Exams and the importance of sleeping well.

Sleep must be important because we spend 1/3 of our lives doing it! Loss of sleep hurts attention, working memory, mood, quantitative skills, logical reasoning, and even motor dexterity.
But is sleep really doing nothing? It looks like it...our eyes are closed, our muscles are relaxed, our breathing is regular, and we do not respond to sound or light. If you take a look at what is happening inside of your brain, however, you will find quite a different situation - the brain is very active. You are doing something!
It’s possible that the reason we need to sleep is so that we can learn better. Everything we have learnt is cemented while sleeping.
Therefore, now that your are having your final exams, it is very important for you to SLEEP WELL!

Miss Ale, I'm the first!
I agree wuth you because sometimes that I didn't slep that much, in school I was VERY tired, and when I arruved home I slep and I coulden't make any homework. When I woke up I said :" OMG, I have to do the homework, to studdy and to have a bath, and I lost Teen Angles". So in that moment I did't wanted to do anything but I had to do them, and that's what I think most of the people do!
Well lots of kisses, talking of that I have to do A LOT of Maths and Matematicas things! bye

Hello Miss Ale,
I think too that we have to sleep well and rest because we have to wake up very early in the mornig.
I wake up 6:45 but some children who live far away in Nordelta, have to wake up at 6:00! The worst day for me to sleep well is on Sundays because I go to my grandfathers house (that is FAR)and we get home at 10:00 and we have to take a bath and eat and all that, so on mondays, sometimes I am very tired
Now we have to sleep very well because we have all the final exams and we need to study and do some homework so we have to get a good sleep.
Bye

Hello miss ale,
I agree that if we don't sleep well we wake up in a bad mood. To me it happens regulary. Yesterday I woke up and felt it was friday and I was in a very bad mood but then I realzied it was sunday, and I felt much happier.

Hello miss ale, I think that what you said in the post is right because when we don't sleep well we don't do as much as we usually do when we do sleep well, so I think that as you said we should go and sleep very early so that in the following day we are awake and we can do lots of work at school and we can learn as much as you teachers plan us to do!
Well that's all
See you
Domi

Miss Ale,
I sleep VERY well nearly every day! I go to bed at 8 and wake up at 7 more or less... I think it is easier to have fun during the day and if i don't sleep well i can't pay attention at school.
BYE SEE YOU TOMORROW

Miss Ale,
I think, with what I read sleeping is very important.
I go to bed at 21:00 and I get up at 7:00 every day of the week. I think not only sleeping is important, other things are important too for example breakfast, breakfast is very important because if you have breakfast you have energy to develop in phyisical or mental activities in class. I have breakfast every morning, I have cereals with orange juce. To conclude, I say that having breakfast and sleeping very well makes you better!!! And it is very important.
kisses,

HellO Miss Ale,
I didnt knew that. My mother say me that but I didnt knew why she say it. One day my sister had a great test at secundary and she was very nervous because she thought she didnt kenw nothing. So she went to sleep at 10, she wake at at 2 then she went to sleep again and then she weake up again at 5 until 7. When I heard that I said she must take ten, but with this information you have tell us I think that was a very good idea.
See you tomorrow!!!

Miss Ale,
I totally agree with you, you are absoloutly right! Today we have commented on class why it was so important to sleep well, and more now that we are having lots of tests! One day it passed me, I was so anxious to chat with my friends that I forgot to do my homework, so I have to do it very quick and very late! But therefore, I learnt that the most important things were the school things and then, if I could I could chat with my friends. As today we commented, somebody said that if you slept at eleven you slept eight hours, but what I think is that adults sleep eight hours, we, kids have to sleep at least nine, that is maximum 10 o'clock. If we always be conscious and convince ourselves of doing this as a daily routine we can really get it. So, every single morning we can be awake and not sleepy, and also we can remember about what we studied or whatever we did.
Kisses & Hugs

Hi miss Ale:
I think this post is great to learn something knew. I never thought that when you slept your ideas worked together and helped you understand better. I always thought that sleeping was only to rest because of all the day of being awake, but it wasnt! It was much more important than that it is that + more things. I think that in this weeks I have to rest a lot because the final tests are coming soon... aaaooo(yawn) I have to go to sleep jajajj. See you tomorow. Bye. Sofi 6c

Hello Miss Ale,

You are absolutely right about this because I can admit that when Ican't sleep or I had a meeting at night I'm absolutely tired. Also I agree that when you sleep the things get cemented because once I remembered I was tired and I didn't knew much, the day after I remembered quite enough.

See you tomorrow,

Ramiro SA.

Hello Miss Ale,
I think sleeping is very important because if you sleep you are concentrated and aren't sleepy all the time. Also when you don't sleep good when you arrive at home you want to go to sleep directly and not to do homework or anything.GOOD BYE
