1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY

Sleep is food for the brain. During sleep, important body functions and brain activity occur.
Everyone has heard the general advice that people should get at least eight hours of sleep
per night. But the amount of sleep people need varies depending on their age group. For
teenagers in high school, eight hours of sleep is the minimum amount, but for good health,
they should really get up to ten. College students, on the other hand, should get about seven
to nine hours of sleep. This amount is also generally recommended for online students who
are over the age of 26.

Every student has their own sleeping patterns. But, most students do not get enough sleep.
They tend to have irregular sleep patterns across the week since they typically stay up late
and sleep in late on the weekends, finish up their assignments, which can affect their
biological clocks and hurt the quality of their sleep. Many students suffer from treatable sleep
disorders, such as narcolepsy, insomnia, restless legs syndrome or sleep apnea. These
problems can have a major impact on their health as well as their GPAs Hence, this study
will identify the sleeping patterns among UiTM Tapah students during Movement Control
Order (MCO).

1.2 OBJECTIVES OF STUDY

To identify the sleeping pattern among UiTM Tapah students during MCO.

 CONCLUSION

Our group had done our survey and research for the sleeping pattern among UiTM Tapah
students during MCO and we can conclude that most students sleeping at 12.00am to
3.00am based on the respond received from students after we distributed the questionnaire.
We got total of 82 respond from student that was selected randomly.

Firstly, majority of the students sleeps around that time because they had a difficulty
to sleep. So, they tend to entertain themselves with social medias before going to bed. It also
takes about 10 to 20 minutes for them to fall asleep.

Secondly, most of the students also find that it’s difficult for them to change their time
to sleep and their sleeping pattern since they are used to it. However, students need to fix
their sleeping pattern by making a good sleeping schedule and sticking to it.

Lastly, majority of the respondent were female because they outnumbered the male
students by the ratio of 3:1. In addition, majority of the students are from Faculty of
Accountancy and at the age 19 to 21 years old.
