Sleep is Crucial to Cognitive Function, Academic Performance, and General Well-being. In this study, the sleeping habits of undergraduate students and their effects on academic performance were examined. Data from undergraduate students of different colleges were collected through a questionnaire that addressed sleeping duration, bedtime routines, academic performance, and the perceived influence of sleep on study effectiveness. The study reveals that a significant proportion of student sleeps less than the recommended 7–8 hours nightly, with most of them going to bed after 11 PM. There was a high correlation between inadequate sleep and greater difficulty in waking up, feeling tired during lectures, resulting in reduced attentiveness in the classroom, and poorer perceived academic performance. Moreover, the students who reported getting an adequate amount of sleep scored higher GPAs and demonstrated improved time management of assignments and class participation. The study emphasizes the role of sleep hygiene in academic performance and stress management. It stresses the necessity of awareness programs, which will enable students to learn about the advantages of healthy sleeping habits to enhance their academic performance and overall well- being.
