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

Answer 1

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.
