"A good night's sleep is linked to better performance by schoolchildren in math and languages -- subjects that are powerful predictors of later learning and academic success, according to a study. The researchers reported that "sleep efficiency" is associated with higher academic performance in those key subjects" ("All in a Good Night's Sleep: How Quality of Sleep Impacts Academic Performance in Children" - Published in Science Daily).
