Sleep quality and duration are crucial for adolescent learners due to their impact on academic performance, cognitive function, mental health, and overall well-being. This quantitative study examined the relationship between sleeping routines and academic achievement in biology, chemistry, and physics among 66 Grade 10 learners in the science curriculum. Respondents’ sleep time, wake time, and number of sleep hours per day during a 5-month period were monitored, and results revealed that 97% of the respondents have inadequate sleeping habits. Students only sleep for an average of 6 hours and 18 minutes instead of 8 to 10 hours for people their age. Furthermore, regression models identified that both sleeping late and waking early have both positive and significant influences on their performance in biology and chemistry, and in biology and physics, respectively. This practice among students is alarming because compromising adequate sleep time for higher grades is not recommended since it can lead to negative effects on health, cognition, and behavior. Moreover, results support existing literature that indicates adequate sleep results in good school performance, as more sleep time is a positive predictor of better performance in chemistry and physics. Albeit the fact that there are several intrinsic factors and external influences that affect sleeping routines among adolescents, schools should help learners practice good study and sleeping habits, and efficient time management to avoid jeopardizing students’ well-being for the short-term goal of higher grades.
