Sleep is important for learning
Getting plenty of sleep will help children concentrate in the classroom.
"Missing sleep causes most of the day's experiences to be stored inefficiently
in the brain," said Dr. Bruce Perry, a child psychiatrist at Baylor College
of Medicine in Houston. "Interactions with teachers, book chapters and
lectures are harder to remember if a child is sleep deprived," he said.
Perry adds that students should study a little bit at a time, instead
of cramming for tests. Resting for a while after studying will help them
process the information properly in the brain.
