Abstract
This research purpose is to
components which include the General Productivity, Social Outcomes, Activity Level and Vigilance that has been labelled as Component 1, Component 2, Component 3 and Component 4 respectively.
Firstly, articles related to sleep quality and factors affecting sleep quality were studied and reviewed.
Next, random sampling method is used to collect data from a group of 35 students that aged approximately around 17 years old. They were required to answer the Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ) which had been distributed and their data will be verified using the total of percentage that is calculated in each component. Thus, the results obtained in the study has recorded the total of 56.79% for Component 1, 65.71% for Component 2, 63.33% for Component 3 and 79.59% for Component 4. Based on the results, the profiling of Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire shown that Component 4 which is the Vigilance recorded the highest percentage while Component 1 which is General Productivity recorded the lowest percentage whereas the higher the percentage, the lesser the component was affected by poor sleep quality reception. This concludes that the general productivity of a student was the most affected due to poor sleep quality reception while the vigilance of the student was the least affected.

INTRODUCTION
ed due to many different reasons. One important yet underestimate cause for that is sleep loss (National Sleep Foundation, 2007). The need for sleep varies considerably between individuals (Shneerson, 2000).
For teenagers, the average sleep length is between 7 and 8.5 hours per day (Kripke et al. 2002; Carskadon and Dement 2005; Kronholm et al. 2006). Nevertheless, study hours are constantly increasing along with emphasis on active leisure. Meanwhile in certain times, students would likely to face sleep restriction in order to fulfil their obligated tasks. Students also tend to stretch their capacity and compromise their nightly sleep, thus becoming sleep deprived. This negative routine usually leads to the encouragement of poor sleep quality between the students and thus affecting their routine on daily basis. Meanwhile, a verse in the Quran had emphasize on the
importance of quality sleep by using Sinah ; No
slumber (Sinah) can seize Him nor sleep This word has been defined s prompt arousal following environmental stimulation. This may correspond to stage 1 sleep identified by modern sleep scientists. In the Quran, sleep implies a manifestation of

or doze off, His creations, including mankind, need sleep every day. Thus, this research has aimed to profile the sleepW quality between Kolej GENIUS Insan students in order to investigate the quality of sleep obtained by the students thus providing results that can be used as reference for further research purposes.
MATERIALS AND METHODS Sampling subject
35 students were chosen randomly from students that aged approximately around 17 years old. Students that aged 17 years old were chosen because they tend to have the higher probability of having poor sleep quality due to the involvement in sleep deprivation based on their packed schedule.
Reviewing Questionnaire Reliability
A few questionnaires that were related with measurement of sleep quality were chosen that passed the minimum requirements of reliability were scoped out to be used.
Functional Outcomes of Sleep Questionnaire (FOSQ) has been chosen as the most suitable instrument for this research. The reliability of this instrument was proven based on the psychometric properties of the FOSQ.tr that suggest it is a valid and reliable instrument for the assessment of the impact of disorders of excessive sleepiness on daily behaviour (Bilgay Izci, O. Köktürk, E.
Gelir, Meltem Altinörs 2004). The reliability of this questionnaire also exceeded the standard proposed for the performance of individual comparisons with a Cron-bach alpha > 0.9 (Jorge Rey de Castro, Edmundo-Rosales Mayor, Terri E. Weaver 2018).
Distribution of Questionnaire
The link for the questionnaire that is modified in Google Forms were distributed via Telegram to the students on November 5th 2020. A number of 35 responses were recorded and the results were transferred to Google Excel for percentage calculation.
Calculating Data Percentage and Analysing
Total data from each components were summed up and the percentage of the data was calculated.
The calculation of data percentage could be done by the following equation:
Sum of data in each component X 100
4 x (Total questions in each component) x (Number of students)

DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
Based on the results, the percentage of Vigilance Component of the students were recorded as the highest while the percentage for the General Productivity Component was recorded as the lowest. This proves that the vigilance of the students was the least affected due to the reception of poor sleep quality and that the general productivity of a student is the most affected due to the poor sleep quality reception. Overall, the four components still recorded almost half of the full percentage and brings a meaning that productivity. Therefore, emphasizing the importance of getting quality sleep is very needed as it will help in increasing
performance on daily. The more quality the sleep received by each student, the higher the percentage in the outcomes of the four components thus, the higher the rate of overall productivity. Last but not least, the effort that has been contributed in the profiling of this research is sincerely hoped to be useful for further research purposes in the future.
