  7. Where Do You do Your Sleeping?

  8. SLEEPING • Researchers at Harvard Medical School in Boston say that losing out on sleep disrupts students' ability to learn and remember. The study reports that sleep is an important aspect of the learning process and that if students miss out on sleep their ability to perform academic tasks declines. • Even if students tried to catch up on missed sleep, the negative impact on performance was still apparent three days after the initial loss of sleep. • The suggestion is that sleep plays an important part in the way that people learn, with the sleep process helping to make new information "stick". http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/low/education/1035161.stm

  9. What Kind of Breakfast Do you eat?

  10. EATING BREAKFAST • Numerous studies indicate that students who start their day with a healthy breakfast perform better in school, behave better, and are absent less frequently than students who do not.  Thus, a huge increase in student participation at breakfast would seem to bode well for future student success in school.
