To Study the Impact of Sleep on Attention Among College Students

Abstract

This study investigates the relationship between sleep, attention, and error count among college students. The aim is to assess how sleep impacts attention and error count during cognitive tasks. Objective measures of sleep duration and attention span were collected from college students. Results reveal a significant correlation between attention span and error count, indicating that as attention performance improves, error count decreases, and vice versa. These findings underscore the importance of sleep quality in cognitive functioning and highlight the potential implications for academic performance and overall well-being among college students. Understanding this relationship can inform interventions aimed at promoting healthy sleep habits and enhancing attentional abilities in educational settings.
