Some students think that staying up late before a test improves their results. But studies show the opposite. During sleep, the brain arranges the facts we learned in the day. It moves them from short-term memory to long-term memory. If a person sleeps only a few hours, his focus becomes weak, his reactions become slow and he forgets more. An adult usually needs seven or eight hours each night. A child needs more than that. For this reason, experts advise students to review lessons early and then get enough sleep. They should not depend on one tiring night. Sleep is a part of learning, not wasted time.

  1. Children sleep more than adults

  3. The brain stops working during sleep
  4. Enough sleep helps learning more than staying up late
Show answer

Correct answer: Enough sleep helps learning more than staying up late
