SUU Festival of Excellence 2019

The survey was conducted to record variables known to affect students quality of sleep and measure possible correlations between sleep and performance. The variables that are being measured were chosen due to their relevance to sleep seen in modern research. The questions directed toward performance were chosen to measure statistical correlations of sleep to performance.
Inaccuracies are possible to occur due to the subjective nature of perceived experience. The survey method itself is known for being vulnerable as it must record this subjective experience. This may skew the data
Another possible danger is the time in which the survey is taken, as the possible results might change when taken in different times of day, week, month, and year.
The last risk is from abnormalities. Students with extreme temporary conditions, or those who are going through an unusual interruption in their sleep hold the threat of skewing the data.
Studies design: Our survey is geared toward Southern Utah University (SUU) college students between the ages of 17-24, but allows for students that are attending and are not within the specified age range so long as they are students of SUU. A number of college students will be surveyed. That data will be used to determine significant factors that affect the quality and quantity of sleep of SUU college students.
