Sleep quality is an essential and critical process for improving one's quality of life and well-being that profoundly affects everyday activities. Academic performance also plays an essential role in students' lives. The aim of this study is to determine if there is a correlation between sleep quality and academic performance of Senior High School students (Grades 11 and 12) in De La Salle University - Integrated School Manila. This research also serves to identify which factors have a significant impact on the sleep quality of Senior High School students and if there are any significant differences between the subpopulations of DLSU’s Senior High School level. The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) was used to measure sleep quality, while the students’ term one general average of academic year 2021 - 2022 was the basis for academic performance. Additional questions regarding possible sleep factors that could have had an effect on the population’s sleep quality were also included in the questionnaire. A total of 151 responses were collected and showed that the population generally had poor sleep quality with an average global PSQI score of 6.95. With the use of T-test, only 1 out of 10 factors, exercising before bed, showed significance. No significant difference was also found when ANOVA was used to examine the sleep quality of the different academic strands and levels of aircon usage. Lastly, correlation analysis showed that there was no correlation between the general average of the respondents and their PSQI scores.
