scopus. Following the screening

procedure, their final sample consisted of 18 articles comprising 34 experiments. Their

findings shows that sleep deprivation, whether total or partial, increases state anxiety levels

significantly, whereas sleep restriction does not. There were no significant results when it

11
came to the influence of the length of the sleep deprivation period, although there was a

noticeable propensity for anxiety to rise with longer sleep deprivations.

In manipulations of the sleep-wake cycle, whether in terms of duration (total or partial

sleep deprivation [SD]) or timing (partial SD, phase advance), have dramatic and quick

impacts on sad mood. When patients are on medicine, relapse after recovery sleep is less

likely; it can be prevented by co-administration of lithium, pindolol, serotonergic

antidepressants, intense light, or a phase advance technique. Short-term reaction to SD and

long-term response to antidepressant medication treatment are both predicted by diurnal and

day-today mood fluctuation. The "two-process model of mood regulation", based on the well-

established model for sleep regulation, the interaction of circadian and homeostatic processes

can be used to explain these mood patterns. Changes in disrupted circadian- and sleep-wake

dependent phase connections, as well as a simultaneous increase in slow-wave-sleep

pressure, are thought to be responsible for SD's therapeutic effect; additionally, SD-induced

sleepiness may counterbalance the hyper arousal state in depression. This approach has the

advantage of offering a full theoretical framework as well as severe methods to isolate certain

disturbances ("continuous routine, "forced desynchrony"). Many elements of SD activity are

consistent with existing serotonergic receptor ideas. A medication that induces euthymia in

severely depressed people within hours has matured to the point that it may be used in

clinical practice.

Local Study

Based on the study of Delos Reyes, R.C., Ababao, A.M.L., Cabatay, A.G.A.,

Fernandez, S.M.D., Homoroc Z.C.V., & Luna S.M.A. (2019), there is no important

relationship between sleep and GPA, there are some literary studies say that a person should

12
sleep at least seven hours to work optimally. Type of learner who are exposed to social media

and being pressured to study for almost whole night are some of the factors recognized by the

students who participated in their academic performance. Students also recognized that the

ability to focus on school activities is lower when sleep is denied. Daytime sleep also occurs

when they do not have enough time in sleep-heads to hinder their participation in school.

Majority of the respondents agree that the number of hours of sleep affected the academic

performance of the individual, while the rest stated that the number of hours of sleep alone

did not affect their academic performance owing to other factors to be considered, such as the

schedule of grades, subjects, professors and regular activities. As mentioned by R. Tan

(2018), we worked at least 8 hours, some work as jobs a day, consuming the largest amount

of energy we can mobilize every day of our lives. With full knowledge of how we work, we

are also expected to get the most effective and qualitative sleep we can get the energy we

spent the day. So, we invest in sleep, and sleep deprivation can lead to a significant reduction

in the quality of the public life of the individual, and while the poor night's sleep is

sometimes not a fundamental problem, continued sleep deprivation can be. There is no

alternative restorative sleep, studies have confirmed that good sleep leads to improved

learning, problem-solving skills, creativity, focus and concentrations, and the opposite

frequently causes anxiety, poor concentration, loss of focus and depression.

Legitimate rest has been shown to help understudy perform better in school the next

day, particularly in confounded tasks. Settling on choice and energetic consistent quality is in

addition impacted by the perfect measure of incredible rest. As stated in the study Sleep

deprivation accelerated Alzheimer's brain damage by Philippine News Agency (2019). Sleep

deprivation increases levels of the key Alzheimer's protein tau, and sleeplessness accelerates

the spread of toxic clumps of tau through the brain, a harbinger of brain damage and a

decisive step along the path to dementia, according to researchers at Washington University

13
School of Medicine in St. Louis. The researchers measured tau levels in the fluid surrounding

brain cells in mice with normal and disrupted sleep to see if lack of sleep was directly forcing

tau levels upward. They have discovered that tau levels in the fluid surrounding brain cells

were about twice as high at night, when the animals were more awake and active, than during

the day, when the mice dozed off more frequently. Researchers found that a sleepless night

caused tau levels to rise by about 50% in cerebrospinal fluid obtained from eight people after

a normal night of sleep and again after they were kept awake all night. The researchers

created genetically modified mice that could be kept awake for hours at a time by injecting

them with a harmless compound to rule out the possibility that stress or behavioral changes

were responsible for the changes in tau levels. When the chemical wears off, the mice resume

their usual sleep-wake cycle, showing no signs of stress or need for additional sleep. The

researchers discovered that staying awake for a long time increases tau levels to grow in these

mice. Overall, the data indicate that tau is released during waking hours because of regular

thinking and doing, and that this release is reduced during sleep, allowing tau to be cleaned

away. Sleep deprivation breaks this cycle, allowing tau to accumulate up and increasing the

likelihood of the protein forming dangerous tangles. Tau tangles appear in memory-related

areas of the brain, such as the hippocampus and entorhinal cortex, in persons with

Alzheimer's disease, and subsequently spread to other parts of the brain. Disrupted sleep also

increased the release of syncline protein, a hallmark of Parkinson's disease, according to the

researchers. People with Parkinson's disease, like those with Alzheimer's disease, frequently

suffer sleep issues. As said by Preciosa S. Soliven (2016), while resting our mind stays

occupied with managing a wide assortment of organic support that keeps your body running

in top condition, setting you up for the day ahead. Without enough extended periods of

therapeutic rest, you will not have the option to work, learn, make, and convey at a level

really near your actual potential. Routinely hold back on "administration" and you are set out

14
toward a significant mental and actual break down. It is currently accepted that the "nature of

our rest straightforwardly influences the nature of our cognizant existence, including our

usefulness, passionate equilibrium, innovativeness, actual imperativeness, and surprisingly

our weight."

Research Methodology

This chapter presents and discusses the research design, the population and sampling,

data gathering instrument, validity and reliability of instrument, data gathering procedures

and statistical treatment and analysis.

Research Design

The researchers used descriptive design for this study. It describes the primary signs

and symptoms of sleep deprivation, including excessive daytime sleepiness and daytime

impairment such as reduced concentration, slower thinking, and mood changes. This research

investigates the factors of sleep deprivation and how it affects the academic performance of

the students.

Population of the Study

The target population for this study is defined to include Senior High students in

Labrador National High School, who were from STEM, ABM, AND HUMSS strand in

determining the general objective of this study.

Sample of the Population

The sample of the population for this study is forty (40) respondents of HUMSS,

ABM, and STEM Senior High students in Labrador National High School.

16
Sampling Technique

A stratified sampling method turned into used for deciding on the participants on this study.

The approach is hired to make sure that each subgroup of interest is represented. This is

acquired through the desire and availability of the respondents. Thus, the researchers permit

them to be had pattern from on hand populace to reply to the questionnaire till the required

wide variety of respondents is obtained.

Source of Data

The primary source of data of this study is the responses of the students from

Labrador National High School. Using the survey questionnaire that will be distributed to the

respondents.

Research Instrument

This study will use a survey-questionnaire. A questionnaire will be used to collect the

data needed in this study. The research instrument consists of four (4) parts. Part I, the

researchers will determine the demographic profile of the respondents in terms of, age,

gender, and strand. Part II, checkbox is the tool that the researchers used to determine the

activities that students usually do just before going off to sleep and how many hours of sleep

does students typically obtain at night. Part III, the researchers used a matrix tool to find out

how does lack of sleep affects students’ academic performance.

Validation of Research Instrument

The initial form of the survey questionnaire is tested to Senior High students from

STEM and HUMSS strand. Students were approached to respond to survey items. The survey

questionnaire is also tested and checked by the subject teacher and commented regarding the

questionnaire's validity.

17
Data Gathering Procedure

The researcher made a letter for approval to conduct the study at Labrador National

High School. After given permission, the researchers will conduct a survey of the selected

respondents. The researchers will explain the purpose corresponds to their predefined criteria.

The researchers collected the data by means of survey questionnaires that comprise there,

age, gender, and year level. The second part of the survey questionnaire presented to the

respondents will determine the problems they are experiencing. After the respondents have

completed and answered the survey, the researchers will check, tally, analyze, and assess the

results.

Statistical Treatment of Data

To analyze and interpret the data, the researchers employed the following:

1. Frequency, percentage, and weighted mean

This will help the researchers to easily tally the data they have gathered. The percentage

and ranking will be an immense help to the researchers to analysis the data. Average

weighted mean will be used to provide the answer to the questions.

2. Charts and Graphs

The researchers will make use of charts and graphs to present the data that they have

gathered. This will include the socio-demographic of the respondents that have been asked in

the survey questionnaire namely: age, gender, and strand.

 CHAPTER V

Summary of Findings, Conclusion, and Recommendations

This chapter contains summary of findings, or the research work undertaken, the

conclusions and the recommendations made as an outgrowth of this study.

Summary of Findings

This study discloses that in terms of gender, majority is female, majority of the age of

the respondents are from 18-Above age range. As to strand 50% are from Humanities and

Social Sciences (HUMSS) Strand, while 25% to both Accountancy and Business

Management (ABM) Strand and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics

(STEM) Strand. The researchers asked the respondents if they know or have knowledge

about sleep deprivation, 37 respondents said yes while the other 3 has no idea about it. The

researchers also asked the respondents to choose out of the choices what affects their

sleeping; The majority picked social media and mobile games as the factor that causes them

to be sleep deprived garnering 100% (40 respondents) choosing it. In the hours of sleep part,

the respondents chose how many hours they approximately get on sleeping. 9 respondents

chose 8-9 hours of sleep, 21 respondents chose 6-7 hours of sleep, 10 respondents chose 6-7

hours of sleep while no one chose the less than 4 hours of sleep. The respondents were also

asked what time they usually go to sleep, 15 respondents sleep past 12:00 A.M., 15

respondents sleep at 11:00 P.M.-12:00 A.M., 9 respondents sleep at 9:00-10:00 P.M. while

only one respondent is sleeping at 6:00-7:00 P.M. Lastly, based on the data gathered by the

researchers, the highest weighted mean is 4.48 which specifies that social media and mobile

games really do affect their sleep thus making them sleep deprived.

30
 The General Weighted Mean, which counts to 3.72 tells that the respondents agree

that social media and mobile games is the primary factor that makes them sleep deprived.

Conclusion

Based on the findings, the study concludes that the factors that causes them to be

sleep deprived are social media, mobile games, bad dreams, school workloads, insomnia,

nature call, external disturbance, and physical pain. The researchers also concluded that the

primary factors to the students to be sleep deprived are social media interactions and mobile

games which is relevant up to this day. Sleep deprivation is a relevant topic especially to

students because of the pandemic and the online distance learning. All of the things have

changed that is why this sleep deprivation has a wide effect to everyone.

Recommendations

Based on the result of the study and conclusions made, the researchers recommend

that students should limit the use of their gadgets to control and minimize being sleep

deprived. Since social media and mobile games consumes a lot on a person’s existence, the

researchers thought that maybe reconnecting to family or doing some healthy stuffs might be

helpful in reducing being sleep deprived. Having a healthy and reasonable schedule will also

help, time management is the key to efficiently finish all the tasks and to control the time.

The researchers also recommend using the pomodoro technique in order to fix the body clock

of the person.
