 INTRODUCTION OF THE RESEARCH

"Screen time" is a term used for activities done in front of a screen, such

as watching TV, working on a computer, or playing video games using

smartphone. Screen time is sedentary activity, meaning you are being

physically inactive while sitting down. More often of the students are spend

most of their time using technology without even realizing the effects of this

issue.

Nowadays by the enhancement of technology, from mobile phone as a

simple gadget with physical keyboard innovated to smartphones which can

access to internet with virtual keyboard as one of the communication tools that

every human being used.

Based on the International Journal of Research and Review (2019),

there are specific health effects of using a smartphone for a long duration, such

as headaches, decreased attention, shortness of temper, depression, and

sleep disorders. In adolescent, sleep problem is very substantial. The

prevalence of insomnia in adolescents is as high as 20-30%, and

approximately 16% of high school students suffer from excessive daytime

sleepiness. It may cause by smartphone usage for long periods.

According to the article of Manila Times (2015) students who spend

several hours each day staring into mobile phones or smartphones tend to

change their sleeping habits and stay up late to use the devices, education

ministry research published last week showed. It showed, for instance, that

53.5 percent of junior high students who said they use a mobile phone for more
than four hours a day to talk, send email or surf the Net, habitually do not get to

sleep until after midnight. That ratio was much lower, at 14.9 percent, for those

who don’t use mobile phones at all.

These day students are more focus on the online classes, also they are

always with their gadgets to not get bored while we are in the current pandemic

situation. A new study finds that students spend more than 16 -30 minutes a

day looking at screens. The students who spend more time staring at screen

perform worse on memory, language and thinking test than do those who

spend less time in front of a device. Screen time before bed can make harder

to sleep. (The National Sleep Foundation's 2014).

The human sleep-wake cycle follows a circadian rhythm that most likely

takes it is cues from sunlight. When it is bright outside, we become more alert.

When it becomes dark, the body produces a hormone called melanin that

induces sleepiness. The all-embracing use of portable electronic devices and

the normalization of screen media devices in the bedroom are go along with by

a high ubiquity of insufficient sleep. Smartphones and other electronic device

give off short wavelength blue light that is very similar to sunlight. Not only does

this light make us more alert, also deceives the body into thinking it still

daytime. In response, the body, manufacture melatonin, interfering with body's

natural sleep-wake cycle. The longer you spend on your screen, the greater the

consequence for you sleep.

CDC analyzed data from the 2015 national and state Youth Risk

Behavior Surveys.5 Students were asked how much sleep they usually got on
school nights. Students who were 6 to 12 years old and who reported sleeping

less than 9 hours were considered to not get enough sleep. Teenagers aged 13

to 18 years who reported sleeping less than 8 hours also were considered to

not get enough sleep.

According to the article of Plos One by Jing-wen Hue, Zhi-hao Tu, Lei

Xao, Tong Su, Yun-xiang Tang Restricting mobile phone use before bedtime

for four weeks was effective in reducing sleep latency, increasing sleep

duration, improving sleep quality, reducing pre-sleep arousal, and improving

positive affect and working memory.

Background of the Study

It has been recognized that many students spend more time by using

smartphone that result in having irregular sleeping habits which can affect to

their academic performances. According to Northwestern Medicine

Smartphones and other electronic devices all emit bright blue light so you can

see them even when it’s sunny. The problem is that blue light could be keeping

you up at night by suppressing your brain’s production of melatonin, a hormone

that helps with sleep timing and circadian rhythms.

The article of DTI found that Smartphone addiction may lead to less and

poorer sleep. Several studies show that the use of mobile phones is associated

with insufficient sleep duration. Poor sleep quality and insufficient sleep

duration and sleep deprivation are internationally recognized crucial health

concerns. In teenagers, sleep is regarded as, especially, significant, as poor or

insufficient sleep may cause poor academic performance or negatively affect

growth and development. Poor sleep functioning is related with daytime

dysfunction. It has also implicated in a series of poor health behavior. It also

leads to poor academic performance.

This research implements to know the effects of using smartphone to their

sleeping habits and what would be the recommendation to stop this irregular

sleeping habits.

LITERATURE REVIEW

Sleep Quality

Sleep quality is an essential need of humans especially the young and

the elderly. A good night or good sleep is a great determinant memory,

attentiveness, and responsiveness, which are important in everyday activities.

Lack of sleep affects the homeostasis of the biological functions in the human

being. Studies conducted by provide evidence that poor sleep quality is a risk

factor for mortality. Sleep is indisputably essential for human health.

Inadequate sleep and poor-quality sleep are persistent during adolescence and

link to impairments in cognitive control and increased risk taking. Canadian

Journal of Applied Science and Technology (2018) Sleep problems can

occur at any age. Inadequate sleep affects the physiological as well as

psychological well-being of an individual. Journal of Caring Science (2017)

Effects of Using Smartphone

In the article of Frontiers in Psychiatry (2020) they said that in recent

years, because of the rapid development of communications and information

technologies, smartphone use has been very popular in young people,

`particularly university students. While smartphone use has made our lives

more convenient, it also has negative effects on the health of users. For

example, in the international literature, sleep problems in university students

and adolescents have been significantly associated with mobile phone

addiction (MPA) and various measures of problematic smartphone use,

including long duration of smartphone usage, late-night smartphone use,

bedtime smartphone use, and excessive use of a smartphone. In addition,

there is evidence that smartphone overuse impairs cognition via its negative

influences on mood and sleep.

Insufficient sleep and insomnia are associated with multiple medical and

mental health problems, including increased risk for psychiatric disorders,

suicide, and chronic health conditions such as obesity, diabetes, cardiovascular

disease, and chronic pain. In AI/AN populations, cardiovascular disease is

among the leading causes of death, with experiences of social injustice and

discrimination contributing to significant health disparities. Journal of

Environmental and Public Health (2019)

Effect of Using Smartphone in Academic Performance

According to (Jerald Cano-og Moneva, February 2018). Smartphone

does not necessarily increase student academic performance in school.

Excessive use of mobile phones causes students to fare poorly in elementary,

junior high and high school, not only because it makes them lose their

concentration due to a lack of sleep, but also because it apparently

compromises what they have studied, researchers say. Students who spend

several hours each day staring into mobile phones or smartphones tend to

change their sleeping habits and stay up late to use the devices, education

ministry research published last week showed. The Manila Times (2015)

There was a significant negative relationship between number of hours

of night sleep and classroom behavior. This suggested that the smaller number

of hours of night sleep is correlated to high occurrence of sleepiness in class

and negative classroom behavior. (Paul Junrey Arintoc Toyong, January

2020) Those students who used the media wisely, their academic performance

improved. However, those who failed to regulate their use of these social

networking tools negatively affected their studies which oftentimes led to their

addicted use. (Remedios C. Kulidtod, 2017)

 RELEVANCE OF THE LITERATURE AND STUDIES TO THE PRESENT

STUDY

The related literature and studies were discussed by the researchers to

pursue and tackle this phenomenon.

This paper discusses the effects or consequences of using smartphone

most of the time, especially in bedtime.

within our country. While the foreign literature and studies discussed about

issues and articles in other country. These studies and literature have

significant part to this study for it becomes a basis where the researchers can

get information for their selected topic.

In overall, the gathered literatures and studies give necessary in function

for the researcher’s topic which is the Effect of Using Smartphone on the

Sleeping Habits of Grade 11 students.

Research Question

2. What are the effects of Using Smartphones on the Sleeping Habits of Grade

11 Students?

SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS

The study was focused on The Effects of Using Smartphones on the Sleeping

Habits of Grade 11 students. The students will be the respondents of this study

and their parents will also be involved as they know their habits before sleeping

on school nights, were in the night during school days.

The scope of the study will only be limited to 30 (48%) percent Grade 11

Senior High School students who are currently enrolled at Imelda Operio’s

Learning School, Inc. S.Y. 2020-2021. The respondents will be asked to

accomplish a set of questions to be used in analyzing the data. The researcher

formulated the scope and limitations of this research to identify the boundaries

of this study.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This part presents the research design, sampling techniques, research

instruments, data collection, ethical issues, and plan for data analysis that the

researchers used in collecting data to finish this study.

RESEARCH DESIGN

This study used descriptive and statistical method to describe and to

compute the population accurately and systematically.

SAMPLING TECHNIQUES

The participants of this research were Grade 11 students with a total of

63 officially enrolled students in Imelda Operio’s Learning School.

In this study, the Stratified Random Sampling was utilized which means

a method of sampling that involves the division of a population into smaller sub-

groups known as strata and randomly choose final embers from the various

strata for research which diminish total and improve efficacy. Every members of

these groups will be distinguished so that each member of all groups gets the

same chance to be selected using simple probability. The researchers will

randomly select from 63 officially enrolled students in Grade 11 Senior High

School Students of Imelda Operio’s Learning School, Inc. S.Y. 2020-2021.

There are 3 strands in this grade in which 6 or 46% of 13 ABM students, 8 or

47% of 17 STEM students and 16 or 48% of 33 HUMSS students. This will be

used in the study so that the number of the students will be diminish. Each

strand has an equal probability of inclusion in the sample.

RESEARCH INSTRUMENTS
The research instrument used in the study was survey questionnaire

develop in the Google Forms. The data requested in the first part are the

respondent’s profile such as name, age, sex, strand. In the second part,

Question 1 until Question 3 the data requested are the respondent’s sleeping

habits. While in the Question 4 and 5 the information requested are how long

the respondent’s used smartphone during school days in their bedtime. In

Question 6 until Question 8 the data requested were the effects of smartphone

in their sleeping habits and in the Question 9 it asked there if the respondents

were struggling in their sleep, they would fill up the table. Lastly, in the

Question 10 and 11 it asked there if the respondent’s missed their class due to

feeling sleepy. These questions were to distinguish the effect of using

smartphone in their sleeping habits.

DATA COLLECTION

This study employed a questionnaire which was validated by the

experts. The first part is the profile of the respondents which includes name,

sex, and strand of the respondents.

The second part of the questionnaire includes the questions that may

lead to the effects of using smartphone on the sleeping habits of Grade 11

Students.

IMPLICATION

The effect of excessive use of smartphone has a huge impact to the

sleeping habits of the students. This study extended the information, better

understand students’ attributes, how they usually spend most of their time in

front of their smartphone, how long they use it and others that's make struggle
them to sleep. Students spent most of their time using smartphone are

unproductive and compromises their concentration due to lack of sleep.

We have investigated the possible reasons that affect the sleeping habits of the

students. We share this outcome study, that there a bad effect of excessive use

of smartphone. What are the possible consequences of this? Sharing this

information gives the students’ knowledge on how to avoid the effect and how

to overcome and use smartphones properly without spending much time.

Knowing this, minimize and students use smartphone excessively and result in

quality sleep, then use their time in significant things.

CONCLUSION

In this study, we conclude that students spend their time using their

smartphone by playing music and surfing on the internet, causing them not to

fall asleep easily until midnight. They spent their night by excessive use of their

smartphone that may lead to them to miss their school or class in this past few
week. We also conclude that besides of excessive using of smartphone,

another reason why they are sleepless at night was not completing their

homework. Somehow, most of the students go to bed between 11PM to

Midnight which affects their alertness and energy in the day.

Recommendation

Using Smartphone really gives effect on the sleeping habits of Grade 11

students especially when they used it for a long time. So, we suggest that limit

themselves to use smartphones, they should have a self-discipline and time

management on using smartphone, we all know that smartphone plays a big

role to the students because of the change in education system but students

should know how to manage their time in using smartphone. Also, we suggest

not to use your phone if you cannot sleep. It is somehow good for your health if

you rest without any disturbance when you cannot sleep, always make sure to

make time for your minds to rest.

We also recommend the Qustodio App, the best parental control

software. It can monitor and track the person’s online activity and it can detect

how long time you are using your smartphone which is suitable for parents so

through this they would know how long their children spent their time using their

smartphones and they could set activities to limit their children using
smartphone by using this app. This app also blocked dangerous sites and

protect kids from online bullying.

This Qustodio Parental Control App is the app should

parents install to their smartphone to track how long their children

used smartphone and to detect all the activities that their children

do with their smartphone.

This Kids App Qustodio is the app need the parents

install to their children’s smartphone because if they do not install

it to their children’s smartphone even, they have the parental app

they could not track their children’s smartphone.

These are the activities would you track once you installed the Qustodio

App in your smartphone:

While these are your children will see in their Kids Qustodio App:

Dissemination and Advocacy Plans

This group of researchers are composed of student's from IOLS, adviser

and the administration study focus addressing the effect of Using smartphone

to the students on their sleeping habits. In our research, members of the school

faculty provided their time and talent to intimate via conducting survey to
perceive how and what the tremendous outcome of excessive use of

Smartphones.

The advocacy of this research is to be viewed as an informative basis for

the students to distinguish what would be some effect of smartphone on their

sleeping habits.

We want the public to know the effects of spending too much time using

smartphone and what are the advantages and disadvantages of doing it. We

are going to use the internet and the other social media platform to spread the

message and share the importance of it. We are going to develop a strategy to

convince and persuade the people why they need to know and listen. Knowing

this kind of information will help you understand a particular outcome.
