Adolescence is a crucial stage for growth and development thus optimal nutrition must be achieved to support this transition. Failure to achieve adequate nutrition may contribute to physical, mental, and cognitive growth impairment. Similarly, sleep plays an important role in an individual’s health and overall wellness. Several Factorsfactors may influence sleep quality, including the type of beverage intake. This study was conducted to describe the association between the consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages (SSB) and sleep patterns among the Senior High School Students of SHSI. Data were gathered online via Google Forms. The adopted Beverage Intake questionnaire, Cleveland Sleepiness Questionnaire and Demographic Profile Questionnaire were used to determine the SSB consumption and sleeping pattern of the students. . The results were analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency and percentage) and the Pearson correlation statistical test. A weak positive correlation between sleeping patterns and SSB consumption was observed among SHS students. Results revealed that as the SSB consumption increases, the total duration of sleep decreases, and the total sleepiness score (quality) increases. Although the study presented a weak positive correlation, the significance of relationship between these variables cannot be concluded. In addition, other factors such as medicine intake, use of electronic devices, and stress, may have also contributed to the irregularity of sleeping patterns. The study also showed an expression of a weak positive correlation between BMI and SSB consumption, as well as BMI and sleeping pattern.
