Sleep and academic performance: considering amount, quality and timing
Abstract
Evidence has shown that sleep plays a key role in cognitive functioning, and here the specific importance for memory consolidation in the context of academic performance is discussed. As school years are also a turning point into defining one’s chronotype and general sleep habits, it is vital that schools and universities offer a flexible structure for students to be able to develop healthy sleep practices allowing for the very much needed space for memory consolidation.
