EXAMINING EFL LEARNERS' SLEEP HABITS AND THEIR EFFECT ON CLASS ATTENDANCE
Keywords:
Sleep Habits, Student Productivity, Academic PerformanceAbstract
The study of sleep habits and their relationship to productivity among students is an important field, as sleep has a great influence on students' cognitive function and performance. This study examines the influence of various components of sleep, namely duration and segment (quality and consistency) on productivity in academic and extracurricular activities among students. This study was conducted to determine the correlation between sleep habits and productivity levels in students, especially students of the third-year English Education Study Program at a religious institute in Central Kalimantan. Data were collected through structured questionnaires filled out by participants regarding sleep duration, sleep quality and consistency, as well as self-assessment related to academic performance and daily productivity. The results showed that college students tended to have similar sleep patterns and that sleep had a significant relationship with self-reported productivity. However, students who reported better sleep quality had significantly better academic performance and task completion. These findings point to the need for specific interventions to improve sleep health, which can ultimately support better academic achievement and general well-being. Improving sleep hygiene among college students is essential for their academic and personal development.
