Table 1.1 shows the distribution of the respondents according to their age.

The respondents within the age bracket of forty-three to forty-eight (43-48) got
the highest percentage taking (26%) of the subjects population followed by those whose
age fifty-five to sixty (55-60) with eighteen percentage (18%) and those whose ages are
forty- nine to fifty-four (49-54) with twelve percentage (12%)

Those with ages ranging from nineteen to twenty four (19-24) and twenty- five to
thirty (25-30) got the least number of respondents having four (4) and three (3) that is
equivalent to only four percentage and percent of (30%). This is in lined with the study of
Academia Students, according to them older drivers are considered to be more delicate in
driving and follow the rules more often to than their younger counterparts linking their
skills to experience and maturity.

Table 2.0 shows the Sleep Deprivation of the Respondents

Like what the table above shows. It can be seen that majority of the subjects have
a low Sleep Deprivation, meaning they don't have enough sleep every night before work.
Moreover the least items have shown that the subjects scored a high in these items which
means they tend to have lack of sleep due to their work. This is in line with deemed by
Stojan in Main Effects of Sleep Disorders Related to Shift work Opportunities for
Preventive Programs (2011) have said that sleep-related problems of shift workers
usually occur as transient phenomena related to the timing of work. Sleep deprivation,
have a major impact on the quality of life and health status of health care workers.
Reduced quantity and quality of sleep negatively affects the activities of shift workers,
quality of life and health.

Table 3.0 Level of Irritability of the Respondents

As shown in the table most of the respondents are majority low of irritabilty.The
respondents feel changes in their moods when they are sleep deprived.Have shown that
the subjects scored a high in those items tend they are irritate when they are lack of sleep
and also change their behavior .The related literature stated by Alhola, P.,& Polo-
Kantola, P (2007)coping with sleep deprivation is not easy to recovering from it.We also
need more effort and action to manage that.

In terms of significant relationship between the sleep deprivation of the

respondents when grouped according demographic profile (age, sex, civil status and
length of work experience) that r-values are less than to the critical value that is equal
0.226 so that the decision result is Accepted HO. It means that the demographic profile
has no relationship between the levels of sleep deprivation of tricycle drivers in Quezon
city.

respondents When Grouped According to Demographic Profile which is (Age, Sex, Civil
Status and Length of work experience) the r-values are less than to the critical value that
is equal to 0.226 so that the decision result is Accepted Ho. It means that the
demographic profile has no significant relationship between sleep deprivation and
irritability level of tricycle drivers in Quezon City. According to University Of
California, San Francisco (2001) men and women perceive anger differently they
experience and handle feelings of frustration and rage in different ways. On the surface,
men seem to embrace their anger and use it to their advantage whereas women view
anger as being counter-productive. But in day to day interactions, women appear to take
advantage of their anger just as frequently as men.

the Respondents

Like what the table above presents. The R-value which is 0.354651081 is greater
than the critical value 0.226 that means the decision is Reject Ho. To summarize it all,
there is a significant relationship between sleep deprivation and irritability level of
tricycle drivers in Quezon city. This is inline with the statement of Samkoff and Jacques
(2010), having a sleep deprivation and fatigue can change the mood and the attitude of a
person towards to their performance but it can stop by following the right hours that a
person have in a whole day.
 CHAPTER V
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
Conclusion
1. The respondents with the age bracket of 43-48 have the most frequency among all
the brackets while the range of 16-24 have the least frequency. Also, there is
unequal distribution of male and female respondents with 98 males and 2 males,
equivalent to 100 respondents. Thus, the researchers concluded that the majority of
tricycle drivers are male. The researchers noticed that mostly of tricycle drivers in
Quezon City had been working for almost 5-20 years above and started at young age.

2. In this study, the researchers observed that the respondent who’s lack of sleep are
more vulnerable in experiencing irritabilities, stress and being short tempered. The
study shown that sleep deprivation has significant effect on the respondent irritability
level.

3. The researchers also confirm that sleep deprivation affects the whole performance
of the workers that will show decline in split-second decision making following poor
sleep. Lack of sleep increased the possibility of low energy and poor focus on things.

4. It was examined that the age of the subject doesn't have something to do with the
respondents’ irritability level. This means that age cannot be one factor in how the
tricycle drivers based on their irritability level.

5. The researchers concluded also that the profile of the respondents, such as their
age, gender, civil status and work experience have no bearing in their irritability.
Hence, the irritability that they have is not predicted or related to their demographic
characteristic.
Recommendation

Based on the findings and conclusion in the study, the following recommendations are
suggested:

1. Drivers especially who are ages 19- 60 years old must be aware and
knowledgeable with regards to lack of sleep because Sleep Deprivation can trigger
the irritability level of a person. For them to learn how to cope up their emotion.

2. The Researcher may recommend to all Tricycle Operator and Drivers Association
(TODA) to provide an entertainment for the drivers to ease their stress while waiting
to the commuters. They can install a television or a radio at the terminal.

3. The researcher recommend to the local operator to conduct a seminar for the
mental health of the Tricycle Drivers to prevent irritability and grumpy, to control
their mood to secure their emotional aspect.

4. Driver should have a quality time with their family and friends to relieve the stress
from their work go to the place that make you happy and do the activities that make
your family happy.

5. The researchers recommend for the local government of Quezon City to have a
free check-up once a year for the tricycle drivers in order to observe and maintain
their physical and mental health.
