Abstract

A combine variables together or academic load, extracurricular activities, and too much use of technology shows that these variables cause long-lasting effects on student's sleep patterns and their physical, emotional and cognitive health. Grade 11 Humanities and Social Sciences students are especially affected by academic demands. Students who have poor sleep quality will be less able to concentrate, remember, or process information, all of which have negative impacts on students’ academic performance. The research utilized for this study was quantitative and correlational in nature, investigating the relationship between Student Ratings of sleep and academic achievement and grades. Data were collected using a survey questionnaire administered to Cluster Sample Grade 11 HUMSS students. The survey instrument included 3 parts: (I) assessing the students' Sleep Quality (Sleep Latency, Sleep Duration, Sleep Disturbances); (II) measuring their Academic Performance (Written Works, Performance Tasks, Examinations); and (III) identifying issues faced by the participants. The Process for Data Collection of the survey instrument was systematically given out and collected. The researchers analyzed the data on the impact of sleep quality on the academic performance of grade 11 humanities and social sciences students. The quality of sleep was measured in terms of latency, duration, and disturbances, with overall weighted means of 3.13, 3.37, and 3.16, respectively. The academic performance was measured by written works, performance tasks, and exams, with weighted means of 3.26, 3.31, and 3.14, respectively. The correlation result of the quality of sleep and academic performance showed a coefficient of r = 0.6433 (t = 0.8403, p = 0.555), which showed no statistically significant relationshipThe results emphasize the importance of sleep as a plan of action to improve the students’ concentration, memory, and overall academic performance. In the discussion we have summary of findings, conclusion and recommendation/action plan. In summary of findings we have six main problems latency, duration, disturbances, written works, performance and examination. In conclusion the respondents answer strongly agree that sleep quality affects their sleep quality in terms of latency, duration and disturbances.
