Getting enough sleep is vital to students' academic performance.
Sleep loss leads to learning and memory impairment, as well as decreased attention and vigilance.
The sleep state allows your brain to take in new information more fully and to better synthesize new experiences.
As you sleep, your brain organizes and correlates memories, which increases your understanding and retention.
