Best Answer

Not 'less intelligent' but it would certainly affect their reflexes, co-ordination and concentration.

Intelligence is more of a permanent (yet variable) thing, like weight.

That is that it is possible to become more or less intelligent over a period of time but it's not effected by short-term things like tiredness or hunger or how out-of-breath you are.

Another Perspective

Chronic sleep deprivation can cause serious cognitive difficulties. Recent studies have indicated that what we learn during the day becomes more permanent through the process of sleep.

Chronic lack of sleep causes memory impairment and that causes impairment in cognitive ability. Although it is terrible at any age it is especially damaging in children. A child who has not experience restorative sleep during the night will have trouble paying attention, will be easily frustrated and irritable. She may be emotional. He will not remember what he was taught the day before.

At any age, sleep deprivation impairs your ability to think; your ability to process information; and your ability to store and access what you have learned. In other words, it interferes with executive functions. It can resemble ADD and may eventually cause the same problems associated with ADD.

Long term sleep deprivation is associated with numerous medical conditions such as Heart disease, obesity, depression and ADD as well as cognitive impairment. It has a terrible evict on the quality of life.

Does sleep deprivation affect your learning abilities?

Yes. If you do not get enough sleep, your brain does not have time to ready itself for the new incoming information and therefore you will learn less because you cannot register what is being said.


Why we can need study in deep?

Does getting enough sleep and eating right help you get smarter?

Without getting into a big debate over what "smarter" means, yes, adequate nutrition and sleep is crucial to proper and optimum brain function. In the short term, hunger and exhaustion from sleep deprivation do adversely impact cognitive function. In the long term, improper nutrition can lead to permanent loss of brain function or diminished acuity. Sleep deprivation can be just as debilitating, although it's unclear whether the effects of sleep deprivation are irreversible. Did you know that going without sleep will kill you faster than going without food? Your body needs the time to get ready for the next day. It is unhealthy to get less sleep. In addition to this, sleep can cause you to be less attentive and to retain less information. This means you will notice and learn less in school. You may not even do better on the big test next day because you can't focus on it. I try to go to sleep before 11:30 every night and I am in the top 5 in class rank. Yes, sleep is important to getting good grades. i believe so because the more sleep u get i believe the more better ur brain functions (and the above answer proves that lack of sleep makes you unable to spell) Teenagers and children need more sleep than adults - 10-12 hours every night as opposed to 6-8 hours for adults. Most young people do not get enough sleep. If you are tired and sleepy until lunchtime, you probably need to go to bed earlier and get more sleep. Tired people cannot concentrate as well as rested people, so your grades do go down when you have not gotten enough sleep. You are also grouchy when you are tired, and more likely to get into trouble.


Why is it important that advertisers break text up in smaller portions?

Advertisers are aiming at the lowest common denominator. Intelligent people are rare and have long attention spans. Less-intelligent people are common and have shorter attention spans. Since there are more less-intelligent people, advertisers aim at this larger group. Advertising, therefore, has to be simplified, dumbed-down, to appeal to these less-intelligent people with their shorter attention spans. Reading is considered difficult by this demographic, so any text needs to be brief and easy to understand. Why give a detailed explanation when a sound-bite will do?


Is it true that people that are generally less intelligent can rhyme words easier than generally more intelligent people?

There is no definitive evidence to suggest that less intelligent people can rhyme words easier than more intelligent people. Rhyming ability is a skill that can vary among individuals regardless of their intelligence level. Factors such as exposure to language, vocabulary, and practice can all influence a person's ability to rhyme words.
