Evaluating the Correlation Between Daily Routines and Academic Performance, Perceived Productivity, and Sleep Quality

Evaluating the Correlation Between Daily Routines and Academic Performance, Perceived Productivity, and Sleep Quality

This research study used a quantitative, cross-sectional survey design to examine the correlation between daily routine types (rigid, loose, or no routine) and academic performance, perceived productivity/time management, and sleep quality among college students. The study also considered potential moderating factors such as student-athlete status, major, enrollment status, employment status, and living situation. 70 undergraduate college students aged 18 and older from Springfield College were recruited through email and word of mouth. Inclusion criteria required participants to be currently enrolled undergraduate students at Springfield College, with no specific exclusion criteria beyond age and enrollment status. Data was collected through an online survey, where findings from this study were used to provide insight into how routine structure influenced academic success, time management, and sleep quality among college students.
