Columbia University study unveils the power of sleep for learning

Sleep consolidates memory—Critical information learned during the day is reinforced during rest.

Stick to a consistent sleep schedule—Irregular sleep patterns disrupt cognitive performance.

Avoid screens before bedtime—Blue light can suppress melatonin, delaying sleep.

Take short naps—20-30 minutes can refresh the mind and improve focus.

Deep sleep boosts creativity—Important for solving complex academic problems.

Columbia advises at least 7-8 hours of sleep for optimal brain function.
