 I. INTRODUCTION

A.​ Background of the Study

Sleep plays a vital role in overall health, particularly in mental well-being and

cognitive function. For students in demanding academic environments, adequate sleep is

essential for maintaining focus, regulating emotions, and managing stress effectively.

Research has shown that insufficient sleep negatively affects cognitive abilities,

neural-behavioral functions, and psychological well-being, leading to increased stress,

anxiety, and emotional instability (Rostam Jalali et al., 2020). College students who

experience chronic sleep deprivation often struggle with concentration, experience

heightened academic pressure, and report lower overall life satisfaction, with approximately

82% of surveyed students acknowledging the adverse effects of poor sleep on their

well-being (Johnson & Lee, 2020; Olubiyi et al., 2020).

One major contributor to sleep deprivation among university students is an irregular

sleep schedule, which can lead to chronic sleep deficits and increased daytime drowsiness

(Niño García, 2019). A study on nursing students found that those with good sleep quality

(48.6% of participants) reported better emotional resilience and reduced stress levels

compared to their peers with poor sleep habits, highlighting the strong connection between

sleep and mental health (Khin Thandar et al., 2020). Furthermore, chronic sleep deprivation

has been linked to mood disturbances, impaired problem-solving abilities, and reduced

coping mechanisms, reinforcing the importance of developing healthy sleep routines for

improved psychological well-being (Alya Atieah Al Ghamd, 2013).

4
 In addition, a study by Ishita Jain (2024) found a direct correlation between sleep

quality and mental wellness, with students practicing good sleep hygiene—such as avoiding

screens before bed and maintaining a consistent sleep schedule—reporting lower levels of

stress and anxiety. Similarly, research indicates that irregular sleep patterns contribute to

increased emotional distress, with students sleeping fewer than six hours per night

experiencing higher levels of mood disturbances compared to those who get the

recommended 7–8 hours of rest (Martinez, 2019). Disrupted sleep patterns have also been

linked to a decline in emotional regulation and an increased risk of mental health disorders

(Videla et al., 2007).

Given these findings, this study aims to explore the impact of sufficient sleep on the

mental well-being of CSANSCI students, emphasizing the role of healthy sleep habits in

reducing stress, improving emotional stability, and fostering overall student wellness.

Statement of the Problem

Sleep plays a crucial role in maintaining mental well-being, emotional stability, and

cognitive function. However, many students, particularly those in rigorous academic

environments, struggle to get sufficient sleep due to various lifestyle habits, stress, and

external factors. The lack of adequate rest has been linked to mood instability, increased

anxiety, emotional distress, and difficulty in handling daily challenges.

5
This study aims to investigate the impact of sufficient sleep on the mental well-being of

CSANSCI students. Specifically, it seeks to answer the following research questions:

1.​ What are the common sleep patterns and habits among CSANSCI students?

2.​ How does insufficient sleep affect students’ mood, stress levels, and emotional

regulation?

3.​ What are the most common reasons students experience sleep deprivation?

4.​ What coping mechanisms do students use to manage stress and sleep-related issues?

5.​ How can students improve their sleep hygiene to enhance their mental well-being?​

By addressing these questions, the study aims to highlight the importance of sleep in

fostering emotional resilience, reducing stress, and improving overall psychological health.

The findings will serve as a basis for promoting better sleep habits among students, leading

to a healthier and more balanced lifestyle.

Objective

to adopt healthier sleep routines for improved mood, reduced anxiety, and better

overall well-being.

●​ Teachers and Academic Institutions – Educators and institutions can use the

study’s findings to implement policies or programs that promote better sleep hygiene

7
 among students, ultimately fostering a healthier and more supportive learning

environment.

●​ Parents and Guardians – The study can provide valuable insights for parents in

guiding their children toward healthier sleep habits, which can contribute to

improved emotional balance, reduced stress, and overall mental well-being.

●​ Future Researchers – This research can serve as a reference for future studies on

sleep and mental well-being, providing a foundation for further exploration of

sleep-related factors affecting students' psychological health.

Scope and Limitations

This study focuses on examining the effects of sufficient sleep on the mental

well-being of CSANSCI students. It aims to analyze how sleep duration and quality

influence emotional stability, stress levels, and overall psychological health. Data will be

collected through online survey questionnaires distributed to selected participants.

However, this study has certain limitations. It is limited to CSANSCI students,

meaning the findings may not fully represent students from other institutions or

backgrounds. The study relies on self-reported data, which may be subject to bias or

inaccuracies. Additionally, external factors such as diet, lifestyle, and personal stressors,

which may also affect mental well-being, are not the primary focus of this research. Due to

time constraints, the study will be conducted within a specific period, which may not

capture the long-term effects of sleep patterns on mental health.

thorough understanding and interpretation of the procedure. In the input phase, a research

question is formulated as the foundation of the study. The process phase outlines all the

necessary steps involved. Finally, the output stage focuses on analyzing the collected

data. The input-process-output framework is illustrated as follows:

II.METHODOLOGY

RESEARCH DESIGN

The research aimed to study the impact of sleep habits on the well-being of

CSANSCI students. In this study, the researchers employed a descriptive research design, a

non-experimental method used to analyze and evaluate students' sleep patterns and their

9
effects on overall well-being. To ensure a fair representation of the student population,

respondents were selected using Slovin’s Formula and Stratified Random Sampling. A

survey questionnaire was distributed through Google Forms, allowing for efficient data

collection, organization, and storage. The gathered numerical data were then analyzed to

assess the correlation between students' sleep duration, sleep quality, and their mood, stress

levels, and well-being toward the end of the school year.

MATERIALS AND METHODS

The researchers collected relevant literature and studies on the impact of sleep on mental

well-being. This includes previous research, journal articles, and studies that explore the

effects of sleep deprivation on emotional stability, stress levels, and overall psychological

10
health.​

2.Creating the Preliminary Survey Form​

A preliminary survey form was developed using Google Forms to gather initial data on

students' sleep habits and mental well-being. This survey also served as a screening tool to

identify trends in sleep patterns and potential participants for further study.​

3.Distribution of the Survey Form​

The survey form was shared through various online platforms, including student group

chats and academic forums, to ensure a broad and diverse range of responses.

Confidentiality was maintained to protect the privacy of all participants.​

4.Evaluating the Gathered Data​

Statistical Analysis

To acquire the statistically desired number of responses representing the population

of Senior High School and Junior High School levels at the City of San Jose Del Monte

National Science High School, the researchers employed Slovin's Formula and Stratified

13
Random Sampling. The sample size was determined using a 5% margin of error to ensure

an accurate and authentic number of responses per grade level.

Slovin's Formula

Formula:

n = N / 1+Ne2

Where:

●​ n = Sample size

●​ N = Population size

●​ e = Margin of error

In this case, for the combined population of Grade 7 and Grade 11:

●​ Grade 7: 140 students

●​ Grade 11: 180 students

●​ Total population (N) = 140 + 180 = 320 students

●​ Margin of error (e) = 0.05

Using the formula:

14
Thus, the sample size required is 178 students.

The researchers will divide the sample into two strata using Stratified Random Sampling

to ensure the exact number of respondents from each grade (Grade 7 and Grade 11). The

formula for stratified sampling is as follows:

Formula:

nh = (Nh / N) * n

Where:

●​ nh = Sample size for the hth stratum

●​ Nh = Population size for the hth stratum

●​ N = Total population size

●​ n = Total sample size

15
For Grade 7:

●​ Nh (Grade 7) = 140

●​ N = 320

●​ n = 178

For Grade 11:

●​ Nh (Grade 11) = 180

●​ N = 320

●​ n = 178

Thus, the final sample sizes are:

●​ Grade 7: 77 students

●​ Grade 11: 101 students

Frequency Percentage

After the survey is completed, the researchers will use Frequency Percentage to analyze

the responses. This method will help identify the most and least frequently selected options

for each question.

Frequency Percentage Formula:

% = (f / N) * 100

Where:

●​ % = Percentage of responses for each option

16
 ●​ f = Frequency of the selected response

●​ N = Total number of responses

DISCUSSION

The results of this study reveal that insufficient sleep is a prevalent issue among

CSANSCI students, with a majority receiving less than the recommended 7–9 hours per

night. This sleep deprivation negatively impacts students’ mental well-being, leading to

increased stress, mood instability, and difficulty in emotional regulation. Many students

reported feeling fatigued, irritable, and emotionally overwhelmed after nights of poor sleep.

Additionally, a significant number experienced heightened anxiety and difficulty managing

their emotions, reinforcing the importance of sleep in maintaining psychological balance.

The primary causes of inadequate sleep among students include digital distractions,

inconsistent sleep schedules, and personal habits such as late-night screen usage. Many

students struggle to establish a consistent sleep routine, which further disrupts their

26
emotional stability and overall well-being. While some students attempt to compensate for

sleep loss by taking naps, irregular sleep patterns continue to affect their daily functioning.

Addressing these issues by promoting better sleep hygiene, structured routines, and

time management strategies may help students improve their mental well-being.

Encouraging students to prioritize sleep as part of their self-care routine can lead to better

emotional resilience, reduced stress, and improved overall quality of life. Schools and

parents can play a crucial role in fostering awareness about the importance of sufficient

sleep and supporting students in developing healthy sleep habits.

IV.SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSION, AND RECOMMENDATIONS

This chapter presents the summary, conclusion, and recommendations of the

research study conducted by the researchers about the Effect of Sufficient Sleep on the

Academic Performance and Well-Being of CSANSCI Students.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

Due to various lifestyle choices and daily responsibilities, many students struggle to

maintain sufficient sleep, which plays a crucial role in emotional well-being, stress

management, and overall mental health. Research suggests that students who lack adequate

sleep often experience mood instability, heightened anxiety, and difficulty regulating

emotions, which negatively affect their daily functioning and psychological well-being.

Despite the known benefits of sufficient sleep, many students prioritize social

activities, screen time, and other commitments over proper rest, leading to inconsistent sleep

patterns. While some students attempt to manage their sleep through naps or relaxation

27
techniques, a significant portion still experiences sleep deprivation, headaches, and

stress-related symptoms due to poor sleep habits.

This study aimed to examine the effects of sufficient sleep on the mental well-being

of CSANSCI students. Using Slovin’s Formula and Stratified Random Sampling, the

researchers determined an appropriate sample size to ensure an accurate representation of

the student population. A survey questionnaire was distributed through Google Forms,

containing 15 structured questions that focused on sleep duration, sleep quality, and its

effects on students' mood, stress levels, and emotional health.

After gathering responses from 185 students, the data was analyzed using the

Frequency Percentage Formula to determine common trends and patterns. The findings

indicate that a majority of students do not receive the recommended 7–9 hours of sleep, with

many staying up late due to personal habits and digital distractions. This lack of sleep

affects their mood, energy levels, and ability to manage stress, leading to increased

emotional instability. Additionally, students reported experiencing fatigue, anxiety, and

difficulty maintaining a positive mindset due to insufficient sleep.

Despite the negative impact of sleep deprivation, many students recognize the

importance of proper rest and believe that time management, reducing screen time, and

following a consistent sleep schedule could improve their mental well-being. The study

highlights the need for greater awareness and education on the significance of healthy sleep

habits to support students' emotional resilience and overall psychological health.

28
Conclusion

This study assesses the impact of sufficient sleep on the mental well-being of

CSANSCI students. Through the survey conducted, the researchers identified students’

sleeping habits and their perception of how sleep quality affects their emotional health and

stress levels. Based on the findings, the following conclusions were drawn:

The majority of students reported not getting the recommended 7–9 hours of sleep

per night, with the primary reasons being digital distractions, inconsistent sleep schedules,

and personal habits. Despite this, students recognize the importance of sufficient sleep and

its direct impact on their mood, emotional stability, and stress management.

Results indicate that students who get more sleep tend to experience improved

emotional well-being, reduced anxiety, and better mood regulation. However,

sleep-deprived students frequently reported feeling fatigued, irritable, and emotionally

overwhelmed, which negatively affects their ability to handle daily challenges.

Furthermore, while students expressed awareness of the benefits of proper sleep

hygiene, many struggle to maintain healthy sleep habits. The majority of respondents agreed

that better time management, reducing screen time before bed, and following a consistent

sleep schedule could help improve their overall mental well-being.

According to the data collected, a significant number of students acknowledged that

lack of sleep has a noticeable impact on their mood, energy levels, and ability to cope with

stress. Additionally, many students believe that educational institutions should encourage

29
better sleep practices by promoting awareness and providing strategies to help them balance

responsibilities with sufficient rest.

Lastly, as the survey results suggest, students who prioritize sufficient sleep tend to

experience better emotional stability, reduced anxiety, and improved overall well-being.

This indicates that by establishing proper sleep habits, students can enhance their

psychological resilience, maintain a more positive outlook, and improve their overall quality

of life. With this, the researchers conclude that sufficient sleep is essential for students, as it

significantly contributes to their mental and emotional well-being.

Recommendation:

1.​ Promote Time Management Skills​

Schools should provide workshops on effective time management to help students

balance their daily responsibilities, reducing the tendency to stay up late and

improving overall sleep quality.​

2.​ Encourage Healthy Sleep Habits​

Schools and parents should educate students on the importance of maintaining a

consistent sleep schedule and the negative effects of sleep deprivation on mental

well-being, emotional stability, and stress levels.​

3.​ Reduce Screen Time Before Bed​

Students should be encouraged to limit phone use, gaming, and social media before

30
 bedtime to improve sleep quality and minimize distractions that contribute to sleep

loss.​

4.​ Support a Balanced Lifestyle​

Schools and families should promote a well-rounded routine that allows students to

prioritize rest while managing daily activities, fostering better mental and emotional

well-being.
