31.0 IntroductionQuality sleep is significant for the wellbeing of the body and brain of a human being. Inrecent years, the increasing number of sleeping disorders among individuals especially collegeand university students have been recorded. Sleep is important for the body well-functioning,cardiac rest and brain rejuvenation (Dattillo et al. 2011). Sleeping disorders in universities arebelieved to be caused by high usage of internet in watching videos, engaging in social media andplaying of video games. Moreover, poor study time management plans and life standards such aslate night parties and entertainment are causing sleeping problems to the university students. Thisresearch will focus on the impacts of sleeping problems to university students because thesecases are increasing and their consequences are felt on academic performance, social, physicaland psychological of the students. The selected research papers that explain the causes andeffects of sleeping problems to university students are; Satti et al. (2015): “The Prevalence ofSleep Problems and its Impact on Sleep Quality and Academic Performance”. Merit ResearchJournal of Education and Review and Altun, Insaf et al: “The contributing factors to poor sleepexperiences in according to the university students: A cross-sectional study.” Journal of researchin medical sciences. The two articles have used quantitative analysis in the methodology byapplying to use of questionnaires to achieve their objectives. In handling of this paper, I will start by summarizing the two selected peer reviewedarticles. Secondly, I will analyze in details the weaknesses and strengths of the researchesdeveloped in the peer reviewed articles on the basis of their literature review, population samplesand how they have addressed the research questions that I developed. Consequently, I will assessthe impacts of this research, conclusion and reflection on the review process. Finally, I willacknowledge the sources I have used in the development of this critique.
42.0 My Personal PositionAs stated in the previous section, both selected research papers analyze the effect ofsleeping problems on university students. Although the research papers differ in context, forinstance Satti et al (2015) focuses on female medical university students in Saudi Arabia whileAltun, Cinar and Dede (2012) focuses on random in-class survey in universities in Turkey, bothpapers tries to answer the questions; what are contributing factors for poor sleeping patternsamong university students? And what are the effects of poor sleeping patterns to universitystudents?The position that I will take is interpretivism. As a university student, I have in depthexperience of sleeping problems and therefore am in better position to explain and answer theresearch questions. I will also use my position and knowledge acquired from other relevantsources to integrate the research. The position provides a better position to understand thisresearch and to deliver a comprehensive report on the findings. Furthermore, in the university Istay in the student hostels and I interact with students in classes, field, parties and in sleepingplaces and through observation and relation, I have a good concept on the causes and effects ofpoor sleeping patterns on the students.From the selected research papers, my focus is to understand the contributing factors ofsleeping problems amid university students and the impacts of these problems on the students. Inorder to evaluate whether the knowledge obtained from the peer reviewed articles can be used asa baseline reference by larger population, I would consider if the researches are founded onadequate literature review about the topics, if the population samples used by the researchershave the capability of providing adequate, credible and reliable information on the subject underresearch and also if the researches have provided an in depth understanding and assessment ofthe research questions I have developed as a framework for this critique. Then, from my position,
