Abstract This study investigates the impact of sleep deprivation on the academic performance, mental health, and physical health of students aged 15 to 24. It also evaluates the effectiveness of an educational intervention designed to promote better sleep hygiene. For six months, 750 students from various high schools, colleges, and universities participated in this prospective interventional study. Participants completed questionnaires assessing their health outcomes, academic achievement, and sleep quality both before and after the intervention. An instructional session on proper sleep hygiene was conducted, and the results were analyzed. Forty-seven percent of participants reported that sleep deprivation negatively affected their academic performance, with the areas most impacted being memory, focus, and mood. Additionally, 38.27 percent of the participants experienced physical health issues, such as exhaustion and compromised immunity. After the intervention, academic performance improved by 15%, and awareness and adoption of good sleep hygiene practices increased by 25%. Inadequate sleep significantly affects the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of young people. By encouraging better sleep habits, educational interventions can help mitigate these negative effects and enhance both academic performance and overall well-being.
