Sleep Habits and Your Memory
Tuesday February 27, 2007
Do you find it really hard to get up in the morning and then quarrel with your family because you're grumpy? Does your mom complain that you don't get enough sleep?
I'm afraid your mom is right again. There have been many studies to show that sleep deprivation can affect your grades in a bad way. But there are also studies to show that good sleep habits actually improve your ability to remember the things you study.
For example, one particular study shows that the things you study right before going to bed become "cemented" in your brain as you sleep. This process of study-then-sleep makes the memory strong and clear in your mind. If you're not getting 8 hours of sleep at night and you're struggling in class, you may want to read over these facts and tips about sleep deprivation and teens. Just think--your grades may improve and your family may be much happier at the breakfast table.

Good memory tip. With no sensory interference during sleep, experts believe that the brain proceeds to organize and revise the day’s information, and works on “storing” it into memory. 7 to 9 hours of sleep is critical for healthy memory.

Apologize for the duplicate comment; the first one didn’t show up for some reason, and then both showed up at the same time. Must be my browser. Feel free to get rid of one if need be. Thanks!
