1.

Sleep Duration: Studies have shown that both short and long sleep durations are associated with
lower academic performance. The optimal amount of sleep for most students is around 7-9 hours per
night.

2. Sleep Quality: Not just the amount, but the quality of sleep is also important. Students who
experience poor quality sleep or suffer from sleep disorders like insomnia often have lower grades.

3. Sleep Consistency: Maintaining a regular sleep schedule is crucial. Students who have irregular sleep
patterns tend to have lower academic performance. This is because our bodies thrive on routine, and
disrupting this can affect cognitive function and mood.

4. Late Bedtimes: Students who stay up late often have lower academic performance. This may be
because late bedtimes often lead to insufficient sleep, which can affect memory, concentration, and
other cognitive functions.

5. Napping: While napping can be beneficial to make up for lost sleep, excessive or irregular napping can
disrupt nighttime sleep and lead to lower academic performance.
