Sleep critical for study
Students ofall ages may be miss
ing a key ingredient to good grades-
-adequate sleep
"Sleep is probably the most im
portant period o f the day for process
ing new information," said Dr. Bruce
D. Perry.achild psychiatrist at Baylor
College of Medicine in Houston
Missing sleep. Perry says, causes
most o f the day’s experiences to be
stored inefficiently in the brain. Lec
tures heard, chapters read, interac
tions with teachers are harder to
remember if the brain is sleep de
prived.
" Rather than cramming informa-
tion for a test, students are better off
studying in smaller chunks and get
ting enough rest to process the infor
mation properly,” he said "Other
wise, you end up storing the informa
tion in short-term memory and for
getting it in a few weeks."
Sleep is critical for young students
as well. “Children have many new
concepts to learn in school," he said.
"A good night's sleep not only lets
them process what they learned but
also helps them be alert in class."
Students who are sleep derived
tend to be more irritable and have
difficulty concentrating.
Perry feels that parents often un
derestimate the importance ofsleep
"Children are kept so busy with
after-school and evening activities
that sleep gets short-changed," he
said. "This lack o f adequate sleep
robs chi Idren o f some o f their learn
ing potential.”
Perry recommends at least eight
hours ofsleep for adults and 10 or
more hours ofsleep for children.
"Sleep helps the brain organize
new information, so literally, in the
morning you wake up smarter than
you were when you went to bed," he
said.
