 CHAPTER 1: THE PROBLEM

Introduction

Sleep deprivation can have a significant impact on academic performance, affecting both
cognitive abilities and overall well-being. When individuals do not get enough sleep,
their ability to concentrate, focus, and retain information is compromised. This can lead
to difficulties in understanding and processing new material, resulting in decreased
academic performance

.Lack of sleep also impairs memory consolidation, which is essential for retaining and
recalling information learned during the day. Without sufficient sleep, students may
struggle to remember important concepts or details, making it harder to perform well on
exams or assignments.

Additionally, sleep deprivation can negatively affect mood and emotional regulation. It
can lead to increased irritability, mood swings, and difficulty managing stress. These
emotional disturbances can further impact academic performance by reducing motivation,
engagement, and overall mental well-being.

Furthermore, sleep deprivation can impair decision-making skills and problem-solving

abilities. It can hinder critical thinking and creativity, making it challenging for students
to approach complex tasks or projects effectively.

Research consistently shows a strong correlation between sleep deprivation and lower
academic achievement. Students who consistently lack adequate sleep are more likely to
experience difficulties in their studies, lower grades, and decreased overall academic
performance.

To mitigate the negative effects of sleep deprivation on academic performance, it is

crucial for students to prioritize and establish healthy sleep habits. This includes
maintaining a consistent sleep schedule, creating a sleep-friendly environment, and
practicing good sleep hygiene. By ensuring sufficient and quality sleep, students can
optimize their cognitive abilities, enhance memory consolidation, and improve their
overall academic performance.

Scope, Delimitation, and Limitation of the Study

 This study is entitled "The Effects of Sleep Deprivation in the Academic of

Selected Senior High School Student at Padre Garcia Integrated National High School".

It focuses on the relationship between sleep deprivation and the academic of the students.

The researchers will identify and evaluate the different effects of sleep deprivation on

senior high students of PGINHS, who will be the participants in this study. Hence, the

researchers will propose a possible output to avoid sleep deprivation.

This study is limited to only randomly selected students in grade 12 levels.

Researchers will be able to collect ideas and thoughts necessary to the present study from

participants' responses to open-ended questions, thus providing considerably deeper,

more detailed, and frequently subjective information. This study is limited to the personal

views of the researcher on the respondent’s answer, which is valid to avoid being bias in

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

In this chapter the researchers will review all the related literature about their

study. Conceptual literature, related literature and conceptual framework will be included

in this chapter.

Related Literature

When insufficient sleep results in diminished performance, insufficient

attentiveness, and a decline in health, this is known as sleep deprivation. Although there

are a few possibilities, including information processing, energy conservation, and

restoration, the exact reason why humans require sleep is still unknown. Lack of sleep

has numerous harmful repercussions on one's health. Due to medical blunders caused by

lack of sleep, residency programs have implemented rigorous work limitations.

Implementing a hospitalize program increases patient safety, lowers the risk of

malpractice, and improves the physician's quality of life by enabling obstetricians to get

enough rest because obstetrics is an uncertain specialty with lengthy irregular hours.

Sleep deprivation increases rates of forgetting in episodic memory. Yet, whether an

extended lack of sleep alters the qualitative nature of forgetting is unknown. We

compared forgetting of episodic memories across intervals of overnight sleep, daytime

wakefulness, and overnight sleep deprivation. Item-level forgetting was amplified across

daytime wakefulness and overnight sleep deprivation, as compared to sleep. Importantly,

however, overnight sleep deprivation led to a further deficit in associative memory that
was not observed after daytime wakefulness. These findings suggest that sleep

deprivation induces fragmentation among item memories and their associations, altering

the qualitative nature of episodic forgetting. Cognitive skills, executive functioning, and

meta-cognitive monitoring support performance on a variety of decision-making tasks.

These elements are compromised by fatigue-inducing circumstances, such as sleep

deprivation, which lowers decision-making ability. We investigated these variables and

the associated decision-making performance using a 40-hour sleep deprivation regimen.

Tests on psychometric alertness, inhibitory control, task switching, working memory,

short-term memory, fluid intelligence, and decision correctness and confidence in a

medical diagnosis-making test were administered at various intervals to thirteen, who

were between the ages of 20 and 30. Participants were kept awake for the duration of the

two days that the assessment was conducted, which included morning and nighttime

sessions. According to earlier research, cognitive function suffered following a sleepless

night. Adding to earlier findings, the immediate post-event reductions in self-regulation

and self-monitoring were much larger

According to (Nat Sci Sleep et al., 2014). College students are particularly likely

to have daytime sleepiness, sleep deprivation, and irregular sleep cycles; half of them

report experiencing daily sleepiness, and seventy percent report getting little sleep.

College students are particularly vulnerable to the negative effects of sleep deprivation

and daytime sleepiness, which can include decreased grade point averages, a higher

chance of failing an academic course, problems with learning, mood disorders, and an

increased risk of car accidents. This article examines the prevalence of tiredness and

sleep deprivation among college students nowadays, as well as the causes of sleep
deprivation and how important sleep is for memory and learning. We'll look at how sleep

and sleep disorders affect driving, emotions, grade point average, and academic

performance. Most importantly, sleep education programs offered online can be a

practical and efficient way to reduce tiredness and sleep deprivation. Reduced sleep

duration is becoming more common in modern society, with nocturnal sleeping times

falling short of the recommended limits for health. Studies conducted in laboratories and

epidemiologies have shown that sleep deprivation has negative consequences on health.

Sleep strengthens the immune system and helps the body fight off infections and

inflammatory assaults. Lack of sleep has been linked to changes in the innate and

adaptive immune systems, which can result in a persistent inflammatory state and a

higher risk of infectious and inflammatory pathologies, such as autoimmune,

neurodegenerative, neoplastic, and cardio-metabolic disorders. Here, we summarize new

findings on the pathophysiology, the immunological responses to sleep deprivation as

demonstrated by experimental and epidemiological research, and the contribution of

these immune changes to the increased risk of chronic diseases. There are still

methodological flaws and information gaps. A survey on sleep schedule, sleep health,

school performance and school start times was conducted in 1,941 adolescents. A high

level of early and circadian-disadvantaged sleep/wake schedules during weekdays was

observed. Shorter sleep duration on weekdays was reported, especially in upper class-

men. Complaints of inadequate sleep and sleepiness during weekdays, alarm clock use,

and napping were prevalent. Night awakening and prolonged sleep onset were common

and associated with poor school performance. Students with a sleep length of less than 7

hours on both weekdays and weekends exhibited poorer performance, while those who
made up this sleep loss on weekends did not. The total number of poor sleep factors in an

individual also correlated with poor school performance. Earlier school start times were

associated with a perception of poor sleep quality, shorter sleep duration and more sleep

health problems. We conclude that sleep inadequacies and sleep health problems were

prevalent in this population, especially in those who started school earlier in the morning,

and that these poor sleep factors were associated with school performance. A typical

adolescent needs nine hours of sleep per night in addition to having a delayed circadian

rhythm.7,9 However, adolescents find it challenging to meet this need because they sleep

an average of less than eight hours on school nights.57 Studies on the effects of sleep

deprivation on academic performance have been conducted in response to concerns about

the effects of sleep deprivation. Teenagers' academic performance, behavior, and social

competence were found to be adversely affected by poor sleep quality, shorter sleep

durations overall, and excessive daytime sleepiness.1,5,7 It is unknown, though, if having

several unfavorable sleep issues is more likely to be linked to subpar academic

achievement. Furthermore, it's not quite apparent if early start hours for schools cause

students to get less sleep.

Sleep deprivation is common amongst university students whom live in a culture

that promotes reduced sleep, due to the burden of academic work and social pursuits. The

reasons for poor sleep hygiene include alcohol and caffeine intake, stimulants, and

technology, which prevent students achieving sufficient sleep time and quality

Conceptual Literature
 Sleep-deprived students often experience reduced cognitive functioning. This

includes difficulties with memory, attention, problem-solving, and decision-making,

which can impede their ability to learn and perform well in class. Poor sleep can lead to

lower academic achievement. Students may struggle to concentrate, complete

assignments, and perform on exams, ultimately affecting their grades and overall

educational success. Sleep is essential for consolidating new information and forming

memories. Sleep-deprived students may find it challenging to retain what they've learned,

making it harder Sleep deprivation is commonplace in modern society, but its far-

reaching effects on cognitive performance are only beginning to be understood from a

scientific perspective. While there is broad consensus that insufficient sleep leads to a

general slowing of response speed and increased variability in performance, particularly

for simple measures of alertness, attention and vigilance, there is much less agreement

about the effects of sleep deprivation on many higher level cognitive capacities, including

perception, memory and executive functions to excel in their studies. Sleep deprivation is

linked to mood disorders such as anxiety and depression. Students may experience

increased stress and emotional instability, which can further hinder their academic and

social life. Lack of sleep can lead to risky behaviors, including substance abuse, reckless

decision-making, and impaired judgment, which can negatively impact students' well-

being. Sleep deprivation weakens the immune system, making students more susceptible

to illnesses. Frequent illnesses can lead to missed classes and reduced academic

performance. Sleep deprivation can disrupt hormones that regulate appetite, leading to

increased cravings for unhealthy foods and weight gain. This can affect students' overall

health and self-esteem. Students who are sleep-deprived may lack the motivation to
engage actively in their studies and extracurricular activities, leading to a decline in their

overall educational experience. Sleep deprivation can affect a student's ability to

socialize, leading to irritability, mood swings, and strained relationships with peers and

family members. Sleep-deprived students are more prone to accidents, both on and off

campus. This includes accidents while driving, using machinery, or participating in

sports. Chronic sleep deprivation during one's student years can set the stage for long-

term health The literature on the effect of sleep deprivation on working memory is

reviewed. Sleep deprivation causes broad behavioral deficits in working memory

performance. Reduced performance is associated with reductions in neural activation.

Performance may be maintained through neural compensatory responses. Individual

differences, compensatory responses, and remediation are also reviewed. Sleep

deprivation is increasingly common and poses serious problems for optimal cognitive

functioning. Here we review the empirical literature problems, such as cardiovascular

issues, diabetes, and other chronic diseases. Students often experience excessive daytime

sleepiness due to inadequate nighttime sleep, making it difficult to stay awake during

lectures and remain alert throughout the day. Sleep plays a role in fostering creativity and

problem-solving. Sleep-deprived students may struggle to think indicatively and find

unique solutions to academic challenges. Poor sleep habits can disrupt a student's ability

to manage their time effectively, leading to procrastination and a lack of productivity.

Accumulated sleep debt can make it challenging for students to catch up on rest

during weekends or breaks. The consequences of chronic sleep deprivation can persist

over time. Cognitive Impairment: Sleep-deprived students often experience reduced cognitive
