Analysis: Being A Night Owl In High School Is Linked With Lower College GPA

ScienceDaily researched about GPA results of students from high-school to college, and the time they sleep. The study 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. Evening types also slept 41 minutes less than other students on school days. I think that one should homework once they arrive home, because if not you could risk forgetting the homework or doing poorly on it is also a good idea to do work ahead of time.
