Can a Lack of Sleep Set Back Your Child's Cognitive Abilities? -- New York Magazine - 11 views

Which is another way of saying that a slightly sleepy sixth-grader will perform in class like a mere fourth-grader. "A loss of one hour of sleep is equivalent to [the loss of] two years of cognitive maturation and development," Sadeh explains."
