Abstract

Education is a growing area of study in the area of economics and it is often difficult to find objective answers to the questions and problems that educators and policy makers face each day. For my research, I used economic theory to try and determine if there is a causal relationship between sleep and academic achievement for students between the ages 5 and 18 and to see if that relationship is significant.
