INTRODUCTION
Background of the Study
Adequate sleep optimally impacts the physical and mental health of a person that hinders the brain
to fully function, Therefore it has a great impact on students' performance on the grades they
receive. There are recommended amount of sleep needed for different range of ages; these are the
following:
Infants aged 4-12 months 12-16 hours a day
aged 1-2 years 11-14 hours a day

aged 18 years or older 7–8 hours a day
Sleep deprivation occurs when an individual gets less sleep than usual and they need to feel awake
and alert. Sleep deprivation can lead to excessive daytime sleepiness, emotional difficulties, poor
job performance, obesity and a lowered perception of quality of life. According to “Cross, K.
(2018, January 25)”, The main variables of sleep deprivation are Fatigue, Irritability, Having
trouble focusing or learning new things, forgetfulness, "fuzzy" head, and lack of motivation. Sleep
deprivation is usually caused by a variety of factors. There are five main factors of sleep
deprivation; Jam-packed schedules, Lifestyle choices, Environmental , Insomnia, and Social
Media. Your chosen lifestyle can have a big influence on your ability to get enough sleep you
need. There are two kinds of sleep deprivation, according to Picard, C. (2019, June 10) Acute and
Chronic. Acute is when you skip one night or few nights — without sleep. The chronic kind is
when you miss out on those seven or more hours per night on a consistent basis weeks or even
months. Sleep deprivation isn’t a sleep disorder. Instead, it’s something that sleep disorders and
other medical conditions can cause. It’s important to understand that “enough sleep” is a personal
measure, which means people who need a ton of sleep may feel sleep deprived even if they get
seven or eight hours each night.

Problem Statement
The study aims to determine the sleeping habits of MINT students and its effect on their
performance in school.
Specifically, this research seeks to answer the following questions:
1. What are the sleeping habits of MINT students?
2. What are the Factors that influence their sleeping habits?
3. What is the correlation between their sleeping habits and their performance in school?
Significance of the study
The importance of this study is to help generation Z students to ease the effects of sleep deprivation
and to be acquainted with the main factors that will have a great impact on their performances in
school . This study is beneficial to generation Z students, parents and teachers. Specifically in
Meridian International College students, because it would give them a better understanding of their
sleeping habits.
Scope and Delimitation
This study aims to see the effects of sleep deprivation to mint students and how it impacts the way
they study because having a better understanding on their sleeping habits would help students
utilize their abilities to lessen it and make the most out of the process. The aspects looked into and
observed will be the answers from our respondents, and with the results, the researcher will collect
and summarize the findings to be able to determine the effects of sleep deprivation that impacts
SH Students and their academic performances. The main source of data will come from surveys
on Google Forms that are answered by Meridian International College students.
There are a few limitations to the study, including the limited time we had to conduct this study
and the limited resources that we have. Because of this, the information we are using is coming
from a few sources only and mainly focused on Meridian International College students.
Therefore, to generalize the results for larger groups- the study should have involved more
participants at direct levels. The study will be conducted in Metro Manila, Philippines, by Senior
High Students from Meridian International College.
