learners pursuing the Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) track, sleep quality is
of particular importance due to the unique demands and stressors associated with their
academic journey. This introduction sets the stage for an exploration of the intricate
relationship between sleep quality and student stress levels, and how these factors

sessions, extracurricular activities, and the ever-present allure of digital screens can
disrupt sleep schedules and result in inadequate or poor-quality sleep. Such sleep
disturbances can lead to fatigue, decreased cognitive function, and heightened stress
levels.

to mend and rejuvenate both the brain and body (Dokie, n.d.). This theory has been

brain development, repair, and cognitive function. Slow Wave Sleep (SWS) also plays
a crucial role in the body's growth and repair, as it facilitates protein synthesis through
"optional sleep." Core sleep encompasses both Rapid Eye Movement (REM) and
Slow Wave Sleep (SWS), and, according to Horne, brain repair primarily occurs
during core sleep, while body restoration is linked to optional sleep and can also take
place at other times (Dokie, n.d.). It's important to note that Oswald believes that both

that sleep is linked to changes in the brain's organization and structure. This theory
suggests that the brain remains active during sleep, reviewing and organizing the day's
