Abstract

This research aimed to explore the relationship between lack of sleep and academic performance among Grade 12 Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) students at Immaculada Concepcion College. To gather data, the researchers used a validated survey questionnaire with multiple questions, collecting responses from 220 students. The study aimed to analyze how sleep deprivation may impact students' academic outcomes and provide insights into the importance of sleep for academic success. The researchers used Pearson's correlation coefficient (Pearson R) to determine if there was a significant relationship between lack of sleep and academic performance among Grade 12 HUMSS students at Immaculada Concepcion College. Based on the data analysis, the researchers concluded that there is indeed a significant relationship between sleep deprivation and academic performance. The results indicated a substantial association between insufficient sleep and the academic performance of students in the HUMSS strand, emphasizing the importance of adequate sleep for academic success. Based on the findings of the study, it was revealed that the majority of Grade 12 HUMSS students at Immaculada Concepcion College recognized a significant relationship between their academic performance and their lack of sleep. The data showed that sleep deprivation had a noticeable impact on their academic outcomes, with students acknowledging that insufficient rest contributed to challenges in maintaining high levels of academic achievement. This highlights the importance of prioritizing healthy sleep habits to improve students' overall academic performance. This research aimed to explore the relationship between lack of sleep and the academic performance of Grade 12 HUMSS students at Immaculada Concepcion College.
