Research: What is a more effective way to study? More studying or more sleep?

What is more effective?
Studying more hours with less sleep or less studying with more hours of
sleep.

I’d look for students who have similar GPA’s and do not have
any disorders that could affect their sleeping or studying.

I’d perform experimental research.  I would have one group of students study certain material all
night without sleep and I would have the other group study the material briefly
and have more sleep before the test.
Then the same test would be given to both groups.  Then I would look at the results to
determine which group did better on their tests.

If possible I’d perform the test in a classroom, where
hopefully the students do not spend most of their classes in.

The amount of sleep would be manipulated between the two
groups so that would be my independent variable.  My dependent variable would be what groups studying techniques is
more effective based on the results of the test.

My hypothesis is that those who study less and sleep more
would do better.  When you are tired you
cannot concentrate as well and will not feel as well as those who are better
rested.

I think all students could gain from this study.  We will learn the more effective ways to
study and in turn should be able to get better grades.

My reflection of designing this experiment was probably as
difficult as I thought it would be.  I
did not think it would be too difficult as long as I could come up with an
idea.  Once I had an idea to do a
research experiment on I did not find it that difficult.
