Sleep and studying: why an all-nighter is a poor plan

Sleep supports attention and memory, so cutting it to add last-minute hours can make study less effective. When time is short, use a focused review and protect a reasonable bedtime.

A simple way to try it

  1. Choose the few topics most worth reviewing.
  2. Use recall questions instead of rereading everything.
  3. Set a stopping time that leaves room for sleep.
