Introduction
Adequate sleep has a crucial role in enhancing cognitive skills especially memory retention. Poor night time sleep quality and consequent daytime sleepiness affect physical and cognitive health of students and their academic performance. Most students probably know that depriving themselves from sleep is bad, but nonetheless they’re willing to sacrifice sleep and as a consequence, health, telling themselves it’s just for a short time and they can soon start sleeping 12 hours a day once the semester draws to a close. But research shows that sleep is extremely important, not just during finals week but throughout the entire semester.
Project report
Reflection
This project was a really new experience for me, since this my first university project.
I’ve got the chance to make use of all the knowledge gained during the lectures and through self-study, to solve a real life problem. In fact, when you study a concept, theory won’t help you to deeply understand it, and only practice will let you do so.
I also learned about many facets of teamwork that need to be in place so that a team can achieve its target efficiently and effectively. One part of this is strong contact lines. Everyone needs to realize what the goal is, and have a sort of agreed-upon understanding of how the objective is to be accomplished.
Groups usually split the workload amongst the members in order to push closer to the final goal. I have discovered that if one person does not complete his or her individual portion, the whole group suffers and it is therefore important that each member fulfills his or her task according to the specified timetable of the group.
In this project, I mainly focused on making the graphs. Hence I had to learn the R language, which turned out to be a truly amazing tool to use when doing statistical analysis. I reckon that it will truly help me throughout the course of my career.
Conclusion
All in all, the above study found that bad sleeping patterns contribute significantly to poor academic performance.
So, it is obvious that to have a great academic result, it’s very important to have a good sleeping schedule. Our brain is better than a smart phone, so it’s important to recharge it regularly for optimal performance and to allow students’ academic talent to shine. Rest and recovery are just as important as sleep. If students haven’t had a good night’s sleep, finding time during their day, whether its 10 minutes during lunch or between classes, would enhance student performance during the day. Furthermore, ignoring technology and just relaxing, will help the body feel rested even without actually sleeping. Students should go to bed early enough to have the opportunity for a full night of sleep. Adults need roughly seven to eight hours of sleep each night.
Finally, we can say that sleeping has a great impact on academic performances. This survey successfully achieved our motive.
