There has been various controversies and questioning on this topic about night reading and its effects.
I want you to put this in your mind that your night has been scheduled to rest and rekindle your system for the next days job.
Scientific research shows that we sleep at night simply because of the disappearance of the sun. When the sun goes down,
• Your body temperature reduces a bit,
• Your brain waves also reduce,
• Also,an hormone called melatonin is released by the brain which make the eyes heavy and automatically close by itself.
When we sleep well, we wake up feeling refreshed and alert for our daily activities. Sleep affects how we look, feel and perform on a daily basis, and can have a major impact on our overall quality of life.
If sleep is cut short, the body doesn’t
have time to complete all of the phases needed for muscle repair, memory consolidation and release of hormones regulating growth and appetite.
As you go about your daily activities, your brain is exposed to thousands of stimuli — auditory, visual, neurosensory. And it can't possibly process all that information as it comes in. A lot of the tagging and archiving of memories occurs at night while you're sleeping. It's a bit like what goes on in a library.
All the books dropped off in the book repository during the day are dusted off and cataloged at night. People who think they've adapted well to sleeping just four or five hours a night are often wrong; memory tests show theyare not functioning optimally.
If you say there is no time to read during the day or there are no quiet places for you to read during the day,that will definitely be a lie because you can never find time except you create it.
Most times, the best period to read is immediately after learning it because then,the words heard while it is been explained are still freesh in the brain, so comlementing it with reading at that instance gets you to store over 80% of it.
Scientifically, the best time to sleep is 10pm, so if you will tap into your sleeping hours,the highest to sleep is 11pm and you can wake up as early as 4:00am to read again.
One bitter truth I want to disclose to today is that it is abnormal to start going for night classes when the exam is around the corner. What that means is that you have been unserious from the beginning oof the semester or term.
The basic fact is that if you had developed the habit of never to sleep over a topic you are taught each day, all you will just have to do at the verge of your exam is pure revision or brush over.
The essence of this article is not to create in you the instinct to start sleeping beyond normal. It is not a go ahead to sleep everytime it is just telling you to make use of your sleeping hours as nature as willed it because you can cheat nature.
Sleeping is also a drug for your success,it will be disastrous to spend hours out of bed to prepare for an exam and start sleeping in the exam hall.
