Sleeping to Learn, Learning to Sleep

Reflection: Write a reflection about your Sleep & Learning PSA on your blog


1. How does sleep effect your learning? 
When your body is sleeping at night, truly your brain is still working. It organizes the things that you learned and experienced during the day. And it sorts out useless things and makes you remember the important information. 

2. How much sleep do you get each night? Do you think this is enough? Do you feel tired in the morning?
I sleep 7 hours or less which is not good, I know. The only problem is when I get home I try to do all my homeworks at once, but also do the things I want to do, and spend time with my family and it gets really late when I go to bed. Then on the morning I need to wake up at 6:30 or 7:00 so I can get to my morning classes on time (which mostly I fail because I can't get out of bed --> probably because I'm not getting enough sleep). During my early morning classes I feel extremely tired, especially when I start with calculus (actually College Now makes me want to sleep the most). It's kind of like a car's engine. Early morning my brain doesn't want to start, but as I force it more and more on calculus, eventually it will start to work for the first-second period, but then it's too late. 

3. Will you change what you do after reading about sleep and learning? Why or why not?
I will try my best to sleep at least 8 hours. Even an adult has to sleep 8 hours, not 7 or less. And I know enough sleep is just for my benefit and I need my brain to work on the early mornings too. Also if you sleep enough, you are probably healthier, or at least that's what my Mom tries to tell me so I'll listen to her and I will sleep more.
