Abstract

Sleep is an important part of our biology as living beings, since during this activity several processes are carried out within our body that help us maintain physical and mental conditions in an optimal state. The purpose of the study presented is to identify the relationship between daytime sleepiness, due to no, through the Epworth test, and the variable low academic performance, through the grades obtained by the students in the sample (n=179). A ratio greater than 1 was found between the probability of having high sleepiness and low performance (OR=1.85; p=0.001). A mathematical function was also identified that measures the sleep cycle that a person reached, in addition to They give advice to the students to improve their rest.
