Sleep is very important to how our bodies function and how well our brain works. Length of sleep is important and so is the quality of sleep, that is sleep which is not interrupted by nightmares and waking up during the night. When you don’t get enough sleep the brain is affected by not being able to plan and organize activities or pay attention. This will affect how well you perform at school. Several studies have shown a link between media use and poor sleep.
