Role of sleep in memory development
Every night matters!
Acquisition
What your child learns during the day, gets transferred to long-term memory ONLY during sleep.
Consolidation
Amalgamation of old and new information forming new insights also happens ONLY in sleep.
Recall
Recovery of information from long-term to short-term memory is ALSO enhanced with GOOD sleep
scientific study on sleep & academic performance
One of the most iconic research done in the field of sleep was at the University of Minnesota, back in 2009, where they studied the sleep patterns & academic performance of over 43,000 students.
The results were astounding. Students who consistently adhered to a good sleep hygiene had better grades, than those with poor sleep hygiene.
