Justification

Introduction

Sleeping makes a person feel healthier and its benefits go beyond just improving the state of mind. Sufficient sleep is a crucial part of a healthy routine since it can benefit the mind, body weight and heart among others. This research report attempts to determine the benefits that sleeping in the life of people. The rationale behind this study is to determine whether sleeping has an impact on health, success and performance; thus the study attempts to answer some of the following research questions;  

1. Does proper sleeping prevent diseases?
2. Does bad sleeping have an adverse impact on health?
3. How does sleeping affect, the activities of humans?
4. What is the relationship between sleep and their performance?
5. What is the relationship among early sleeping pattern and the success?

Background Research

Sleeping plays critical roles in the life of human beings. Sleep is vital for memory and mind; thus lack of sleep can affect the well-being of human beings. Scientists and researchers have gone to great pits to fully fathom the benefits of sleeping. They found that lack of sleep effect memory, performance and wellbeing. There is a relation between sleep and performance, as well as success. Lack of proper sleep impacts academic performances. However, better sleep increases health, performance and it boost mood. Also, early sleeping pattern contributes to success.

Data Collection Procedures

            The data collection procedures offer guidelines for gathering, processing and scrutiny of information. The study collected data using research surveys and questionnaires to determine the benefit of sleep. I selected 15 participants within and outside the college campus to answer the research questions provided below in the appendix. I then distributed the survey questions to the targeted population. The inclusion criteria included all participants from various backgrounds including age, gender, education level, class, religious and cultural aspects among others. The study excluded only people with disability issues such as blindness because they could not read the research survey questions.  

Results/Findings

The study findings indicate that proper sleep provides better results and prevents many diseases. I asked whether sleep offers better results. From this question, about 93.33% and 86.66% revealed that sleep provide better results and prevent diseases respectively. I also wanted to know if it necessary to sleep and wake up on the same timings daily. From this question, 13 out of 15 people, approximately 86.66% revealed that it is necessary to sleep and wake up at the same time every day. For the case of whether bad sleep have an adverse impact on health, 73.33% said yes, while 26.66% said it does not have any effect on health. 14 out of 15 people reported that sleeping affect the activities of humans. The study also found that there is a strong link among early sleeping pattern and the success. 53. 33% reported that sleeping pattern contributes to strong memory and 46.66% reported that it makes the person feel fresh.

Discussion of the Findings

The findings of this study are significant because sleep and performance have positive impact on health; thus people should change their sleeping patterns by fixing sleeping time. Most participants reported that 7 to 8 hours are the best fixed period for proper sleeping. Sleep is significance because body remains healthy, mind remains fresh and it enhances the performance of daily activities. Therefore, the study findings are crucial because it attains the anticipated research objective efficiently. However, the study has some limitations including lack of validity and there is no way I can tell if the respondents are telling the truth. Therefore, it is recommendable for future researchers to employ both qualitative and quantitative research approaches to collect information on benefits of sleeping; thereby attaining the intended research goals effectively.
