Studies show lack of sleep decreases concentration, lowers attention spans, causes forgetfulness, and slows reaction time. Students tend to make more errors with less sleep and this has a direct impact on test scores and grades. Our brains are affected by the amount of sleep we get and the less sleep we get the less it works. It’s just common sense. The more sleep a person gets, the better they will function. The skills we need to use for math and languages are in the part of the brain that is very sensitive to inadequate sleep. No matter how interesting a teacher is making their early morning class, most students will be too sleepy to remember or understand what was just said. Studies have shown by delaying the school day by just 15 minutes students reported getting better grades compared to the schools that started
