Do you ever find yourself contemplating late at night whether to study for your math test or vocab quiz? Does pulling an all-nighter hurt your math grade more than your English grade? Perhaps there is a reason for this. Sleep is a fundamental biological process essential for memory consolidation, learning, and cognitive performance. Yet, nearly 88% of students are chronically sleep deprived, with many reporting fewer than six hours of sleep and nearly 20% engaging in all-nighters. Sleep deprivation can lead to exhaustion, anxiety, depression, a weakened immune system, memory loss, and poor academic performance. Emerging findings suggest that STEM subjects may be more sensitive to sleep loss than Humanities subjects. Because a consensus remains limited, and few studies directly compare subject-specific memory performance, this project investigates whether sleep deprivation affects academic subjects differently. To address this gap, my project will employ a mixed-methods approach combining survey data with secondary data analysis. Surveys will assess sleep habits, weekend “catch-up” sleep, academic workload, and subject-specific motivation, directly addressing key variables. This project aims to clarify how sleep disproportionately affects certain subjects and actions that can be taken to address this. My findings will inform school scheduling policies, homework expectations, sleep hygiene, and study habits.
