In the article, " Sleep Reinforces Learning: Children’s Brains Transform Subconsciously Learned Material Into Active Knowledge", by: Dr. Ines Wilhelm, explains that when children get the full eight hours of sleep they really need, their body gets the energy it needs. It can help them remember more of what they learned in school. " Children's brains transform subconsciously learned material into active knowledgde while they sleep-- even more effectively than adult brains do. " according to the researcher done by Dr. Wilhelm. Studies of adults have shown that sleeping after learning helps support long time space or storage of material that has been learned.

Children need to sleep longer because that's how the earn their focus and staminia to do things in school. Most kids stay up till 11:00 and they then realize in the morning that they needed the sleep. Children between 8 and 11 years of age have been tested on the actions of them not being able to fall asleep. They also tested both age groups when they both go to sleep at the same time, who can remember a larger number of elements from the row of numbers than those who had remained awake in the interim.

When we fall asleep our brain is saving everything it has learned throughtout the day. It is more effective for children than adults. Sleeping is a way fo us to remeber all the things that have happened and it reminds us what we need to work on. Not getting enough sleep is incredibly stressful and it could hurt our health and it makes our physcial appearance look bad. Overall, sleeping longer impacts how much we remember and how much we have learned.
