    This student conducted a research project on how sleep affects high school performance. The student hypothesized that students who get less sleep would perform worse and have a harder time paying attention in class. The student designed a survey to collect data from high schoolers about their sleep habits, homework schedule, feelings in school, sleeping in class, ability to focus, and GPA. The student found that sleep seems to affect how students feel during the day but does not significantly impact academic performance based on GPA. The results disproved the original hypothesis.
