Education vs. Health

It’s something students think about a lot. Is the education worth all the stress we go through? Due to the homework and other work that we receive from professors, most students sleep less than 8 hours on average (less than the recommended amount). I would like to conduct a study on how much a student’s health is affected by school.

I believe a correlational study would be best suited for this type of experiment because it goes against standard ethics to control a human’s life style. A simple case study or survey would be used to gather information about this interesting subject. The things I would observe would be a person’s health, which would include factors such as amount of times in the hospital, amount of times sick, amount of hours per week spent studying, etc. The correlation would be between the the amount of times sick or in the hospital against the amount of hours spent studying. I would also focus on the amount of time spent sleeping as well.

I hypothesize that people who spend less time studying will experience less health issues because not only does studying reduce your hours of sleep, but also causes stress.

However, while conducting the experiment, some subjects might lie in their case studies or surveys. So the results might be false.
