Assessment of Sleep Hygiene and Daytime Sleepiness of Senior High School Students in Private Schools in The Philippines

Abstract

The study focused on the Sleep Hygiene and Daytime Sleepiness of Senior High School Students in Private Schools in The Philippines. The researchers employ correlational study methods to determine the association between variables. The research was conducted at a private non-sectarian academic institution located in Cebu City, Philippines. Moreover, the researchers selected respondents from the target population using simple random sampling. The research respondents are senior high school students who are currently enrolled at the selected private school in Cebu City. Furthermore, the research instrument of the study is the Sleep Hygiene Index (SHI) which is a standardized self-rating tool used to evaluate sleep hygiene practices. The study revealed a notable correlation between sleep hygiene and daytime sleepiness, emphasizing the significance of upholding proper sleep hygiene to mitigate daily sleepiness among Grade 12 students. Additionally, the research found that students who consistently practiced good sleep hygiene reported higher levels of alertness and improved cognitive function during the day.
