Abstract

Sleep is a physiological process essential in the lives of every person. Adequate sleep contributes to an individual’s overall health and well-being. Thus, getting a proper amount of sleep at night helps an individual to stay focused, improve concentration, and improve academic performance for students. However, in recent studies there are still conflicting conclusions on the link between sleep and academic performance. This study aimed to determine the correlation of sleep quality and self-report academic performance among the first year BSOT Students of DLSMHSI A.Y.2021-2022. A developed 5-point Likert scale was used to determine the perception of the students regarding their academic performance which comprised of quizzes, worksheets, assignments, long written examinations/OSPE, group works and activities, and oral recitations and reports. Furthermore, the researchers utilized the PSQI in determining the sleep quality of the first year students of Occupational Therapy. A total of 55 first year occupational therapy students completed the questionnaires. It was found that the majority of the respondents have poor sleep quality (89.1%). More than half of the respondents were found to have Above average overall academic performance (61.8%) and a large majority has average overall academic performance (32.7%). The correlation between sleep quality and academic performance was measured using Pearson r. This study concludes that there is no correlation between sleep quality and academic performance among the first year BSOT Students of DLSMHSI A.Y.2021-2022.
