Question

what should be the premise there??

i can't start the background of my study just because of THAT premise!

what i min with the light preference is whether they turn off or turn on the lights when they sleep at night..

Answer 1

You're right, particularly because that's not a premise at all, but a question.

A premise, much like a hypothesis (which a premise of a study is usually in conjunction with), would be...

"Students, who have more irregular schedules (including later-hour bed times, waketimes that vary day to day, and more frequent mid-day naps) than both younger adolescents and working adults, are likely not to have a consistent preference for a specific lighting and a higher likelihood to report themselves able to sleep under a wide variety of lighting conditions."

Or you could set it on the premise that students, given the choice for a daytime nap, will choose a curtain that completely blocks out the light vs. one that only partially does, or any number of other premises for your study, setting up what you expect to happen, the circumstances of your study which will allow for it to happen (or not, should your hypothesis be disproved), etc.

The premise of your study is what you will go in to study, eventually proving or disproving your ultimate hypothesis (which your premise should either mirror or align with) and revealing something to you, the studier, about the subject at hand.

B B has got it down and I could not possibly add to that.
