Introduction
Adequate sleep has a crucial role in enhancing cognitive skills especially memory retention. Poor nighttime 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.
Report
Reflection
a group of 7 students met to discuss project 1's topic which asked us to make research, using collecting data by a survey. We choose to speak about academic achievement, to make a good comparison we start searching about something related to this topic, at the end we find that sleeping impact on academic performance or achievement is good enough for this kind of researches.
initially, we did a collecting data process together to get 39 responses from UTM students. The survey was consists of 17 at the beginning to deducted it to 14 questions only, then we separate our job to 3 tasks every task has it's own responsible these tasks are R file, report, and presentation video. We distributed as following: R-file (Abdullah Osama), academic report (Osama Tokhy, Osama Abdelhameed, MD Aminuzzaman, MD Aminuzzaman, MD Tahmid) and video presentation (Ahmedalla Hanea, Saad Kabir). As shown, the report has the biggest number of members because of analyzing data process, I participated in analyzing data with Osama Tarek, however, other students take introduction, methodology, and conclusion. It was an interesting group work to implement what did we learned.
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.
