The Effect of digital technology on Sleep Quality for Students’ Academic Achievement

Abstract

Background: Sleep is an inseparable part of human health and life, which is crucial in learning, practice, as well as physical and mental health. It affects the capacity of individual learning, academic performance, and neural-behavioral functions. Aim and objective: This study aimed to determine the relationship between sleep quality and students’ academic achievement. Material and methods: The study contained 450 participants. For this analysis, the cluster random sampling technique was used. All of the participants were split into three classes. Fair  social network site users (group-1) have 150 members, moderate social network site users (group-2) have 150 members, and heavy social network site users (group-3) have 150 members. Results: Our studies found that shows the mean, standard deviation, and ANOVA statistic for academic performance among Low social network sites users, Average social network sites users, and High social network sites users. Fair social network sites users had a higher mean percentage (71.38  ± 6.66 ) on academic results than moderate social network sites users (67.83 ± 6.95), whereas high social network sites users had a lower mean percentage (64.02  ± 7.06) than both moderate and fair social network sites users. ANOVA is used to compare substantial mean differences between classes and the result is F (2,447) =42.67, p.001, indicating that there is a significant difference in Academic performance between the three groups of SNS users. Conclusions: The results showed no significant difference between sleep quality and academic achievement. Nevertheless, longitudinal study should be performed to control for confounding factors.
