There has been research done in the UK to examine the effects of regular sleep on student behaviour and success.  This next piece will not surprise any parent or even university student.

It was discovered that students who had regular bed times and sufficient number of hours of sleep each night, did better in school - in both areas of behaviour and school work. The research looked not only at students behaviour and school work before the research started, but also after wards.  Those students who were having difficulty with behaviour / school work, were put on a regular bed time schedule. Within days the students' behaviour, ability to stay focused and school work improved.

As a teacher with more then 30 years teaching , a mother of four, and someone who has university degrees, the results are not surprising at all.  If you do not have enough sleep your body can not work as well as you need it to.

What scares me is that thought that we actually had to have this research done, to prove something that any parent already knew. 

Good night, have a good nights sleep.
