Summary #3: Being A Night Owl In High School Is Linked With Lower College GPA Summary

This study basicly was based on data from 89 students (between 17 and 20 years old) preparing to begin college and 34 of those students as they completed their first year at a liberal arts college. Evening type students or those who say they feel more alert and do their work later in the day have less sleep hygiene. Sleep hygiene refers to regular bedtime routine, a regular wake time, a regular bed time, and sleeping in a comfortable bed. Results indicated that evening types had lowered their GPA to (2.84)in their first year in college while morning types to (3.18). These evening-type students showed a greater decrease in GPA in their transition from high school to college their GPA grades dropped .98 GPA points, while others only dropped .69 GPA points. They found a decline in the grade point average of students during the transition from high school to college. Results indicate that evening types had significantly lower first year. In my opinion it will be better if the teens doesn´t sleep until late thinking and advancing in some cases some work because that affects you a lot.
