    The document discusses the importance of sleep for cognitive functions like memory and learning. It states that the National Sleep Foundation recommends 7 to 10 hours of sleep per night. Several studies have shown that lack of sleep is correlated with poorer academic performance in students due to lower cognitive abilities from poor sleep quality. Specifically, a study found that sleep loss interferes with students' academic and extracurricular choices. The document also notes that many students, especially in the Philippines, are not getting sufficient sleep and this can negatively impact their daytime behavior and academic performance through reduced concentration, attention, and mood.

    Sleep is a state on which the body and mind of an individual is relatively inactive

    and its muscles are relaxed. In human body, sleep aids with all the cognitive
    function such as: memory, learning, decision making, and critical thinking. Sleep
    is also said to be a physiological adaptation to conserve energy.

    Sleep is vital and plays an important role in human system. According to the
    National Sleep Foundation (2015) an individual needs at least 7 to 10 hours of
    sleep to store energy and be able to function properly.

    However, not everyone is getting sufficient sleep to function duly, especially


    students. Many studies in the past have shown that sleep deprivation does correlate
    with poor academic performance because of lower abilities in cognition as a result
    of poor sleep quality. In the study done by Gilbert and Weaver (2010), the two
    researchers found that sleep loss interferes with a student’s academic,
    extracurricular and vocational choices.

    According to Leonidas (2014). A medical news report from America, stated that
    school stress keeps 68% of students awake after their head hit the pillow. Only 30%
    of the students sleep 8hours at night, the average recommended sleep for young
    adults. 20% of the the students pull all nighter atleast once a month.

    In maintaining a good academic performance, an individual should also recognize


    factors that can either help or hinder his goal. And as said beforehand, sleep
    plays a vital role when it comes to academic performance, a sleep deprived
    individual is/can be dysfunctional during day time, therefore, there are chances of
    having low academic scores and because of experiencing sleep deprivation.

    In the Philippines, Arceo-Dumlao (2014) have said that based on the research done
    by Sun Life Financial Asia, almost half of the Filipinos sleep less than six hours
    a day. Also according to the 2016 Healthy Living Index Survey, Filipinos have one
    of the highest rates of sleep deprivation in Asia; 46% of Filipinos do not get
    enough sleep while 32% said they sleep for less than six hours. Poor quality sleep
    has significant impacts on daytime behavior and academic performance, as well as
    concentration, attention, and mood.

    In today's fast-paced society, five or six hours of sleep may sound pretty good but
    in reality, it is not, it could lead to sleep deprivation and can cause greater
    dysfunction. Yet, no matter how important sleep is, not everyone is able to have a
    good amount of sleep and students are some of the individuals who are in great need
    of adequate amount of sleep however, not being able to get. Most of these teens
    just are not sleeping enough.

    In this study, the researchers’ objective is to find out the impacts of sleep
    deprivation on the academic performance of the students and if such impacts are
    significant. One must also be able to identify their level of sleep deprivation and
    what causes them to reach its level.
