I. Abstract
This research report investigates the effects of sleep deprivation on the physical and
mental well-being of grade 10 students attending Balibago Integrated High School - Dita
Extension. Sleep deprivation is a prevalent issue among adolescents, and its
consequences on various aspects of health have been widely studied. However, limited
research exists specifically addressing the effects of sleep deprivation on grade 10
students within the mentioned school. The study adopts a mixed-methods approach,
combining quantitative data obtained through self-reported questionnaires and
qualitative data from interviews with students. A sample of grade 10 students from
Balibago Integrated High School - Dita Extension participated in the research, providing
information about their sleep patterns, daily activities, and feelings of exhaustion. The
findings reveal a concerning prevalence of sleep deprivation among grade 10 students.
The majority of participants reported obtaining less than the recommended amount of
sleep per night, which led to increased levels of physical and mental exhaustion. The
study highlights the adverse effects of sleep deprivation on students' overall well-being,
including decreased concentration, impaired academic performance, mood
disturbances, and increased risk of physical ailments. Furthermore, the research
examines potential factors contributing to sleep deprivation among grade 10 students,
such as excessive screen time, irregular sleep schedules, and academic pressures.
Insights from the qualitative interviews provide a deeper understanding of the students'
experiences and shed light on the underlying causes and consequences of their sleep
deprivation. The implications of this study underscore the urgent need for interventions
and support systems to address sleep deprivation among grade 10 students at Balibago
Integrated High School - Dita Extension. School administrators, teachers, and parents
should collaborate to implement strategies that promote healthy sleep habits,
emphasize the importance of sufficient rest, and educate students about the detrimental
effects of sleep deprivation on their physical and mental well-being. Ultimately, this
research aims to raise awareness about the detrimental effects of sleep deprivation on
grade 10 students and advocate for the implementation of interventions that prioritize

healthy sleep habits, ultimately leading to improved overall well-being and academic
performance among this student population.

II. INTRODUCTION

Sleep Deprivation occurs when an individual does not receive enough sleep or is sleep
deprived. Sleep deprivation is caused by a lack of sleep, which deteriorates people's
mental and physical health. Lack of sleep affects everyone because of their hobbies of
doing anything in the middle of the night or a lack of time to do their hobbies. Most
students focus on their interests on the academic side and their subjective or what they
want to do on the other, which is why they are sleep deprived.

Sleep is the most important part of the day since it allows the individual's body to
manufacture more energy and blood. Sleep also helps an individual's bones become
stronger and allows them to grow taller. People who perform sleep deprivation suffer
from a variety of ailments. When a person does not get enough sleep, their body
becomes ill and their blood circulation suffers as a result of anemia, or a lack of healthy
red blood cells. Anemia occurs when the body is led by white blood cells. Anemia
affects an estimated one-third of the global population, hence half of the estimated
population is sleep deprived.

Other negative effects of sleep deprivation include the brain's inability to restrain itself
and eating itself when an individual is sleep deprived. When a person is sleep deprived,
the brain is the most affected organ. The brain works 24 hours a day, seven days a
week, and its only break is when the person in control sleeps.

The Problem with the research is that students prioritize some work more than their
selves and later on regret it.

Sleep deprivation can bring a person dangerously close to death. The majority of the
world's population died as a result of a lack of sleep. Many kids nowadays die as a
result of a lack of sleep and being overstressed as a result of having too many
responsibilities or schoolwork allocated to them.

Students always sleep poorly in order to do their work completely. Everyone may say
that because they are still young and can still perform sleep deprivation, but little did
they know that even if they are still young, their brains can no longer support this type of
sleep deprivation habit. Students are always focused on performance tasks and
homework. Nowadays, performance activities are frequently the most graded aspect of
a student's education. Written assignments and quarterly exams were only scored at
20% each, whereas performance activities were graded at 60%. Many students prefer
to do their assignments in such a way that they would be flawlessly graded, hence
another cause for sleep deprivation is to complete their Performance tasks. Another
reason they sleep poorly is that they spend their nights playing games and accessing
the internet on their phones. Nowadays, young folks value their phones above
themselves. They prefer their phones over themselves and are hence more likely to be
prioritized. This is the leading cause of death among young adults and students, as a
result of sleep deprivation and radiation from mobile phones. Sleep deprivation may
also cause hazy eyesight or other major difficulties.

This aims for the students to make a Daily schedule to make their time more efficient
and make their lives more easily and To enhance their self-discipline.

1. Time Management Is when an individual divides their activities into time, just like for
example; 1:00 p. m. should be Doing The English Assignment and 2:00 p. m. should be
the break. Breaks or rests are supposed to be maintained in a day.

2. Daily schedule, Daily schedules are the schedules an individual were going to do in a
day and Specific about what you're going to do in a day, To enhance your self-discipline
and To finish the Given tasks.

3. To expand their lives longer, Aside from " breakfast is the most important meal of the
day", on the other hand, Sleep is the most important rest of the day because it Fixes our
body and Energizes every individual every morning, it also helps the individual's body to
be more productive and Repair the body every time an individual sleep.

The objective of this study is to make students aware of their harmful habits of sleep
deprivation due to a lack of self-discipline. Every student should have a schedule of
what they are doing at school and at home. Students should be aware of which
activities they should limit. Every student has struggled both at home and at school,
thus everyone must stick to their schedules. Everyone, just like schedules, needs to
know how they feel when they don't get enough sleep. Sleep deprivation causes a
student's mind to go blank when the teacher is teaching, resulting in a low grade in
recitation.It focuses on a specific notion such as when students frequently perform sleep
deprivation and why they do so.

III. Method

Research Question: What is the relationship between lack of sleep deprivation and
physical and mental exhaustion in Grade 10 students? Hypothesis: Lack of sleep
deprivation causes physical and mental exhaustion in Grade 10 students. Participants:
Grade 10 students from one or more schools in a specific geographical area. Sampling
Method: Stratified random sampling method will be used to select participants from
each school to ensure that a representative sample of students from different academic
levels and socioeconomic backgrounds is obtained. Data Collection Method: A survey
questionnaire will be used to collect data on the participants' sleep patterns, physical
and mental exhaustion levels, and other relevant factors such as academic workload
and extracurricular activities. The questionnaire will be administered in a classroom
setting during school hours. Data Analysis Method: Descriptive statistics such as means
and standard deviations will be used to summarize the data collected from the survey.
Inferential statistics such as correlation and regression analysis will be used to
investigate the relationship between lack of sleep deprivation and physical and mental
exhaustion in Grade 10 students. Ethical Considerations: Informed consent will be
obtained from the participants and their parents or legal guardians before administering
the survey questionnaire. Participants will be assured of confidentiality and anonymity,
and their data will be used only for research purposes. Limitations: The study may be
limited by self-report bias, as participants may not accurately report their sleep patterns
or exhaustion levels. Additionally, the study may not be generalizable to other age
groups or geographic areas. Significance: The study may contribute to the
understanding of the relationship between lack of sleep deprivation and physical and
mental exhaustion in Grade 10 students, and may inform interventions to improve
students' sleep patterns and overall well-being.

V. Discussion

The lack of sleep among Grade 10 students at Balibago Integrated High School- Dita
Extension is a significant concern, as it leads to physical and mental exhaustion.To
address this issue, it is crucial to raise awareness among students, parents, and
educators about the importance of adequate sleep. Schools can implement strategies
such as adjusting school start times, promoting healthy sleep hygiene practices, and
providing resources for stress management. Additionally, it is essential to involve
parents in this discussion to create a supportive home environment that prioritizes
sleep. Parents can establish consistent bedtime routines, limit electronic device usage
before sleep, and provide a quiet and comfortable sleeping environment for their
children. Furthermore, educators can encourage students to prioritize self-care, time
management, and balance their academic and extracurricular commitment
