Summary of Findings(2022)

Findings:

1. According to the participants' demographic profile, the domineering age is 18 with a percentage of 65,
and the least common age is 21 with a percentage of 1. Then there's sex or gender, which shows that
out of 100 participants, the most sex or gender is female, with a total frequency of 61, followed by
males, with a total frequency of 39. The demographic profile is then determined using their overall
weighted average. GWA, which ranges from 90–94, had the most respondents, with a total frequency of
59 and a percentage of 59, as indicated in the table, while respondents with a GWA of 89 and below
have the lowest Rank, with a total frequency of 14 and a percentage of 14. Furthermore, all

terms of sleep hours. According to the table, 60 of the respondents had only 6-8 hours of sleep, while

2. The reasons students experience lack of sleep in terms of schoolwork and household chores have a

a high total weighted mean of 4.16, where participants indicate that headaches make it difficult for
them to fall asleep, thus keeping them awake at night. That could be seen in item number 4. Finally, Our
Lady of Fatima University grade 12 STEM students responded to item number 5, which has a weighted
mean of 4.19 under the tabular presentation of why students experience insufficient sleep in terms of
distraction, which has a high total weighted mean of 3.68, demonstrating that students tend to use their
phones or gadgets to entertain themselves when they are about to sleep.
