According to the study of Morgan Persky (2018) sleep revives body cells, removes waste from the

brain and supports learning and memory. It even plays an important role in regulating mood,
appetite and libido. Based on a study of sleeping habits, young people are recommended to sleep
nine hours a night.

The brain creates two different types of sleep, slow wave sleep (SWS), known as deep sleep, and
rapid eye movement (REM), also known as REM sleep. SWS spend most of their time during sleep,
which is characterized by large slow brain waves, relaxed muscles and deep breathing that help the
brain and body recover after a long day. After SWS, REM sleep begins. During REM sleep, the
dreamer's brain becomes highly active, while the body's muscles become paralyzed and breathing
and heart rate become irregular. The purpose of REM sleep is still a biological mystery. sleep is not
a priority in society and high school students often have to sacrifice it.

According to the National Sleep Foundation (2019), Teenagers are notorious for staying up late.
When they are not working on school projects, they tend to socialize late into the night and lose
valuable sleep. A recent study published in the Journal of Adolescent Health found that as many as
two-thirds of high school students get less than seven hours, so they sleep at night. The survey
also revealed that girls and upper class students sleep the least. Most students probably know that
lack of sleep is bad, but they still want to sacrifice sleep and therefore their health, telling
themselves that it will only last a moment and they can soon start sleeping 12 hours a day when the
semester is over. .

According to Marella Castro (2017)


Losing sleep for a day or so makes you less alert, forgetful, more cunning and irritable, less active
and more prone to accidents. It affects key brain functions like reasoning, problem solving and
decision making that you need for everyday activities. If you process a lot of data at work, the
"sharp wave vibrations" that occur during deep sleep are exactly what you need to consolidate and
lock new information into memory. Students are more likely to have long-term anxiety, depression
and other mood disorders. Chronic insomnia weakens your immune system and makes you
vulnerable to serious health problems. Long-term sleep deprivation changes the way your body
processes glucose, which can lead to adult-onset diabetes. Your heart rate and blood pressure
increase, which causes inflammation and increases your risk of heart disease. In addition, long-term
anxiety, depression and other mood disorders are more likely.

According to Rhobie Alburo Ruaya (2020), lack of sleep can have various negative consequences. In
addition to memory loss, cognitive problems and heart disease can also occur. People or Filipinos
who slept less also had significantly less pain tolerance. Researchers from the Associated
Professional Sleep Societies say people without sleep are most likely to feel disconnected from their
bodies and minds. There are cases where people still function well and get through the day despite
lack of sleep. However, not everyone's mind and body could be trained for such action.
