Students will collaborate in small groups to formulate precise and investigable questions regarding the impact of REM sleep on academic performance, ensuring questions are aligned with the project's essential question and can guide their future research and survey design.

Students will collaborate to design precise survey tools and sleep tracking methodologies, utilizing peer feedback to refine their research plans for effective data collection and clarity.

Students will collaboratively conduct surveys and interviews to gather anonymized sleep pattern and academic performance data from their peers, utilizing systematic data collection tools to ensure transparency and reproducibility of results.

Students will analyze the collected sleep and GPA data using statistical software, identify patterns or correlations, discuss potential implications for academic performance and well-being, and prepare insights for peer review ahead of the Sleep Symposium.

Students will synthesize their research data and findings, present conclusive insights on the relationship between REM sleep and academic performance, and acknowledge the limitations of their study while proposing potential areas for further research.
