Does more sleep result in better grades?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The\narticle, Sleeping More Leads to Better Grades <\/em>by Melissa Locker, discusses\nsleep and how it could improve the grades of our children. A lot of people go\nto school tired and sleepy because they stayed up all night on their electronic\ndevices or because they were studying for a test. One study suggests that getting\na better night\u2019s rest could improve the academic performance of students.\nResearchers believe that lying in bed and not being able to sleep are not good\nfor the body; and just make the body more tired. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Locker\ndiscusses certain points that makes a lot of sense to me. The article does\nsuggest that not getting enough sleep could result in poor academic\nperformance, I can both agree and disagree with this statement. In my past\nexperiences, my lack of sleep has both harmed and helped my grades. It just\ndepends on the subject in my opinion. In math my grade would get severely\naffected by my lack of sleep, but in English my grade would not suffer because\nI do my best writing at later times of night. While this article does cite many\nstudies on how not getting enough sleep is harmful, I think that it can also be\nhelpful to one\u2019s work ethic by increasing the person\u2019s drive to finish the work\nbefore they go to sleep. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Another\ntopic I agree with in this article is that some children do have certain sleep\nissues or problems that have either not been diagnosed or not been thought of\nas to why kids do not get that much sleep. One example of this from my life can\nbe how I believe that I have sleep insomnia. Every time I try to go to sleep\nearly, I just wake up at around three in the morning and can not fall back\nasleep after that. I try my best to go to sleep. I put on sad songs or slow\nsongs to slow my brain function down. I turn the lights off and do not use any\nelectronic devices. I also even drink a cold glass of milk, but none of these\nthings have worked. I still can not go to sleep early. So, from my experiences,\nI can whole heartedly agree with the statement that some kids may have sleep\nproblems. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Even\nthough this article does make some valid points, I do not believe that getting\nmore sleep helps at all. In fact, I believe that if one can get work done\nwithout sleep it shows just that person\u2019s mental toughness. If someone can stay\nup all night just to get their work done, then they deserve to be commended.\nEspecially with how lazy these new generations are getting. I remember a time\nwhere the only thing to do was to finish one\u2019s homework then the parents might\nlet their child go play outside, but only until the curb lights turned on then they\nhad to go back inside. Nowadays, kids have all this advanced technology and\ntheir homework is now done online just like everything else school related.\nThis makes the kids even more lazy and not active. I think that getting the\nkids more sleep might help in the long run, but for now I do not believe it is\nthat big of a concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To\nfinish, this article emphasizes certain ideas about sleep and children. One of\nthem is that not getting enough sleep could result in poor academic\nperformance. Another one is that some children may have certain sleeping\ndisorders that hinder their ability to sleep properly and for the correct\namount of time. And the last one is that getting more sleep will help the\nstudent focus more on schoolwork.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Works Cited Page<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kareem Ibrahim Mrs. Isenkul University 150 4 November 2019 Does more sleep result in better grades?
