INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

A High School life must be the most fun in every student’s experiences. At

this point, a person already starts to develop from their childish act to early

adolescence. They become very sensitive, delicate from any desire and being

independent. But the opposite of that is there are still a lot of people along them

were expecting that they will do better especially in Academics more than they do

when they were younger.

Sleep is a state on which they body and mind of a person is relatively

inactive and it’s muscle are relaxed. In Human Body, sleep aids with all the

cognitive function such as; memory, learning, decision making and critical

thinking. This makes sleep a necessary thing on Academic performance. Being

able to understand the impact of sleep deprivation on academic performance will

aid in comprehending the importance of sleep especially for students to maintain

a quality academic performance.

Sleep is a basic necessity of everyday life, and we all knew that a person

should have sleep for at least seven (7) to nine (9) hours a day. Mainly the

reason why the person is lacking of sleep it’s because of their jobs,
responsibilities, obligations, and etc. It depend of the nature if their function in the

society.

Sleep is very essential to one's life but yet underestimated by everybody.

Hours of functioning or working of every individual is constantly increasing but

the sleep or even the rest of a person is badly decreasing which results to sleep

deprived. And sadly people are tending to stretch out to what their capabilities or

capacities are and compromise their sleep. Which is very wrong. Sleep is

shouldn't be forgotten for it is one of the source of our energy.

We should always be reminded that Sleep Deprivation isn't just anything,

indeed it is something. Something that you should give importance for it may

harm you in many ways. It may affect your physical and mental health as well.

And with no sleep, your body will not also gain energy. Energy that lets your body

and mind function well.

According to Leonidas (2014), a medical news report from America stated

that school stress keeps 68 percent of students awake after their head hits the

pillow. Only 30 percent of students sleep eight hours a night, the average

recommended amount of sleep for young adults. In the Philippines, Arceo-

Dumlao (2014) half of the Filipinos sleep less than six hours a day. Poor quality

of sleep has significant impacts or effects on day time behavior and academic

performance, as well as concentration, attention, and mood.

 In this study the researcher’s objective is to find out the effects of sleep

deprivation on the academic performance of the students and if such effects are

significant. One must also be able to discover the reasons why they are having

the said problem and be able to find a specific solution of the problem.
