^Sleep has no impact on grades (at least not in the high school ranks). It all has to do with dedication and determination.

 

That's a complete an utter fallacy, UK. Sleep absolutely has impact on grades. And behavior and a whole host of other things.

I'm 21 and outside of describing Ron Washington's game 7 pregame speech, I can't recall using the "F-Bomb" in front of my dad. We weren't allowed to use any type of "cuss" word growing up, even radio friendly stuff. Now, he doesn't care, but I just never feel like the word is necessary in front of him or my mom. With my friends or brother, it's another story, but somehow I automatically turn it off when I go home.

Was never an issue with me or anyone I know....I'll stand by my statement.

The family rat? haha jk

I'm completely ok with that. All three that are on social media are my sisters and having been a high school boy before I don't have any issues with keeping them in check! I'll admit that I'll more than likely be more lenient on my youngest brother...

From my undergraduate days as a psychology minor, I can tell you that there are plenty of studies that would argue against you.

 

I got mixed feelings about it all. I was usually asleep by 10:30-11:00 in high school and got good grades. I was usually up til 2:00am in college and got good grades (granted I didnt' start class til 10:00-11:00 most days).

So...because it worked for you, it must be a bunch of mularkey for everyone else?

^No, I think it's bogus because I've never met a single person that didn't do well in school because of a lack of sleep. Not one. It's simply an excuse.

I usually never went to sleep before 11:30 in HS. Granted I didn't get great grades but it wasn't because of that. :lol:

And that's my whole point....You could take a kid that goes to bed at 9:30 every night and gets straight A's and a kid that goes to bed after midnight every night that gets C's and D's, and people will say it's because of sleep. Sleep has nothing to do with that. It comes down to a whole lot of other factors, mainly effort, determination, and dedication.

What environmental factors do you think have an impact?

You're actually speaking of anomalies. The norm is sleep has everything to do with it.

Lots of studies out there supporting the sleep/grade relationship.

As someone who made solid grades and stayed up all night, I can assure anyone it was swimming against the current. I'm probably lucky I could nap through first period without the teacher noticing. :lol:

Lots of studies out there supporting the sleep/grade relationship.

 

And how exactly do these studies measure a student's effort, determination, and dedication?

Lots of studies out there supporting the sleep/grade relationship.

 

But, it seems UKM is complete eschewing them all.
