The study is conducted through a qualitative research approach based on previous literature review. The previous study showed issues on the decreased of academic performance of architecture students in Malaysia whereby a lot of architecture students have difficulty in completing their studio tasks assigned by their lecturers. Besides that, the study found internal and external factors involving emotions will lead to a situation in which students 'stuck' and blank. Furthermore, the factors that affect the academic performance of the architecture students in Malaysia are student's inadequate sleep and irregular sleep schedule. The architecture students are also prone to problems related to numbness in areas of their hand due to awkward positions while doing their work. Lastly, the architecture students tend to face their PC or laptop screen working on assignments or projects until midnight skipping dinner or other responsibilities. This negligent practice may negatively affect their academic performance.
