 Introduction

 Sleep deprivation is a major issue.

 Time is tight
 Students face different trade-offs.
 We calculated the impact of their behaviors upon sleep
schedule.
The main purpose of this introduced
econometrics model is to find out the Work Smoking
relationship between students’ sleep
and other variables.
Transport Coffee

The main objectives of our survey GPA Sleep Workout

were ISET students.
 There are performed numerous pieces of research
concerning this significant issue.

In 2017 researchers from the Uludag university faculty of

health sciences gave insight into the immense impact of these
variables upon sleep.
 Methodology
 We used a multiple linear regression model and the OLS method
 Explanatory variables:
GPA
Hours spent on transportation daily
Weekly working hours
Daily coffee consumption in cups
Two dummy variables: workout and smoking. (1 work-out, 0
otherwise. 1 smoker, 0 otherwise)
 The sample size is 141, hence the degree of freedom is 134.

 There were some limitations: health, and time spent on leisure.

Might have resulted in high multicollinearity, hard interpretation, poor and over-
complex model.
 Smokers' distribution

 Among 141 students only 14% are smokers 20,

14%

121,
86%

No Yes

Work-out distribution

 The difference between two categories is

55,
39% still smaller compared to the smoker’s case
86,
61%

No Yes
 65 students, which is almost half of the
observations, have GPA more than 3.55

 It is approximately normally
distributed, with the mean
being 7,5 hours, meaning that
on average students sleep 7-8
hours a day
Results

 Two very statistically

insignificant variables

 Three most important

variables
Results interpretation

Transport-16.56 seconds
Smoker-1.08 minutes
Work-46.8 seconds
GPA-27 minutes
Workout-29.22 minutes
Coffee-19.44 minutes
 F statistics

Null hypothesis that all coefficients are zero

can be rejected
Goodness of fit

 Low R-squared

 Unobserved factors
 Conclusion

 Joint effect is big and important

 Model captures major sleeping issues among students

 Our model is capable of calculating an individual’s average sleep hours

indicating other factors

 Average student sleeps 6.73 hours a day

 Balancing priorities is essential
