INTRODUCTION
underlying this relationship are not fully understood. One potential mechanism is metacognition,
which refers to the ability to think about one's own thinking. Metacognition is important for
learning and academic achievement, and it may be particularly vulnerable to sleep deprivation.
academic performance in Grade 12 STEM students in Julio Ledesma National High School
could provide valuable insights into the underlying mechanisms since the researchers have
observed that Grade 12 STEM students are subjected to have sleepless nights due to academic
work throughout the night. This analysis will involve collecting data on students' sleep habits,
metacognitive abilities, and academic performance. The data could then be analyzed using
statistical methods to determine whether there are significant relationships between the variables.
Hayrani, and Menati (2020), titled "The Effect of Sleep Quality on Students' Academic
Achievement," which underscores the profound implications of sleep quality on scholastic
success.
A study published by Espino, J. M., & Reyes, M. A. (2016), the Philippine Journal of
Psychology found that sleep deprivation impaired the metacognitive skills of Filipino university
students. The study found that sleep-deprived students were less likely to monitor their
understanding of the material to identify areas where they needed to improve, and develop
This study does not merely address the issue of sleep in isolation but endeavors to
academic accomplishment. This will also explicate the complex relationship between sleep and
learning in a way that is helpful to both researchers and educators. Hence, the student-researchers
are motivated to conduct a further investigation that is needed to explore the specific effects of

active cognitive process. It asserts that learners are involved in acquiring, organizing,

suggests that two main processes govern sleep: the circadian process, which regulates
the timing of sleep, and the homeostatic process, which relates to the accumulation of
sleep pressure. The latter process becomes particularly relevant in the context of this
study. Sleep deprivation, whether due to academic demands or other factors, can
disrupt the delicate balance of the homeostatic process, leading to cognitive and

researchers are interested in understanding how they are influenced by sleep deprivation.
Metacognition refers to the awareness and control individuals have over their cognitive
measure of how well students are doing in their educational activities, typically assessed
through grades, test scores, or other academic indicators. The research aims to explore how
sleep deprivation affects students' thinking skills (metacognition) and their academic
performance.
1.6.1. The findings of this research will prove useful to the following entities:
1.6.1.1. Students
Students can benefit from this research by learning about the importance of sleep
for their academic success. This study will help the students by addressing the
common problem of all the students, which is not getting a good amount of sleep.
They can also learn strategies for getting a good night's sleep and for managing
their time effectively so that they can get enough sleep, which results in a great

chosen because it allows for an in-depth study in this particular group of students.
The scope limitation has to do with the understanding that Grade 12 STEM students at
Julio Ledesma National High School face particular academic responsibilities as well as
possible trouble sleeping. By focusing on this specific group, the research can provide
insights that are directly applicable to their educational setting, as well as factors that
