Brain Rule #7 Your Brain Cannot Function Without Sleep

This brain rule is also known as Sleep Well, Think Well

I am focusing mainly on how does sleep could effect our grades

My hypothesis is that if people get the same amount of sleep, as they do get of learning a day. Then their grades could reflect on the amount of sleep they receive daily.

Long Term Memory takes place in our temporal lobe. Memory storage happens back and forth from the hippocampus to the cortex. Long Term Memory is based on the repeat to remember phrase. While we are sleeping thats where most of our repeat to remember process is happening.

What is the average amount of sleep we are suppose to endure each night? How much sleep do you get on an average school night? Does the amount of sleep you get a night affect your ways of learning? Do you think that the amount of sleep you get affects your grades at all?

The brain rule says Sleep Well, Think Well. What its really trying to say is that sleep is unbelievably important to learning John Medina

If a student gets 6-8 hours of learning on an average school day and only gets about 4hours of sleep that night, where would the 2-4 hours of learning left go? Since John Medina stated that True in humans- when we learn something we will replay it over and over in our heads at night In this video clip John Medina explains how, Sleep Loss=Brain loss. If you recruited something for a long term storage and you want to remember it, that begins the night you have learned it To tie back to my question, with these quotes by John Medina being said in this video, I feel that if we dont get the equal amount of sleep as we do of learning on an average day then we will have a harder time keeping the information in our memory. To me, this means that itd be harder to keep up with your grades without the right amount of sleep.
