As a student, sleeping is something we will rather not be
caught doing. Sleeping portrays you as weak, unserious, and downright lazy.
However, modern research points to the contrary. Here we highlight 3 major benefits
of sleep to a student:
1. It Gives Your Memory a Boost : the hustle and bustle of a student’s life
leaves no much room for the brain to form long term memories. Now, when we
sleep, our brain doesn’t instead it uses this down time to organize and file
away important information’s acquired during the day.So, just after reading,
the best thing to do is to take a short nap, so as to allow your brain solidify
the information
2. Clears Your Mind: have you ever observed how
fresh you are mentally after a short nap or a good night rest? This is because
during sleep, hormones that aid relaxation are released into the body. Now
combine this with the fact that the brain uses this time to clear out mental
clutter and the result is a clear head. So
why not read that difficult subject immediately after waking up from sleep?
3.
Increases Attention Span: Your attention span
talks about the period of time you can wholly give to a given task or
assignment at hand. As a student your attention span is a ‘muscle’ you have to
train, and sleeping is a good way to achieve this. That is why lecture
co-ordinators normally schedule demanding subjects like mathematics between the
hours of 8 and 11am. As a student you can take advantage of this immense
benefit of sleep, by also scheduling your reading to fall within 30 mins of waking
up, and see wonders.
