Abstract : This study explores the critical relationship between sleep habits and academic performance among Grade 3 learners. With a sample of 100 students, a descriptive correlational research design was employed to investigate various dimensions of sleep habits, including sleep duration, quality, onset latency, efficiency, and continuity. The results revealed that Grade 3 learners exhibited very extensive sleep habits, particularly in terms of sleep duration and quality. Moreover, the study identified specific sleep habit indicators, such as sleep efficiency and continuity, which significantly influenced academic performance. Notably, a significant positive correlation (R = 0.709) between sleep habits and academic performance was observed, underscoring the pivotal role of sleep in students' educational achievements. This study underscores the critical influence of specific sleep habit indicators, particularly sleep efficiency and continuity, on academic performance, highlighting the undeniable significance of sleep in the educational achievements of students. These findings provide valuable insights for educators, parents, and policymakers, emphasizing the need to prioritize strategies that promote healthy sleep habits among young learners. By integrating sleep education into the curriculum and fostering a conducive sleep environment, stakeholders can contribute to enhancing both the well-being and academic success of Grade 3 learners.

Keywords : Sleep Habits, Academic Performance, Grade 3 Learners, Educational Outcomes, Sleep Duration, Sleep Quality, Sleep Efficiency, Sleep Continuity.
