A new study out of Harvard shows that getting on a regular sleep routine results in better performance.
61 students were monitored over a 30-day period.
Students who kept regular sleep routines (same bed time and same wake up time daily) had marked improvement in their grades.
Here are the general findings:
1) You can sleep until 10am (or whatever time you like). You don't have to wake up at 6am after all.
2) Get on a regular sleep schedule. Same bed time and wake up time daily.
3) Sleeping irregular hours can make you fat.
Concentrate on getting on some kind of sleep routine: your kids, teens, and YOU too!
During school closures and isolation, I'm going to ask my own teenagers to establish a sleep routine that suits them, and allows them to meet their academic responsibilities...
(and I will supervise quietly from the sidelines) :)
