If you want to succeed, sleep!
According to American research, sleep problems in teenagers affect their academic results. So the authors are trying to hammer home a preventive message. And to recommend a few common-sense practices before entering the Land of Nod.
Pr James F. Pagel (University of Colorado) analysed questionnaires addressed to university and secondary school students about the quality of their sleep and their academic results. The pupils who had the lowest marks also showed a combination of signs of poor quality sleep: lack of concentration, sleepiness during the day, problems waking up, etc.
The author goes on to advise these young people to follow certain steps to ensure healthy sleeping patterns that are synonymous with academic success. It’s quite simple, in fact: simply avoid consuming stimulants in the evening, such as caffeine. It’s better to eat a light dinner rather than a heavy meal before going to bed. Do not work late into the night when revising for examinations. All a matter of common sense, in fact.
