Introduction
A good laugh and a long sleep are the two best cures for anything
-Irish proverb
Sleep plays an essential role in your health and well-being throughout your life. Getting enough good sleep
has many benefits, including protecting your physical and mental health, quality of life and personal safety. To
understand why sleep is important, think of your body like a factory that performs a number of vital functions.
As you drift off to sleep, your body begins its night shift work. We all know the value of sleeping well, and
we’ve all experienced the feeling of being refreshed after a poor night’s sleep. But even though we know this, in
our busy society, many of us are not getting the quality sleep needed to truly receive the health benefits sleep.
Some groups of people may considered sleep as wasted time and purposely deprived themselves of sleep to
pursue other things such as entertainment, educational goals or money making pursuits. This intentional sleep
deprivation is most likely to be seen in teenagers and young adults. Others may unintentionally not get enough
sleep because of night shift, family obligations, or demanding jobs. Consistent sleep wake patterns of going to
bed late, or waking up early can lead up to sleep deprivation and the accumulation of sleep debt.
Sleep deprivation can negatively affect a range of systems in the body. Not getting enough sleep prevents
the immune system and production of cytokines to fight infection. This means a person can take longer recover
to recover from illness as well as having an increased risk of chronic illness; insufficient sleep can affect
production, including growth hormones and testosterone in men. Sleep deprivation also affects your mental
abilities and emotional state. You may feel more impatient or prone to mood swings. It can also compromise
decision making process and creativity. Noticeable signs of sleep deprivation include excessive sleepiness,
This research is conducted to support and help our fellow student to find out several solutions to resolve
sleep deprivation. Resolving this issue aims to decrease the number of students experiencing it in Felix Amante
Senior High School. Sleep deprivation is critical issue that is commonly being experienced by humans,
especially those of students in senior high school. This is a common issue, however this doesn’t mean it’s
acceptable for us. Sleep deprivation affects a student’s foundation to learn. This includes their health is different
aspects. In terms of social, mental, intellectual, which means that performance is also directly affected.
Having irregular sleeps had been a pretty crucial issue on students because it doesn't only affect their
education. It also affects different aspects of life such as physical, sociological, and mental health. The study
deals with the selected GA student's problem on sleeping habits due to the school works being given on daily
basis. Information in this study also has it effects on our daily lives aside from being students, but also being a
teenager.
One of the problem on San Jose Senior High School students in the present is too many requirements to do
that is causing them to lose their focus and that can lead them to have lower grades or loss of interest of
attending classes. poor quality of sleep-caused by lots of waking up during the night has also been reported to be
a strong predictor of lower academic performance, reduced capacity for attention, poor executive function and
challenging behavior. Many adolescents get less than the average recommended level around 9 hours for this
group. But due to school commitment, teenager is required to wake up early at a set time even if they haven’t

According to (Ross Anna 2009) sleep is based on the long-held belief that sleep in some way serves to
"restore" what is lost in the body while we are awake. Sleep provides an opportunity for the body to repair and

rejuvenate itself. In recent years, these ideas have gained support from empirical evidence collected in human
and animal studies. The most striking of these is that animals deprived entirely of sleep lose all immune function
and die in just a matter of weeks. This is further supportive by findings that many of the major functions in the
body like muscle growth, tissue repair, protein synthesis, and growth hormone release occur mostly or in same
Other rejuvenating aspects of sleep are specific to the brain and cognitive function. For example, while
we are awake, neurons in the brain produce adenosine, a byproduct of the cells activities. The build-up of
adenosine in the brain id thought to be one factor that leads to our perception of being tired. Incidentally, this
feeling is counteracted by the use caffeine, which blocks the action of adenosine during wakefulness may

Related Literature
According to Harvey R. Collen and Bruce M. Altevogt, in Sleep Disorders and Sleep Deprivation:
An Unmet Public Health Problem, 2006, it is said that The cumulative long-term effects of sleep deprivation
and sleep disorders have been associated with a wide range of deleterious health consequences including an
increased risk of hypertension, diabetes, obesity, depression, heart attack, and stroke. The Institute of Medicine
(IOM) Committee on Sleep Medicine and Research concluded that although clinical activities and scientific
opportunities in the field are expanding, awareness among the general public and health care professionals is
low, given the magnitude of the burden. The available human resources and capacity are insufficient to further
develop the science and to diagnose and treat individuals with sleep disorders. Therefore, the current situation
necessitates a larger and more interdisciplinary workforce. Traditional scientific and medical disciplines need to
be attracted into the somnology and sleep medicine field. Renewed and revitalized commitments to the field
from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), academic health centers, private foundations, and professional
societies are essential to ensure appropriate public and professional awareness, education and training, basic and
clinical research, and patient care. Finally, the fragmentation of research and clinical care currently present in
most academic institutions requires the creation of accredited interdisciplinary sleep programs in academic
institutions.
According to Arianna Huffington in Sleep Revolution: Transforming Your Life One at a Time, 2016,
She said that when we fight against it, it's like an intense, on-again, off-again relationship with an ex who's
never moved out. Sometimes it's healthy and supportive of everything we do while we're awake, and sometimes
it's wildly dysfunctional and destructive. To paraphrase Tolstoy -- who himself was fascinated with sleep --
every unhappy relationship with sleep is unhappy in its own way. But whether we embrace it or resist it, one
way or the other, we're all dealing with sleep every day, every night, all the time. And unless we take specific
and deliberate steps to make it a priority in our lives, we won't get the sleep we need. Because today a full
night's rest has never been more difficult to come by. With the demands of work and family and our ubiquitous
and ever-growing arsenal of glowing screens and devices, we're hyperconnected with everyone in the world --
often from the second we wake up to the second we finally fall asleep. But unless we're vigilant, we can become
According to Joan Esherick in Sleep Deprivation & Its Consequences, 2013, it was mentioned that A
recent study by the National Sleep Foundation (NSF) found that 60 percent of people under the age of eighteen
complained of daytime tiredness. Fifteen percent (one out of every seven) said they were so tired they fell asleep
in school. You may think that not getting sufficient sleep is no big deal, but think again. According to the
National Sleep Foundation, sleep deprivation can put you at high risk for unintentional injury and death, low
grades and poor school performance, negative moods, and increased likelihood of stimulant use. The National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration views driving drowsy as actually more dangerous, and more deadly,
in a World that Never Stops, 1993, he said that leep problems have a direct association with accidents or errors
at work [44]. Furthermore, in shift workers, sleep problems are represented mainly by the disruption of the
circadian rhythm, which adversely affects health [3, 4] . Forward rotation systems are thought to reduce not only
sleep problems, but also adverse health effects by decreasing disruption of the circadian rhythm. As the
alertness of a subject deteriorates during extended periods of night work, the probability of short attention lapses
increases [1]. Sleepiness on night shift is likely to play an important role in the occurrence of nighttime
accidents2345. Torsvall et al. [6] report in their study that one of five industrial shift workers fell asleep during
According to Jean-Luc Nancy in his book titled Fall of Sleep, 2007, he said that everything is equal to
itself and to the rest of the world. Everything reverts to the general equivalence in which one sleeper is worth as
much as any other sleeper and every sleep is worth all the others, however it may appear. For sleeping “well” or
“badly” comes down merely to sleeping more or less, in a more or less continuous, or more or less perturbed
fashion. Interruptions and perturbations, including those that arise sometimes from within sleep itself, like those
nightmares that wake us up in anxiety and sweat—these accidents of sleep do not belong to it.
Related Studies
According to the study of Howard Taras, William Potts Datema published in Journal of school health
2005 entitled "Sleep and Student performance at school" to review the state of research on the association
between sleep among school‐aged children and academic outcomes, the authors reviewed published studies
investigating sleep, school performance, and cognitive and achievement tests. Tables with brief descriptions of
each study's research methods and outcomes are included. Research reveals a high prevalence among school‐
aged children of suboptimal amounts of sleep and poor sleep quality. Research demonstrates that suboptimal
sleep affects how well students are able to learn and how it may adversely affect school performance.
According to the study of Mei-Yen Chen, Edward K Wang, Yi-Jong Jeng published in BMC Public
Health 2006 entitled "Adequate sleep among among adolscents is positively assciated with health status and
health related behaviors" Amount of sleep is an important indicator of health and well-being in children and
adolescents. Adequate sleep (AS: adequate sleep is defined as 6–8 hours per night regularly) is a critical factor
in adolescent health and health-related behaviors. The present study was based on a health promotion project
previously conducted on adolescents in Tao-Yuan County, Taiwan. The aim was to examine the relationship
between AS during schooldays and excessive body weight, frequency of visiting doctors and health-related
A cross-sectional study design, categorical and multivariate data analyses were used. The hypotheses
investigated were: high frequency of AS is positively associated with lack of obesity and less frequent visits to
doctors; and high frequency AS is positively associated with health-related behavior. A total of 656 boys
(53.2%) and girls (46.8%), ranging in age from 13–18 years were studied between January and June 2004.
Three hundred and fifty seven subjects (54%) reported that they slept less than the suggested 6–8 hours on
schooldays. A significant negative association was found between low sleep and of the following health-related
behaviors: (1) life appreciation; (2) taking responsibility for health; (3) adopting healthy diet; (4) effective stress
management; (5) regular exercise; and (6) total AHP score. High frequency AS was associated with low
frequencies of obesity after potential confounding factors were controlled. Junior high school adolescents
Gender, family structure, home location and frequency of television watching or computer use were not
significantly associated with AS. These findings support the proposition that AS is associated with good health
status and high-frequency adoption of health-related behavior. Furthermore, these findings suggest that
inadequate sleep may be a screening indicator for an unhealthy lifestyle and poor health status. The results
might be useful for future research into the development of intervention strategies to assist adolescents who are

entitled "The impact of daily sleep duration on health:a review of the literature" A healthy amount of sleep is
paramount to leading a healthy and productive lifestyle. Although chronic sleep loss is common in today's
society, many people are unaware of the potential adverse health effects of habitual sleep restriction. Under
strict experimental conditions, short‐term restriction of sleep results in a variety of adverse physiologic effects,
including hypertension, activation of the sympathetic nervous system, impairment of glucose control, and
increased inflammation.
A variety of epidemiologic studies have also suggested an association between self‐reported sleep
duration and long‐term health. Individuals who report both an increased (>8 h/d) or reduced (<7 h/d) sleep
duration are at modestly increased risk of all‐cause mortality, cardiovascular disease, and developing
symptomatic diabetes. Although the data are not definitive, these studies suggest that sleep should not be
considered a luxury, but an important component of a healthful lifestyle.Health-related variables and academic
performance among first-year college students: implications for sleep and other behaviors.
According to the study of Mickey T Trockel, Michael D Barnes, Dennis L Egget published in Journal of
American college health 2000 view at tandfonline.com The authors analyzed the effect of several health
behaviors and health-related variables on grade point averages of a random sample of 200 students living in on-
campus residence halls at a large private university. The set of variables included exercise, eating, and sleep
habits; mood states; perceived stress; time management; social support; spiritual or religious habits; number of
hours worked per week; gender; and age. Of all the variables considered, sleep habits, particularly wake-up
times, accounted for the largest amount of variance in grade point averages.
Later wake-up times were associated with lower average grades. Variables associated with the 1st-year
students' higher grade point averages were strength training and study of spiritually oriented material. The
number of paid or volunteer hours worked per week was associated with lower average grades.

In addition, the children and their parents completed complementary sleep questionnaires and daily
reports. The findings reflected significant age differences, indicating that older children have more delayed
sleep onset times and increased reported daytime sleepiness. Girls were found to spend more time in sleep and
to have an increased percentage of motionless sleep. Fragmented sleep was found in 18% of the children.

students. A questionnaire concerning sleep‐related lifestyle was given to about 10 000 junior high and high
school students. Approximately 50% of the junior high and high school students take at least one nap per week.
More than 30% of students take naps later than 17.00 hours. The late naps delayed students’ bedtime; that is,
onset of night‐time sleep. The bedtime of students of university‐bound high schools was later than that of
students of vocation‐bound high schools. The more frequently students took naps, the later they went to bed.
Frequent late naps delayed bedtime and, hence, shortened the length of night‐time sleep.
