Project Abstract

<p> </p><p>Abstract
</p><p>This research explores the relationship between sleep quality and academic performance among high school students, aiming to inform evidence-based strategies for promoting student well-being and educational success. A comprehensive review of existing literature highlights the importance of sleep for cognitive function, memory consolidation, and academic performance, as well as factors influencing sleep patterns among high school students. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative assessment of sleep quality and academic outcomes with qualitative exploration of factors influencing sleep patterns and academic performance. Preliminary findings suggest a significant association between sleep quality and various dimensions of academic performance, including grades, standardized test scores, attendance, and classroom behavior. Key factors influencing this relationship include socio-demographic characteristics, sleep hygiene practices, and mental health issues. However, challenges such as academic pressure, extracurricular activities, and electronic device use may negatively impact sleep quality and academic performance. The study provides recommendations for promoting sleep health and optimizing academic performance among high school students, emphasizing the importance of sleep education, establishing healthy sleep habits, and creating supportive environments for student well-being. Implications for school policy, practice, and future research are discussed, highlighting the potential of addressing sleep health to enhance student outcomes and educational success.</p> <br><p></p>

Project Overview

<p> </p><p><strong>Chapter 1: Introduction</strong></p><p><strong>1.1 Background</strong></p><p>High school students often face numerous academic and extracurricular demands that can significantly impact their sleep quality. Sleep plays a crucial role in cognitive function, memory consolidation, and overall academic performance. However, many high school students experience insufficient or poor-quality sleep due to factors such as academic pressure, extracurricular activities, social obligations, and electronic device use. Understanding the relationship between sleep quality and academic performance among high school students is essential for promoting student well-being and educational success.</p><p><strong>1.2 Rationale</strong></p><p>Despite the recognized importance of sleep for academic performance, there is a need to systematically explore the relationship between sleep quality and academic outcomes among high school students. Identifying factors influencing sleep quality and understanding how sleep patterns affect academic performance can inform interventions and policies aimed at improving student health and educational outcomes. By exploring this relationship, this research aims to contribute to the development of evidence-based strategies to support the sleep health and academic success of high school students.</p><p><strong>1.3 Objectives</strong></p><p>The primary objective of this research is to explore the relationship between sleep quality and academic performance among high school students. Specifically, the study aims to:</p><ol><li>Review existing literature on sleep quality, academic performance, and factors influencing sleep patterns among high school students.</li><li>Examine the association between sleep quality and various dimensions of academic performance, including grades, standardized test scores, attendance, and classroom behavior.</li><li>Investigate potential mediators and moderators of the relationship between sleep quality and academic performance, such as socio-demographic factors, sleep hygiene practices, and mental health.</li><li>Identify barriers and facilitators to maintaining healthy sleep patterns among high school students.</li><li>Provide recommendations for promoting sleep health and optimizing academic performance among high school students.</li></ol><p><strong>1.4 Structure of the Thesis</strong></p><p>This thesis consists of five chapters. Chapter 1 introduces the research topic, including background information, rationale, objectives, and the structure of the thesis. Chapter 2 presents a comprehensive review of relevant literature on sleep quality, academic performance, and their relationship among high school students. Chapter 3 outlines the methodology employed in this research, including study design, participant recruitment, data collection methods, and statistical analysis procedures. Chapter 4 presents the findings of the study, including the relationship between sleep quality and academic performance among high school students and factors influencing this relationship. Finally, Chapter 5 discusses the implications of the findings, limitations of the study, and provides recommendations for future research and practice.</p> <br><p></p>
