Cramming vs. Restful Sleep
Hard
Are you a crammer or a sleeper? Find out which is more important for academic success in this science project! You'll compare the academic performance of students who cram for completion of an assignment and those who get restful sleep.
Hypothesis
The hypothesis is that both study and sleep are needed for successful academic performance.
Method & Materials
You will identify participants for the experiment, collect data over a period of three months, and enter the information into a spreadsheet program.
You will need a minimum of 30 students and a spreadsheet program such as Microsoft Excel or Google docs.
Results
The results of this experiment showed that both study and sleep are needed for successful academic performance. The data showed that students who got a full night's sleep before an exam or assignment performed better than those who stayed up late to cram.
Why do this project?
This science project is interesting because it shows that both study and sleep are important for academic success.
Also Consider
Variations of this experiment could include comparing the academic performance of students who study for a few hours each day versus those who cram, or comparing the academic performance of students who get 8 hours of sleep versus those who get 6 hours of sleep.
