sleepiness interferes with daily
functions like: work performance,
relationships and grades.

concentrate and results in more errors
in work.
Pulling an all-night cram session can
sometimes do more harm than good
on your next day exams!.
You tend to not remember anything
from the night you studied and also
"wiped out" for the next few days.

frequent waking.

Tip
s Always use common sense. If you have
a test the next day, partying the night
before and not getting enough sleep is
never a good idea.
Using sleep medications without a
doctor's recommendation is ill-advised
and may do more harm than good.
Taking a "Power Nap", a 20-30 minute
nap during the day, can be very
beneficial. It can put you in a better
mood. It can refresh you. You may feel
sharper and able to concentrate better.
However, sleeping more than 80
minutes can hurt your sleeping
schedule so WATCH OUT!
GOOD LUCK and
SLEEP TIGHT!!
