Part 5/7:
The effects of sleep on academic performance are profound. The study found that students averaging just 6.5 hours of sleep per night exhibited grades 50% lower than those who consistently received one additional hour. Furthermore, students whose sleep varied by as little as 30 minutes saw a 45% dip in their academic performance relative to their more consistent peers.
This highlights the importance of maintaining a consistent sleeping routine. Consistency aids comprehension and retention, promoting stronger academic outcomes regardless of total hours slept over the week.
