between Sleep Pattern and Academic Performance of Grade 11 Students, Cavite National High
School – Senior High School, Philippines
Keywords: Sleep Pattern, Academic Performance, Chronotype
ABSTRACT
Sleep plays a vital role in good health and well-being throughout your life. According to
Kirschstein (2018) Getting enough quality sleep at the right times can help protect your mental
health, physical health, quality of life, and safety. The way you feel while you're awake depends in
part on what happens while you're sleeping. During sleep, your body is working to support healthy
The goal of the study was to determine the relationship between sleep patterns and academic
performance of Grade 11 students of Cavite National High School – Senior High School. It was
conducted to know if the sleeping pattern can greatly affect the students' performance in school.
The sleep pattern was found to be significant to academic performance based on the found result.

CHAPTER I
Introduction
Sleep is a naturally recurring state of mind and body, characterized by altered consciousness. It is
one of the most important things needed by the body. Rest serves to reenergize the body’s cells, clear
squander from the brain and bolster learning and memory (Scientific American Mind, 2018).
According to Wilson (2016), individuals who can get by on four hours of rest in some cases brag
around their quality and perseverance. But later logical think about to appear that a need of rest causes
numerous critical changes within the body and increments your chance for genuine well-being
concerns such as corpulence, malady, and indeed early death. The researchers conclude that stress
about the deadlines of works, environment, and medical conditions can affect the sleep pattern of a
person.
Jordan, P. (2019) stated that there are different types of sleeping patterns, each with different
advantages and disadvantages. Monophasic sleep is essentially what most people would call a normal
sleeping pattern. A person sleeps for around 7-8 hours per night. It is the most common sleeping
pattern and the one most societies have adopted, but some people can sleep for only 5-6 hours and still
According to Sleep Habit (2019), there are four different stages of sleep and two different types of
sleep. These two types of sleep are the Non-Rapid Eye Movement or NREM and Rapid Eye
Movement or REM. NREM has three (3) stages that progressively take you from the lightest stage of
sleep to the very deepest stage of sleep. REM has just the one stage, the stage of NREM, starting from
the moment you slowly drift off to sleep. Your brain begins preparing you for the deep sleep ahead.
Your muscles relax and your breathing becomes slow and steady.

Park, A. (2009) stated that it is no surprise that poor sleep habits may negatively impact academic
performance anyone who has been exhausted enough to doze off during class knows that is
detrimental to learning. Various of studies have linked an increase in nightly sleep to better cognition
and alertness. The new research, however, goes a step further, quantifying the impact of erratic or
According to Breus, M. (2018), some people may still feel tired after a full night of sleep. It is
because of the chronotypes, some people are active in the morning and some person is much active at
night. There are four Chronotypes (Dolphin, Lion, Bear, and Wolf), and most people fit into the
―Bear‖ category.
Breus, M.(2018) stated that dolphins are light sleepers, often diagnosed with insomnia. Bear on the
other hand, where most people fall into the bear chronotype category. Bears’ sleep-wake patterns
follow the sun, and they have no difficulty sleeping. Bears are most ready for intense tasks smack in
the middle of the morning, and they feel a dip in the mid-afternoon. Lions wake up early. These are
the go-getters, the leaders, the type-A movers, and shakers. They might not reach for a cup of coffee
until a little before lunch, and their most productive hours have already passed by that time. Because
of their action-packed mornings, they tend to fizzle out in the evening and turn in early. Lastly, the
wolf is on the nocturnal end of the spectrum. They get a later start to their day and ride the

Sleeping Pattern
Jordan, P. (2019) stated that there are different types of sleeping patterns, each with different
advantages and disadvantages. Monophasic sleep is essentially what most people would call a normal
sleeping pattern. A person sleeps for around 7-8 hours per night. It’s the most common sleeping
pattern and the one most societies have adopted, but some people can sleep for only 5-6 hours and still
feel energized and fine. Nothing is abnormal here. Biphasic sleep is here a person sleeps twice per day.
Most commonly, it consists of a long sleep during the night with a shorter rest during the day.
Polyphasic sleep pattern consists of multiple periods of sleep per day, generally ranging from 4 to 6
periods of sleep per day. There are many different combinations of polyphasic sleep patterns, but the
According to Natural Sleep Foundation (2019), all of the biological creatures have an internal
circadian biological clock that regulates the timings of sleepiness and the state of being awake of a
person. The circadian rhythm dips and rises at different times of the day, so adults' strongest sleep
drive generally occurs between 2:00-4:00 am and in the afternoon between 1:00-3:00 pm, although
there is some variation depending on whether you are a ―morning person‖ or ―evening person.‖
Changes to this circadian rhythm occur during adolescence when most teens experience a sleep phase
delay. This shift in teens' circadian rhythm causes them to naturally feel alert later at night, making it
difficult for them to fall asleep before 11:00 pm. Since most teens have early school start times along
with other commitments, this sleep phase delay can make it difficult to get the sleep teens to need an
average of 9 1/4 hours, but at least 8 hours. This sleep deprivation can influence the circadian rhythm;
for teens, the strongest circadian ―dips‖ tend to occur between 3:00-7:00 am and 2:00-5:00 pm, but the
morning dip (3:00-7:00 am) can be even longer if teens haven’t had enough sleep, and can even last
According to Segaren (2018), most students probably know that depriving themselves of sleep is
bad, but nonetheless, they’re willing to sacrifice sleep and as a consequence, health, telling themselves
it is just for a short time and they can soon start sleeping 12-hours a day once the semester draws to a
close.
But research shows that sleep is extremely important, not just during finals week but throughout the
entire semester. College students are known for slapdash sleeping habits, but these patterns could be
detrimentally impacting your performance, and it’s time to nip them in the bud.
Academic Performance
Student performance is measured using grade point average (GPA), high school graduation rate,
annual standardized tests, and college entrance exams. A student's GPA is typically measured on a
scale of zero to four with higher GPAs representing higher grades in the classroom. Graduation rates
are collected by state and federal education officials as a baseline measurement of secondary education
performance. Each state conducts annual tests at the elementary, middle and high school levels to
Sleep Pattern
Sleep plays a crucial role in cognitive and emotional functioning, especially during the period of
adolescence when the biological sleep-wake cycle changes rapidly. Lifestyle changes during
adolescence also may be accompanied by profound alterations in the timing and duration of sleep.
These days, many adolescents do not get enough sleep and may suffer adverse effects of insufficient
sleep.
Academic Performance
The academic performance of adolescents is important for their psychosocial development and to
prepare them for adulthood. The learning capacity and academic performance of adolescents may be
affected by sleep quality or quantity because sleep plays important role in attention and memory.
Several studies have reported an association between academic performance and sleep duration in
adolescence. However, others have found no significant association between academic performances
and sleep duration in adolescents or in medical college students. This discrepancy may be explained
by the fact that sleep duration cannot exactly represent the unmet sleep need for each individual.
Conceptual Framework
Jordan, P. (2019) stated that poor and lack of sleep will greatly affect the academic performance of
the students. Time activeness also contributes to the academic performance of the students.

processes. A person's chronotype is the propensity for the individual to sleep at a particular time
during a 24-hour period. In this study, the term chronotype was used to determine in which category
the students fit and which category has a negative effect to the student’s academic performance.
Sleep Deprivation. It is the consistent lack of sleep or reduced quality of sleep. In this study, the
term sleep deprivation was used to know if it has a negative impact to the student’s performance for
