Causes of Sleep Deprivation and Sleepiness

This document discusses the effects of sleep deprivation on college students' academic performance. It finds that college students on average get 6-6.9 hours of sleep per night, which is less than the recommended amount. Insufficient sleep has been shown to negatively impact students' health, mood, and safety. Previous studies also demonstrate associations between sleep deprivation, poor academic performance, and physical dysfunction in university students. This study aims to investigate the level of sleep deprivation of civil engineering students at a particular university in relation to their academic performance.

INTRODUCTION

Sleep is critical to physical health and effective functioning of the immune system. It is also a key promoter of
emotional wellness and mental health, helping to beat back stress, depression, and anxiety [1].

College students are sleeping less and have more changes that are not getting enough sleep. On average, most
college students get 6-6.9 hours of sleep per night, and the college years are notoriously sleep-deprived due to an
overload of activities. Recent researches on college students and sleep indicates that insufficient sleep impacts the
health, moods, GWA and safety of a person.

Sleep deprivation is common among university students, and has been associated with poor academic
performance and physical dysfunction [2]. However, current literature has a narrow focus in regard to domains
tested; this study aims to investigate the level of sleep deprivation of BSCE 2B students in relation to their
academic performance at Marinduque State College AY: 2020-2021.

Causes of sleep deprivation and sleepiness


Among college-aged students, one of the most common causes of daytime sleepiness is sleep
deprivation, ie, students get inadequate sleep because they go to bed late and wake up early. This
occurs for multiple reasons; some are physiologic and others behavioral. The behavioral
components may be particularly problematic on college campuses. However, sleep deprivation is
not the only cause of sleepiness as college students are not immune to sleep disorders, which
may also cause sleepiness. This section will review common causes of sleep deprivation as well
as the prevalence of sleep disorders among college students, and the influence of sleep disorders
on sleepiness.

Grade point average (GPA) and academic performance


Despite growing evidence of the relationships between sleep, learning, and memory, a direct connection between
learning and GPA has not yet been established.60 A student’s GPA is not just an indication of learning, but instead
involves a complex interaction between the student and their environment.61 Intelligence, motivation, work ethic,
personality, socioeconomic status, health problems, current and past school systems, course load, academic
program, and test-taking abilities all may influence GPA.

Conclusion
The college years are a time of critical transition from adolescence to adulthood. For many
individuals, this transition is associated with inadequate sleep and daytime sleepiness. Many
factors contribute to this, including the students’ own circadian physiology. Class times are often
scheduled without consideration of young adults’ circadian patterns. Inadequate sleep hygiene is
common, as students often use technology and substances that compromise sleep quality and
quantity. This chronic sleep deprivation may impair academic performance, mood regulation,
and driving safety. Students who attain sufficient sleep may still struggle with sleepiness due to
sleep disorders.
Further research is needed to not only determine how to best educate students about the
importance of sleep and the consequences of sleep deprivation, but also how to translate this
knowledge into practice. Electronic or web-based interventions may be economically feasible
and attractive to an electronically savvy demographic. Universities and colleges need to
understand, acknowledge, and publicize that policies and class schedules may have substantial
impacts on the sleep, learning, and health of their students. Investigation of new approaches to
promote good sleep and sleep habits could have significant public health impact and should be
prioritized.

SOP

The purpose of this study is to find out the level of sleep deprivation of BSCE 2B students in relation to their
academic performance at Marinduque State College AY: 2020-2021.

Specifically, it seeks to answer the following questions:

1. How do students performed during the 1 st academic year: 1st semester (2019-2020) and 2 nd academic year: 1st
semester (2020-2021) based on their academic performance (cumulative GPA)?

2. What is the difference between the level of sleeping time during 1 st academic year: 1st semester (2019-2020) and
2nd academic year: 1st semester (2020-2021)?

3. What are the factors affecting the quality of sleep during 1 st academic year: 1st semester (2019-2020) and 2 nd
academic year: 1st semester (2020-2021)?

4. Is there a significant difference between the level of sleep deprivation and the academic performance
(cumulative GPA)?

Null hypothesis

There is no significant difference between the level of sleep deprivation to the academic performance of the BSCE
2B Students.
