Results: We calculated the correlations between employment status (part time, full time, not
working), sleep, sleep amount, stress for school work, procrastination and motivation.
● We found a somewhat significant positive correlation between employment status (part
time and full time) and hours slept. Students who had a part time or full time job still
managed to get somewhat adequate sleep.
● There was a somewhat significant positive correlation between hours slept and stress
when it came to school work. Students managed to get adequate sleep but still felt
stressed when it came to school work.
● There was a strong positive correlation between feeling overwhelmed by school work and
performing poor on school work when stressed. This means that students who felt
overwhelmed by school work performed poorly on school work.
