Learning Challenge: Sleep
Why Sleeping May Be More Important Than Studying
Several of my professors have mentioned something like this at some point in time, but seeing it in an article format makes sense. I would never have guessed the impact that sleep can have on our lives. Sacrificing sleep to learn would mean that you aren't at your sharpest. You wouldn't be able to really learn the material or process it at a later date. Because you didn't get a good night's sleep, not clearing out the synaptic connections, you will be unable to learn further! It makes sense! I don't really stay up late to study thankfully. I like to do all of my work in the morning or early afternoon, but I know some people who wold benefit from knowing this information!
My current sleep routine is fine. I go to bed around the same time everyday, around 10, and I get up at 8 in the morning everyday. It's all fairly consistent. If I don't have school, I have a morning shift, which I like more than the afternoon. Though I like sleeping in, I get enough rest, or at least I feel like I do. The regular schedule helps keep things fairly regulated for me as well. I used to do what was described in the article and stay up late to do work and found myself struggling a lot. I'm glad I have it mostly worked out at the moment!
