We worked under a post-positivist paradigm with a quantitative approach, non-experimental cross-sectional design, descriptive and correlational scope. The sample was 254 students aged between 12 and 17 years to whom the Academic Stress Inventory (SISCO) and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale for Children and Adolescents (ESS-CHAD) were administered. Non-probabilistic convenience sampling was carried out with the inclusion criteria of obtaining an affirmative answer in the filter question of the SISCO test. Among the main results, it was found that 52.8% present moderate academic stress and 85% abnormal sleepiness; The correlation analysis with Spearman's Rho shows that there is a low significant correlation between sleepiness and the coping strategy dimension in adolescents; In the other dimensions there is no correlation.
