Background of the study

Sleep is a normal recurrent event. A mental and physical state characterized by changes sensory activity
that is reasonably populated, consciousness practically all voluntary muscles are inhabited, and reduced
contacts with the environment The majority of people sleep during the night. The body’s systems are in
an anabolic condition, which aids in weight loss to heal the immunological system, neurological system,
skeletal system, and muscular system systems. Sleep patterns were classified as behaviors such as going
to bed on time, getting up on time, drinking coffee at night, sleeping for a long time, and taking sleeping
drugs. The National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) have called the total loss of sleep as “Sleep
Debt”. Teenagers (aged 14-17) require at least 8-10 hours of sleep, and young adults (aged 18-25)
require at least 7-9 hours at night as stated by the National Sleep Foundation (NSF, 2015). In the same
study, the NSF did not recommend less than 7 hours of sleep for teenagers and less than 6 hours of
sleep for young adults, respectively. Less sleep at night also meant sleep loss adds up. Students often
complained they do not get enough sleep at night, which affected their day time activities. Not getting
enough sleep was a common issue among college students and high school students alike.

Sleep is as essential to human health as food and water, but many of us are sleep deprived.
Inadequate sleep, Sleep deprivation or interruptions to the sleep-wake cycle have an impact on how
people perform during the day, causing tiredness, dizziness, and weariness. HUMSS have a lot of
different sleeping habits, students who grow up in a culture that encourages them to be frugal sleep
deprivation, academic work, and social obligations pursuits. Poor sleep hygiene can be caused by a
variety of factors Caffeine, alcohol, stimulants, technology, and the use of social media platforms, in
particular, preventing pupils from getting enough sleep and quality. Poor sleep, according to research,
has an immediate negative impact exercise has a detrimental impact on a person’s hormones brain
function and performance.

Poor sleeping habits were also prevalent in the Philippines. According to the Healthy Living Index Survey,
Filipinos have one of the highest rates of sleep deprivation in Asia. According to the survey, 46% of
people do not get enough sleep, and 32% sleep for less than six hours (2016). Technology may play a
role in why excellent sleep habits are difficult to maintain. Tan (2018) claimed that artificial light has
eliminated the night, and that television, phones, and tablets have extended waking hours, not merely
because of work and play, but also because they produce a blue light that stimulates increased awake.
Getting the required amount of sleep can be difficult with all of the duties we have as practitioners,
academics, and family members. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention declared insufficient
sleep to be a public health issue earlier this year. Getting enough sleep has been proven to be beneficial
to our health in numerous research. Dr. Dinges explains, “We know for sure that sleep performs various
roles.” “Nature is frugal in that it frequently employs a single system or biology in various ways to
improve an organism’s functioning.”

Students should get the proper amount of sleep at night to help stay focused, improve concentration,
and improve academic performance. Children and adolescents who do not get enough sleep are more
likely to suffer from obesity, type 2 diabetes, poor mental health, and injuries.

“Students should receive the right amount of sleep at night to help stay focused,

Increase concentration, and improve academic performance,” according to the CDC Healthy.

Children and adolescents who do not get enough sleep are more likely to suffer from obesity,

Type 2 diabetes, poor mental health, and injuries.

The majority of students are unaware that their sleeping habits can have an impact on

Their academic performance. In terms of academic achievement, when people are cramming

And not resting, the key knowledge they learned and believed they had memorized

Essentially slips out of their brain, and they will have difficulty recalling it the next day. Apart

From that, pupils who do not sleep or wake up at the same times every day are more likely to
Receive poor grades. Significant discrepancies in grade point averages can be found between

Regular and irregular pupils. Students with erratic sleeping patterns had lower ratings, near to

Zero, whereas habitual sleepers received higher values, close to 100. (Knight, 2017)

Meanwhile, stress is one cause of insomnia, while others can be attributed to “early

School and work hours,” a lack of exercise, and nighttime traditions that would be altered. In

This scenario, kids express the need for sleep in order to prevent being weary and completing

Their schoolwork properly, as attention is compromised (Merenheimo, 2018).

According to Nasim et al., (2018), nearly half of teenagers experience sleep

Deprivation during the week and three-quarters do not feel refreshed in the morning. Regular

Daytime napping is observed throughout the week, according to the study. A variety of

Biological, demographic, behavioral, and environmental factors have been linked to sleep

Deprivation in Saudi Arabian youth. Given the negative effects of sleep deprivation on one’s

Health, academic performance, and societal well-being, preventive measures should be taken.

The importance of sleep and the implications of sleep deprivation are promoted by delaying
The start of school in the morning and promoting sleep hygiene behaviors among teenagers

And the general public.

In addition to sleeping habits, of course, it has an impact on judgment and mental sharpness, among
other things numerous types of cognitive tasks everyone, however, is unique different. One person may
be able to function with fewer resources. While one person may require only 6 hours of sleep, another
may require a whole 8 hours. Any sleep deprivation for an extended period of time will have an impact
on your mood amount of energy and capacity to concentrate, focus, and learn It has a direct impact on
your academic success ( Dr. Alapat, Philip).

Understanding the underlying issues that contribute to sleep deprivation can also help students
determine which aspects of their daily routine should be altered. Knowing the dangers of sleep
deprivation may persuade youngsters to get enough sleep no matter how hectic their schedule is.
