Why sleep is important?

Fairy Tale, Night, Music, Fish, Sky, Fly, Flight, Sleep

In the famous study culture students are studying for 9-11 hours a day without sleep and most of us are proud to say that we sacrificed our sleep for studies. I have even seen many teachers advising students that studies are more important than sleep, but is it? In my life sleeping is the number one priority. I'm not even kidding. If I go to an exam without sleep my performance will be worse than a no study proper sleep situation. Sleep actually has a huge impact on how we perform and our levels of concentration. Lets dig in to find out how that works.

First of all sleep deprivation makes you hard to focus on anything, and secondly sleep helps to retain the stuff you studied. So my advice is to first have a proper sleep cycle. Our body produces melatonin when we are asleep. It is called the hormone of darkness because it is produced as a response to darkness. Melatonin is very important in maintaining your metabolism and sleep cycles. It is only synthesised when we are asleep and it resets our body. That is why we are advised not to use screens before sleep. You have to stop using screens at least two hours before you sleep and always sleep early and try to have a minimum of 8 hours sleep.

Sleep deprivation will make you to wake up exhausted, burn outs, lack of concentration and not able to memorize anything you studied. As I always say, maintaining your good health alongside studies is very important because who wants to get sick during the exams, right?

How to survive A/Ls in 3 months...

Today is the first of May and there are exactly three months until GCE A/L exams begin. I intend to help people who has realized this and started panicking and feeling lost, but not only A/L students but also any student with any upcoming exam can use these tips to ace your exam. I will first explain why most of us usually wait until the day before deadline to do stuff. It's explained by Parkinson's law which states that " Work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion". What it means is, if we are given a week to finish a task we will finish it within the week and if we are given an year to finish the same task we will spend the whole year doing it. Well that's how usually us, lazy humans work. Now that you know what happened there is no time to regret about how we procrastinated on unnecessary things etc. Now it's time to damage control.
