Background Of The Study

Sleep is an inseparable part of human health and life, which is crucial in learning,
practice, as well as physical and mental health. It is necessary for the maintenance of physical
and mental health as well as the capacity to learn and practice new abilities. Insufficient sleep,
brief bursts of sleep more frequently, staying up late, and early wake-up hours all have an
impact on learning capacity, academic performance, and neurobehavioral processes (Duarte J,
et al. 2014).

Those who don't get enough sleep are suffering from sleep deprivation. This could be
a short-term issue that only affects one or a few nights, or it could be a chronic issue that lasts
for weeks or even months. Lack of sleep is a frequent problem of several medical conditions but
can also be caused by a variety of circumstances, many of which are harmless. The
neurological system is negatively impacted by a lack of sleep, which affects how well the brain
functions.

According to the study of (Ahrberg, K. et al. 2012), believes that stress from lack of
sleep causes poor school performance. Stress is characterized as a condition of anxiety or
mental tension brought on by a challenging circumstance. Stress is a normal human reaction
that motivates us to deal with problems and dangers in our lives. Everyone goes through
periods of stress. But, how we handle stress has a significant effect on our psychological state
holistically.
