Struggling to Stay Awake - The Sleep Patterns of Adventist Secondary School Students
"Sleep deprivation studies indicate that sleep
is vital to emotional, physical and behavioural
wellbeing. This study presents the results of a
survey in which 945 students in Seventh-day
Adventist secondary schools responded to
questions about the length and quality of their
sleep. The study found that: almost one half of
the students were at risk of falling short of the
recommended number of hours of sleep per night;
toward one in every five students were averaging
six or fewer hours sleep per night; the quality of
sleep (in terms of better sleep habits) and the
resulting levels of daytime alertness were clearly
linked to having a permanent, personal space for
sleep; and finally that academic performance was
strongly related to measures of daytime alertness
and measures of the quality of sleep habits."
