Section A. Causes of Sleep Deprivation

1. What is your primary reason for sleeping late on school nights?


☐ Academic workload
☐ Social media use
☐ Gaming
☐ Family responsibilities
☐ Watching videos/TV

Table 1: Distribution of Responses on Why Students Sleep Late During School


Nights (n=40)
Responses Frequency Percentage%
Academic Workload 8 20.00%
Social Media Use 9 22.50%
Gaming 10 25.00%
Family 7 17.50%
Responsibilities 6 15.00%
Watching videos/TV
TOTAL 40 100.00%

Percentage:
The table shows that gaming is the main cause of sleep deprivation at 25.00%, followed by social
media use with 22.50%, academic workload, such as schoolwork (20.00%), and family duties or
responsibilities (17.50%). The least common cause is watching videos or TV (15.00%). This means
that sleep deprivation is caused by different factors depending on the student’s situation and daily
activities.

Measures of Central Tendency:


Since the data is categorical, the only applicable measure of central tendency is the mode, which
identifies the most frequent response. And according to the table, gaming appears to be the most
frequent or common cause of sleep deprivation.

Measures of Position:
Quartiles, Deciles, and Percentiles cannot be used for categorical data; they are only applicable to
numerical data.

Measures of Variability:
The standard deviation is not applicable because it only works with numbers. Hence, it cannot be
used to categorical data.

2. How would you describe your sleep condition during school days?

Table 2: Distribution of Students’ Sleep Conditions During School Days (n=40)


Responses Frequency Percentage%
Not deprived 6 15.00%
Mildly deprived 11 27.50%
Moderately deprived 7 17.50%
Severely deprived 8 20.00%
Extremely deprived 8 20.00%
TOTAL 40 100.00%

Percentage:
The result shows that most students are mildly deprived of sleep at 27.50%. Followed by 20.00%
who are either severely deprived or extremely deprived. And only 15.00% of the students are not
deprived, which means that very few of the students are actually maintaining a healthy sleeping
habits during school days.

Measures of Central Tendency:


The applicable measure of central tendency for this data is the mode. This shows and identifies the
most frequent response, which is mildly deprived. And this suggests that while most of the students
are not extremely deprived, but many of them still face difficulties in getting enough sleep or rest.

Measures of Position:
The measures of position (quartiles, deciles, and percentiles) are not applicable since the data is
categorical. These measures are only suitable for numerical data.

Measures of Variability:
Standard deviation does not apply to this data because it’s only for numerical data. Hence, we
cannot use it for categorical data.
Section B. Severity of Sleep Deprivation
3. On average, what time do you usually go to bed on a school night?
On average, what time do you usually go to bed on a school night?
☐ Before 9:00 PM
☐ 9:00 – 10:00 PM
☐ 10:01 – 11:00 PM
☐ 11:01 PM – 12:00 MN
☐ After 12:00 MN

Table 2: Distribution of Students’ Average Bedtime on School Nights


Responses Frequency Percentage%
Before 9:00 PM 6 15.00%
9:00 – 10:00 PM 9 22.50%
10:01 – 11:00 PM 5 12.50%
11:01 PM – 12:00 MN 10 25.00%
After 12:00 MN 10 25.00%
TOTAL 40 100.00%

Percentage:
The results show that the highest number of students who sleep very late is at 50.00%, either
between 11:01PM – 12:00 MN or after 12:00 MN. While only 15.00% go to bed before 9:00 PM,
followed by 22.5% who sleep between 9:00 – 10:00 PM, and 12.5% sleep between 10:01 – 11:00
PM. This suggests that majority of students tend to stay up late during school days.

Measure of Central Tendency:


The applicable measure of Central Tendency is the mode. And the most frequently responded is
11:01 PM – 12:00 MN, with the highest percentage of 25%, which suggests that the most common
bedtime amongst students is late at night.

Measures of Position:
The measures of position (quartiles, deciles, and percentiles) are not applicable since the data is
categorical. These measures are only suitable for numerical data.
Measures of Variability:
Standard deviation does not apply to this data because it’s only for numerical data.

4. On average, how many hours of sleep do you get on a school night? _____ hours
Table 4. Distribution of Students’ Average Hours of Sleep on School Nights (n=40)
RANGE (in hours) DESCRIPTION FREQUENCY PERCENTAGE
≤ 2.0 hrs Extremely low 1 2.50%
2.1 – 4.0 hrs Very low 8 20.00%
4.1 – 6.0 hrs Low 23 57.50%
6.1 – 8.0 hrs Recommended 7 17.50%
>9.0 hrs Above recommended 1 2.50%
TOTAL 40 100.00%

Percentage:
The data shows that more than half of the students (57.50%) usually sleep 4.1 to 6.0 hours on
school nights. This shows that most students are not reaching the recommended hours of rest. At
the extremes, only 2.50% get "Extremely low" sleep (2 hours or less), and another 2.50% sleep
"Above recommended" levels (more than 9 hours).

Measure of Central Tendency:


For this data, the best measures of central tendency are the median and mode. The median is 4.1–
6.0 hours, which means that 50% of students sleep less than this and 50% sleep more. While the
mode is also 4.1–6.0 hours, meaning most students get this amount of sleep, which falls under the
insufficient category.

Measures of Variability:
Based on the data, students’ sleep goes from Extremely low to Above recommended levels,
covering a wide [Link] a standard deviation of 1.6 hours, it shows that while many students
are grouped in the Low category, there are still others who belong in the Very low or Above
recommended [Link] shows that sleep deprivation is widespread, though some students
manage either less or more sleep than the majority.
Section C. Effects of Sleep Deprivation

Questions:
5. Lack of sleep makes it harder for me to concentrate during classes.
6. When I do not get enough sleep, my test and quiz scores are affected.
7. Sleep deprivation reduces my motivation to complete assignments or participate in class
activities.
8. I feel physically tired or sleepy during classes because of lack of sleep.

A 5 Point Likert – Scale:


5 = Strongly Agree, 4 = Agree, 3 = Neutral, 2 = Disagree, 1 = Strongly Disagree

Range = Highest - Lowest Value


 Range = 5 - 1 = 4
R=4
 Class Interval = 5 - interval
Interval Width = 0.80

Table 5: Distribution of Students’ Responses on How Academic Workload Affects


Sleep Deprivation (n=40)
RANGE DESCRIPTION FREQUENCY PERCENTAGE
4.20 – 5.00 Extreme 3 7.50%
Exhaustion
3.40 – 4.19 Severe Exhaustion 17 42.50%
2.60 – 3.39 Moderate 14 35.00%
Exhaustion
1.80 – 2.59 Mild Exhaustion 6 15.00%
1.00 – 1.79 Very Mild 0 0.00%
Exhaustion
TOTAL 40 100.00%

Percentage:
Based on the data from the students, 7.50% of them have Very Mild Exhaustion, 20.00% have Mild
Exhaustion, 22.50% with Moderate Exhaustion, 27.50% in Severe Exhaustion, and 22.50% at
Extreme Exhaustion. This means that most of the students are experiencing Moderate to Extreme
levels of exhaustion.

Measure of Central Tendency:


For this data, the best measures of central tendency are the median and mode. The median result
points to the Severe Exhaustion category/response, meaning that at least half of the students
believe academic requirements disturb their sleep quite a lot. While the most frequently occuring
answer is also Severe Exhaustion, with 42.50%, this suggests that the strongest opinion shared by
students is that schoolwork significantly interrupts their rest.

Measures of Variability:
Based on the standard deviation, the students’ answers vary: many strongly feel that school
workload affects their sleep, but some only feel a moderate [Link] means students experience
school demands differently, but in general, heavy schoolwork reduces sleep, which impacts their
focus, test scores, energy, and attentiveness in class.

Common questions

Schools could introduce programs emphasizing time-management skills, propose later start times to accommodate natural sleep cycles of adolescents, and provide education on the importance of sleep. Additionally, creating spaces for afternoon naps or offering stress-reduction workshops may help students cope with academic pressures .

The majority of students (57.50%) get only 4.1 to 6.0 hours of sleep, which is insufficient. This can detrimentally affect their academic performance, health, and cognitive functioning, as it is below the recommended amount for adolescents, who typically need about 8-10 hours of sleep .

Most students are mildly deprived of sleep at 27.50%, indicating that while they are not extremely sleep-deprived, they still do not get enough rest. Only 15.00% are not deprived, which suggests that a majority of students are not maintaining healthy sleep habits, impacting their overall well-being .

The mode and median indicate Severe Exhaustion, reflecting that academic workload substantially impacts sleep deprivation for most students. The standard deviation shows varied experiences among students, indicating that while schoolwork heavily affects some, others experience moderate effects, showing different coping mechanisms or schedules .

Family responsibilities account for 17.50% of sleep deprivation causes, indicating a considerable impact compared to social activities or gaming. It suggests that domestic duties could disrupt evening routines and sleep schedules, although it is not as predominant a factor as gaming or social media use .

Sleep deprivation reduces motivation and participation levels, as tired students are less likely to engage actively in class or complete assignments diligently. This is corroborated by 42.50% of students experiencing Severe Exhaustion while highlighting the significant impact on their class performance .

With a high percentage of students in Severe and Extreme Exhaustion categories, their educational outcomes could be negatively impacted by reduced focus, lower test scores, and decreased motivation. Outside school, their social life and physical health may suffer, as chronic exhaustion affects overall quality of life and learning .

The distribution shows that 50.00% of students tend to go to bed very late, between 11:01 PM and after 12:00 MN. This indicates that a significant portion of students are likely engaging in activities that delay their sleep, such as studying late at night, entertainment, or social activities, impacting their rest .

The primary reason for sleep deprivation among students is gaming, with 25.00% identifying it as the main cause. This implies that a significant number of students prioritize gaming over sleep, potentially due to its engaging nature and the social interactions it involves .

Social media and gaming, as major contributors to late sleep times, influence students' time-management skills and sleep patterns. They are engaging activities that can consume more time than planned, pushing bedtimes later, especially if students engage in these activities unsupervised or for extended periods .
