INTRODUCTION

Rationale

Sleep is very essential in our lives it allows us to regain more energy and process our

minds better. According to Gulia & Kumar (2020), Good sleep is important for the health and

well-being of people of all ages; however, given the current difficult circumstances, sleep, which

accounts for nearly one-third of our lives, should be prioritized in order to achieve better

community. It has a lot of great benefits for our bodies Not only does it put everyone in a

positive mood, but this also prevents us from gaining weight. Furthermore, it has great impact on

our emotions and mentality. Sleeping it just as important as eating, driving, and bathing. It’s like

a basic necessity in our lives. We must do it efficiently day after day.

According to (Shrof 1 2020), Teens 12 to 18 years old should sleep 8 to 9 hours per day.

But unfortunately, many of them seem to have a hard time meeting this standard. The author also

states that it turns out that many teenagers actually may need more sleep than in previous years.

However, for many teenagers, social pressures conspire against getting the proper amount and

quality of sleep (Johnson 2020), summarizes that the ideal time to sleep and wake up will differ

depending on the individual. In specific, people should try to sleep a few hours after dark and

start waking up with the first few hours of daylight. (Cherney 2019) states that the better the

quality of sleep you get, the less likely you are to experience significant daytime sleepiness.

According to (Carskadon et al., 2006 as cited by Dimitriou et al., 2015) habitual weeknight

sleep loss gets worse as individuals advance through their teenage years. As students get closer

1
to being adults, the greater the task will be. And since they're overloaded with schoolwork,

finding time to fall asleep becomes more and more difficult.

Sleep deprivation or lack of sleep makes a person susceptible to illness and other

implications. Aside from that, students who didn't get enough sleep will feel tired, drowsy, and

sleep during class hours. There is a lot of schoolwork nowadays, which prevents students from

sleeping. The fear of not finishing and submitting the tasks on time keeps them awake. As a

result, the researcher intends to conduct this study in order to determine how many students are

sleep deprived by learning about the perspectives and experiences of the chosen students.

Furthermore, to promote a balanced lifestyle in which students can improve their academic

performance without sleep deprivation. Finally, the researcher will offer solutions and

recommendations to help students avoid sleep deprivation. It may cause students to have

difficulties with comprehension and retention during their classes. According to (Lee et al.,

2015). The learning capacity and academic performance of adolescents may be affected by sleep

quality or quantity because sleep plays important role in attention and memory. As lack of sleep

at facts our lives, learning becomes challenging, and we become forgetful. Furthermore,

thousands of students around the globe are at risk of sleep deprivation which contributes to lower

academic outcomes and problems at the workplace (Merenheimo 2018).

Statement of the Problem

This study will focus on the academic performance of students who are sleep depriving

and the effects of sleep deprivation.

Specifically, this will seek to answer the following questions:

1.) How many students are sleep-deprived?

2.) What are the causes of sleep deprivation among students?

3.) How many hours do students usually sleep?

4.) What is the academic performance of students in school?

1.1 Written works

1.2 Performance tasks

1.3 Exam

Variables (Independent and Dependent)

In this research the Independent Variable is Sleep Deprivation because it is the main idea

and subject of this research. The dependent variable is the selected SHS students in ACLC

College of Ormoc, it is the item that the researcher is measuring for this study.

Significance of the Study

The students and future researchers particularly ACLC College of Ormoc will benefit

from the findings of this study since the study provides a basis for awareness and better

understanding of how sleep deprivation affected their academic performance. As the

study deals with the Sleep Deprivation: Its effects on Senior Highschool Students, the result

would be beneficial to the following:

Teachers. This study explains the effects of sleep deprivation, and one of them is home

works. This will be used as an eye-opening tool for the teachers to lessen activities at home and

in return do more activities inside the school.

Students. Students will be more knowledgeable on how sleep deprivation affects their

performance at school. This also brings out useful information in order to help them from sleep

deprivation.

Future Researchers. Future researchers may add more useful information and

information that is lacking from this study. This will also serve as a guide or reference for them

and give them information regarding their research topic.

Parents. This study will bring information about their child's academic performance and

how it’s being affected by factors such as sleep deprivation. By providing information parents

will be proactive regarding their child’s sleep and performance.

Scope and Delimitations

The researchers focuses only on the Effects of Sleep Deprivation on the Academic

Performance of the selected SHS students of ACLC College of Ormoc. The researcher believed

that the SHS students were the most challenged in school because they would be ready for

college. The researcher also wants to conduct this study to highlight the importance and benefits

of sleeping to students. This study will also look at the consequences and main causes of sleep

deprivation in students. This study will be useful, interesting, and relevant for students and future

researchers.

METHODOLOGY

This chapter contains the research methods that will be used. Methodologies include

research design, sample and participant selection, instrumentation, data collection procedures,

and data analysis.

Research Design

. The researcher will use quantitative research because it is relevant to the study. Aside

from that, this method will assist in determining whether or not there is a significant relationship

between the two variables of the study. Quantitative research collects numerical data, statistical

measures, and predicts the research's outcome. This will be required to present the study's

objective, which is the effect of sleep deprivation on SHS students' and into their academic

performance.

Sampling

The participants of the study will be SHS students of ACLC College of Ormoc. The

participants were chosen because they are candidates in completion. So, they are most likely to

do a lot of activities just to obtain grades that will be acceptable in college universities. But since

the chosen respondents are not allowed to go outside, the researcher will conduct survey

6
questionnaires to 500+ students. The use of Google Forms will be distributed to collect

information from selected students. The questionnaire was used by the researcher to collect the

necessary information or data from the chosen respondents. To collect data, the researcher will

distribute survey questions to SHS students through the use of Google Forms. To ensure that the

survey runs smoothly, the researcher will be available for questions and clarifications. As a

result, obtaining the required data will be quick and simple.

Research Respondents

The respondents of the study are selected SHS Students, the study requires 500+

respondents. The researchers carried out the questionnaire on social media and look for

respondents to sight the statistics for the study. We have a total of __ respondent.

Research Environment

The researchers conducted this research through social media to follow the health

protocols due to covid-19 pandemic. The researchers personally gave the questionnaire to the

subjects/ respondents through social media due to pandemic. The people in social media were

approached to participate and cooperate in the research. They were assured that their

participation or non-participation to the study would not affect their care.
