Sleep quality, duration, and consistency are associated with better academic performance in college students.Although numerous studies have investigated the relationship between sleep and students’ academic performance, these studies utilized subjective measures of sleep duration and/or quality, typically in the form of self-report surveys; very few to date have used objective measures to quantify sleep duration and quality in students. Our aim in this study was to explore how sleepiness affects university students’ academic performance by objectively and ecologically tracking their sleep throughout an entire semester By collecting quantitative sleep data over the course of the semester on nearly 100 students, we are motivated to relate objective measures of sleep duration, quality, and consistency to academic performance from test to test and overall in the context of a real, large university college course. A secondary aim was to understand gender differences in sleep and academic performance.
Adapted from Alhola, P., & Polo-Kantola, P. (2007). Neurophysiological effects of sleep deprivation in healthy adults: A pilot study. PLOS ONE, 3(5), 553-567The study by Alhola and Polo-Kantola (2007) aimed to investigate the neurophysiological effects of total sleep deprivation (TSD) on cognitive performance in healthy adults. Sleep deprivation is a common issue in modern society, with significant implications for cognitive function and overall health. Previous research has shown that lack of sleep impairs various cognitive domains, including attention, memory, and executive functions. This study sought to elucidate these effects through a controlled experimental design.
Adapted from Knutson K.L. Does inadequate sleep play a role in vulnerability to obesity?. Am J Hum Biol. 2012; 24: 361-371Knutson K.L. investigates the potential link between sleep duration and obesity risk. The study is grounded in the growing body of evidence suggesting that modern lifestyle changes, including reduced sleep, may contribute to the obesity epidemic. The primary objective is to explore how insufficient sleep may influence metabolic processes and behaviors that contribute to weight gain.
