Summary
Written by AI, not yet AICS's view · claude-haiku-4-5-20251001This study examined how sleep patterns relate to learning concentration in 75 Indonesian schoolchildren aged 7-12 years. Researchers found that 40% of children slept less than eight hours per night and most had irregular sleep habits. The study found a fairly strong positive correlation between regular sleep patterns and learning concentration, suggesting that adequate sleep is important for school performance.
Key points
- 40% of children in the sample slept less than eight hours per night
- Most children had irregular sleep patterns
- Most students displayed moderate learning concentration levels
- A fairly strong positive correlation was found between regular sleep patterns and learning concentration (r = 0.65, p < 0.05)
- The study recommends parents and schools work together to promote healthy sleep habits
Limitations
This was a correlational study without intervention or comparison groups, so it cannot show whether improving sleep would cause improved concentration or whether other factors influence both. The study was conducted at a single school in Indonesia, limiting generalisability.
Abstract
Low learning concentration in children is often linked to irregular sleep habits, such as going to bed late or experiencing sleep disturbances, which can reduce sleep quality and affect classroom performance. This study aimed to examine the relationship between sleep patterns and learning concentration among students. A quantitative correlational approach was used with a sample of 75 students from Grades 2–6 at SD Negeri 37 Anduring Padang, selected randomly. Data were collected through sleep pattern questionnaires and classroom observation of learning concentration, then analyzed using Pearson correlation. The results showed that most children had irregular sleep patterns, with 40% sleeping less than eight hours per night, while_toggle The majority of students displayed moderate learning concentration levels. Statistical analysis revealed a fairly strong positive relationship between regular sleep patterns and learning concentration (r = 0.65, p < 0.05). These findings suggest that adequate and consistent sleep plays an important role in improving children’s learning concentration. Therefore, parents and schools should work together to promote healthy sleep habits to support optimal learning outcomes in children aged 7–12 years.
