Abstract
This research study aims to investigate the impact of prolonged screen time on the sleeping habits of the respondents. Additionally, this study examined the external factors that compromised the sleeping hours and the enthusiasm level of the participants. An online questionnaire was distributed to the grade 12 STEM students of St. Theresa’s College Quezon City wherein 26% of the total population of the STEM strand equivalent to 20 students was randomly selected to participate. The questionnaire was administered for a week-long to monitor the behavior of the students. The T-test conducted showed that there was no significant difference on the average screen time and sleeping hours between STEM A and STEM B for both sections have similar experiences. The researchers found out that the majority of the respondents (56.6%) spent 7-9 hours of sleep for the week while the rest of the students exhibited sleep deprivation and oversleeping. Moreover, the screen time of the respondents ranged between 6-12 hours daily. Findings regarding the correlation between the average screen time and sleeping hours of the participants revealed a slight inverse relationship wherein as the screen time of the students increased, their sleeping hours were shortened. In addition, the correlation between the average sleeping hours and enthusiasm level of the students also demonstrated a slight relationship. As the students spend longer hours of sleep, their enthusiasm level increases. However, it was found that these were not applicable for all, as some exhibited unexpected practices such as not obtaining the ideal hours of sleep, but still manifested high levels of enthusiasm the next day due to the other external factors observed. Therefore, the researchers conclude that prolonged screen time impedes the ability of the STEM students in attaining the recommended sleeping hours. Furthermore, their daily activities and lifestyle also had an impact on their enthusiasm. The researchers strongly suggested that the STEM students should practice healthy sleeping habits and regulate their screen time for them to function at their full potential.
