Get enough sleep from "summary" of Study Smart by Karen Tui Boyes
In order to perform at your best academically, it is essential to ensure that your body and mind are well rested. Sleep plays a crucial role in our ability to learn, retain information, and problem solve effectively. When we are sleep deprived, our cognitive functions are impaired, making it more difficult to concentrate, focus, and think critically.
Research has shown that students who get an adequate amount of sleep each night tend to perform better in school compared to those who are chronically sleep deprived. This is because sleep is when our brains consolidate new information and strengthen neural connections, which are essential processes for learning and memory retention.
It is recommended that teenagers aim for 8-10 hours of sleep per night to support their overall well-being and academic performance. Establishing a consistent sleep routine, going to bed and waking up at the same time each day, can help regulate your body's internal clock and improve the quality of your sleep.
Creating a sleep-friendly environment is also important for ensuring a restful night's sleep. Keep your bedroom dark, quiet, and cool, and avoid using electronic devices before bedtime, as the blue light emitted from screens can disrupt your ability to fall asleep.
Prioritizing sleep may require making some changes to your daily schedule, but the benefits of getting enough rest far outweigh the costs. By taking care of your body and mind through adequate sleep, you are setting yourself up for success in your academic endeavors and beyond.
