"SLEEPING TOWARDS EXCELLENCE: HOW SLEEP QUALITY INFLUENCES ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT"

Abstract

Sleep quality plays a vital role in academic achievement, influencing cognitive functioning, memory retention, concentration, and overall student performance. This study explores the relationship between sleep patterns and academic success, examining how adequate rest enhances problem-solving abilities, engagement, and stress management. Using a quantitative, correlational research design, data was collected through standardized sleep assessments, cognitive function tests, and academic performance indicators. Findings suggest that students with structured sleep schedules demonstrate superior academic outcomes, while those experiencing sleep deprivation encounter cognitive impairments and reduced learning efficiency. Ethical considerations, including informed consent and confidentiality, were strictly adhered to. The study underscores the importance of maintaining healthy sleep habits for educational excellence, advocating for further research on sleep interventions and their long-term effects on learning and productivity.
