THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND AND REVIEW OF RELATED

LITERATURE AND STUDIES

Introduction

The additional two years of high school in the Philippine Educational System,

school becomes for students in senior high school, the situation is overwhelming. They

are inundated with academic material. Tasks such as assignments, product creation,

and so on practices and other activities that are part of a greater proportion of their

grade. That is why there is no surprise that these STEAM-focused students. Academic

tracks are overrun with academics undertaking. Making projects consumes a lot of time,

many hours, causing students to stay up late at night to complete the projects they have

and prepare for their exams the day after. As a result, these students may face

problems if they continue to be sleep-deprived. In the future, there will be health risks.

There are numerous negative outcomes when students do not receive the

recommended amount of sleep. As a result, they must be aware of the consequences

and comprehend the dangers they pose (Anna S. Urrila et al. 2017; Ahmed S.

2017;BaHammam et al.2012). According to Peri (2014), the brain event sharp wave
ripples are associated with the memory consolidation. The ripples frequently pass data

transferred from the hippocampus to the brain’s long-term memories are stored in the

neocortex processed. Typically, during the deepest stages of sharp wave ripples occur

during sleep. Consequently, the interpretation of events and decisions is affected. Sleep

deprivation is said to make people make bad decisions.

Like eating, drinking and breathing, sleeping is one of the basic needs of a

human. Sleep deprivation can lead to physical and mental health problems, and

reduced productivity of the student. A common myth is that people can learn to sleep

less without being negatively affected. However, it shows that getting enough, quality

sleep at the right time is important for mental health, physical health, quality of life and

safety.

Results showed that 88% of the students had sleep problems and that they

typically slept for less than 6 hours each night. Playing smartphone games and utilizing

Facebook and Messenger were two of the causes of staying up late. Making homework

and assignments was the third motivation. The most common behaviors in the

classroom are: Students were sleepy during class discussions and fell asleep during

class free time, with the third most prevalent behavior being fatigue during class. Her

61% of students have an overall average of 75-79, which is fair enough, and 29% have

grades of 80-84, which is fair only on her K-12 grading system.

Sleep deprivation occurs if the person does not get the amount of sleep they need.
Lack of sleep directly affects how students think and feel in our environment. Even after

just one night without enough rest, we students can feel very tired during the day with

slow thinking, and lack of energy.

This study aims to explore the effects of sleep deprivation on the academic

performances of senior high school students and aims to give knowledge on the effect

of sleep deprivation to the students. Students need to be aware of the importance of

sleep to success in their academic performances. Many learning-related cognitive

functions suffer dramatically from even mild sleep deprivation. The senior high school

students reduced academic performance significantly predicted by poor sleep quality.

Review of Related Literature and Studies

Foreign Literature

The stress brought on by the increased scholastic demands on college

students is probably the main cause of their frequent complaints about sleep problems

(Pascoe et al., Citation2020). A sudden change in sleeping environment, increased

social possibilities, and busy schedules might all be additional contributing reasons

(Haile et al., Citation2017). (American Medical Association, American Academy of Sleep

Medicine, Citation 2010; National Sleep Foundation, Citation 2006) In addition to posing

a serious risk to adolescents and young adults’ health, wellbeing, and academic

performance, sleep deprivation also has a significant negative impact on this group’s

health, happiness, and performance (Gaultney, Citation2010; Haile et al., Citation2017).

To determine the prevalence of sleep disorders among college students,

numerous research studies have been conducted. In particular, college students

typically report experiencing insomnia, restless legs syndrome (RLS), circadian rhythm

disorders (CRDs), mood disorders, narcolepsy, and obstructive sleep apnoea (OSA)

(Gaultney, Citation2010; Haile et al., Citation2017; Piro et al., Citation2018). Past

research has revealed that 69% of college students suffer from sleeplessness

(Abdalqadir et al., Citation2018; Sing & Wong, Citation2010). Less often recognized

disorders include narcolepsy (1.3%), depressive disorders (14.5%), nightmares (6.6%),

sleepwalking (5.7%), and CRDs (19.6%). (Piro et al., Citation2018).

 In addition, there have been conflicting reports regarding the prevalence of sleep

disorders among college students. Importantly, gender, financial level, and cultural

factors all affect the prevalence of these illnesses. In one study, roughly 30.7% and

13.6% of medical students,

respectively, experienced RLS and OSA (Piro et al., Citation2018). Yet, according to

other researchers, the prevalence of these illnesses is, respectively, 8% and 4%.

(Gaultney, Citation2010). Moreover, narcolepsy and nightmares are allegedly more

prevalent in women than men (Piro et al., Citation2018).

It is commonly known that sleep and academic achievement are related. Lack

of sleep causes daytime tiredness and increased drowsiness, which reduces mental

clarity and focus (Reisi et al., Citation2017). The capacity to handle tasks requiring

problem-solving, memory, and attention to detail may be impacted by this (Aloha &

Polo-Kantola, Citation2007). As a result, students with sleep difficulties have been

reported to have a higher chance of academic failure and have grade point averages

(GPAs) below 2.0. (Gaultney, Citation 2010). 80% of high school students in the United

States who reported getting enough sleep received As and Bs, while the opposite was

true for those who reported experiencing daytime sleepiness and insufficient sleep.

These findings come from the National Sleep Foundation (National Sleep Foundation,

Citation2006).
Local Literature

The brain cannot function effectively without enough sleep. Your capacity to

focus, think clearly, and process memories may be hampered by this. Most adults need

seven to nine hours of sleep per night. Particularly if they are younger than five years

old, kids and teenagers require a lot more sleep. Medical issues, work schedules,

everyday worries, a noisy bedroom, and other factors can all keep us from getting

adequate sleep. An appropriate quantity of sleep each night can be ensured with a

balanced diet and favorable lifestyle choices, but for some people, persistent

sleeplessness may be the first indication of a sleep disorder. According to the 2016

Healthy Living Index Survey, found that 46% of Filipinos do not get enough sleep,

making them one of the countries in Asia with the highest rates of sleep deprivation.

    Lack of sleep can have an impact on a child's academic performance and may

raise their chance of developing emotional issues like depression. Shift work, meeting

deadlines, an uncomfortable or noisy bedroom, using electronic devices right before

bed or leaving them there, medical issues like depression, sleep apnea, or chronic pain,

and caring for a loved one during the night are just a few of the many causes of

insufficient sleep (NO I Zamubec Alomar C. Adlawan).

Foreign Study

College students frequently experience sleep deprivation. Sleep deprivation can

affect one’s general health and success in both the workplace and the classroom (post-

graduation). Poorly managed sleep can have detrimental physiological repercussions

on the body. Mentally and intellectually. In relation to the acknowledged issue of sleep

deprivation, it is vital to comprehend the necessity of getting enough sleep.

The following content for the Dominican University of California Library.

The sources for the research literature were UpToDate, Iceberg, and PubMed.

Considering the results of 6 sleep deprivation, Twelve articles about sleep deprivation

were compiled from these databases. Using terms like “sleep deprivation”, “college

students”, “nursing”, “physiological, psychological, and cognitive” were input into the

databases to find content relating to our particular topic.

Local Study

The effects of full and partial sleep on cognition much research has been done

on deprivation with total sleep deficiency. Many studies have already established the

lower performance as a result of total sleep deprivation impaired working memory, poor

attention, and vigilance. Contrary to complete lack of sleep, there are a small number of

studies on the cognitive impact of prolonged sleep deprivation in part. They comprise a

diminished Speed and precision are only a few of the negative outcomes. The fact that

participants with chronic partial sleep deprivation have greater detrimental metabolic

effects, such as elevated ghrelin and decreased leptin, is notable and may help to

explain why these people have higher BMIs.

Addressing medical students specifically, several Numerous research have

demonstrated that insufficient sleep is linked to with less capacity to select the accurate

response in multiple-choice tests, which could lead to lower scores. Academic standing

between resident doctors and consultants engaged in hospital on-call responsibilities,

lack of sleep’s impacts include increasing mistake rates in inadequate intubations,

inadequate intensive care units, and absence of compassion for patients and their

families. These are all Medical professionals’ low quality of life may be caused by a

number of circumstances. Professionals in medicine and pupils. (Manuel Peter Paul C.
