Imagine you are writing your conclusion for an article. Which sentence would you choose?

The results showed that the students lacked sleep hours. Nevertheless, it is unclear if other factors also affected the test scores.

The four female students who shared their narratives mentioned a lack of sleep due to an increase in house chores, which is connected to a woman's social gender roles.

All of the students began their stories by telling me that they had a good night's sleep. During the classroom activities, it was interesting for me to see that a good night's sleep could range from 4 to 9 hours depending on the student.

Together, we created a group called "Sleep for More", in which the participants wrote lullabies in their native languages to help sleep-deprived community members.

The concept of sleep, according to the students, is ever-changing. For some, sleep was separated into several hourly compartments of naps during the day. For others, sleep could mean 6 to 8 hours of rest at night.

The results concurred with the initial hypothesis, which was that students lacked more than 6 hours of sleep a night.
