Various questions were asked to the upperclassmen relating to their personal sleeping and eating schedules. Consistent good patterns of sleeping and eating breakfast would benefit the upperclassmen’s work ethnic. This survey consisted of various responses that neither supported or were in favor of this theory.
The first question the upperclassmen were asked was whether they believed their sleep schedule affects their work ethic. The majority vote for this poll was yes. The juniors and seniors believed that sleep is beneficial for your focus. Being tired is distracting which lessens your capability of accomplishing the work you are provided with. Hourly sleep per night is important to the upperclassmen. The majority results show that juniors and seniors get at least 6 hours or above of sleep per night.
Students express the importance of a good sleep schedule.
“Consistently getting good sleep benefits your ability to focus on the work you’re needing done,” Kyle Borgman.
Along with sleep affecting your capability of accomplishing work, so does eating breakfast in the morning. Almost all upperclassmen responded to not eating breakfast in the morning. Aside from them not eating breakfast, they still believed that it was beneficial to your energy throughout the day. The majority of the students believe that it does affect your work ethic in school.
Some upperclassmen like to eat something small in the morning.
“I think eating something small in the morning helps you not be distracted by your hunger throughout the day,” Borgman.
Within the school day, breakfast is believed to be beneficial to the upperclassmen. Food after school, however, seemed not to be. Students explained how eating food before doing their homework made them tired and more prone to fall asleep instead.
Students do not see eating food before doing homework to be effective.
“Eating after school does not motivate me because it makes me tired and not want to do my homework,” Borgman.
The majority of students who get 6 hours of sleep or above tend to work more efficiently inside of school rather than outside. The ones that get under 6 hours tend to still work more efficiently inside of school. Students say that working inside of school is more effective because they have specific priorities to accomplish.
Upperclassmen provide insight into why working during school hours is helpful.
“I work better inside of school because I have specific things that I can focus on getting done,” Ryan Borgman.
In the same way, upperclassmen that get a consistently good amount of sleep say that they do not work well outside of school. They prefer to accomplish their work during school hours rather than waiting to do it at home. Students who get below 6 hours of sleep do not accomplish work better in either area of home or school. The upperclassmen that like working outside of school better support their preference by explaining the leniency that you have while doing your homework at home.
Students their preferences for working on homework inside and outside of school.
“I accomplish more outside of school because I have more leniency to get my homework done,” Kyle Borgman.
