Abstract: This study analyzed the relationship between circadian rhythm disruptions and the academic performance of students enrolled in accountancy and accounting information systems programs through the use of the Social Jet Lag Theory in discussing the discrepancy between students’ natural sleep preferences and academic responsibilities. It emphasized the significance of circadian rhythms in managing physiological and behavioral processes, highlighting the effect that disruptions caused by factors such as academic stress, rigid class schedules, and lifestyle choices have on cognitive processes that are critical to learning. Using a correlational study design, the researchers gathered information from students enrolled in the BSA and BSAIS programs by distributing surveys. These questionnaires collected data on academic performance, sleeping patterns, and factors of circadian disruptions. The findings revealed that the disruption of circadian rhythm has a significant correlation with lower academic performance, particularly in classroom attendance and classroom engagement. Students adopting strategies including mental relaxation, consistent sleep schedule, and limitation of stimulant intake showed better management of their circadian disruption, emphasizing the importance of practical measures to enhance both academic success and overall well-being.
