BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Sleep is one of the essential needs of human beings. It helps our body and mind to be recharged,

thus, also affecting proper cognitive and behavioral functions (Fry, 2020). Cherry (2020) defined

cognition as the mental processes included in gaining knowledge and comprehension, such as thinking,

knowing, and problem solving. These processes affect every aspect of people’s life, including learning.

Based on Toyong and Toyong (2020), the amount of sleep teenagers aged 14-17 need were 8-10 hours,

while young adults aged 17-25 need 7-9 hours of sleep. However, Philippines is one of the highest rates

in Asia who experience sleep deprivation; 46% of Filipinos do not get enough sleep while 32% said they

sleep less than six hours (Junadi, 2017).

Sleep deprivation, defined as insufficient hours of sleep, has been one of the problems of

teenagers all around the world. As the academic year starts, students are obligated to wake up early due to

their classes that results to oversleeping in the weekends or their free time. Still, the hours of sleep they

are getting are not enough that may result to different problems such as depression, worsened emotional

regulation, and other diseases on the long run (Biller et al., 2021). According to Dave (2019), sleep has

been linked to academic performance. Students who lack sleep tends to lose concentration and attention

in class. Therefore, students who have a better quality and duration of sleep have better academic

performance measured based on their grades and study effort.

The study aims to determine the relationship between sleep deprivation and how it affects the

academic performance of Grade 12-ABM Students in CEIS Makati, academic year 2021-2022. With this,

the researchers will use questionnaires to obtain information and data for the study. The researchers

would use simple random sampling, thus, randomly picking students from the ABM strand to answer the

questionnaire.
