The aim of this investigation was to see what effect sleep length has on the performance of a task, which involves a great deal of concentration. The results show that different kinds of sleep length has different effects on the scores participants achieved on the anagram test.
Having both a longer sleep length and average sleep length did increase the score on the anagram test compared to having a shorter sleep length. However, there was no significant difference in the scores achieved on the anagram test, between participants having a longer sleep length or average sleep length.
In hypothesis one, the effect of the two types of sleep length was evident. The difference in the scores achieved on the anagram test between both sleep conditions was the largest of the three sets of results. ... 35 clearly shows that those having a longer sleep length had a mean average of 12 points each more than those having a shorter sleep length. The hypothesis, that there will be a significant difference in the score on the anagram test depending whether participants had a long sleep length or a shorter sleep length the previous night, is accepted and the null hypothesis, that there will be no significant difference is rejected.
In hypothesis two, again the two types of sleep length was evident. ... 35 shows that having a average sleep length had a mean average of eleven points each more than those having a shorter sleep length. ... The alternate hypothesis that there will be a significant difference in the score on the anagram test depending whether participants had an average sleep length or a shorter sleep length the previous night is accepted and the null hypothesis, that there will be no significant difference is rejected.
