Recently, Japanese students are often seen sleeping during class. In fact, I often slept during class too. Recently, for Japanese students, the time spent on hobbies, part-time jobs and homework is increasing. For that reason, more and more students are cutting down on their sleep time. I will consider the impact of students’ lack of sleep on their studies.
I will introduce the causes of students’ lack of sleep. The first reason is that the time for hobbies is increasing. It is mainly due to the development of the Internet and devices such as smartphones and video games. The development of SNS is also a major cause of lack of sleep. The second is that even high school students and university students can feel the need to work part-time jobs. If you have a part-time job until late at night, you will not get enough sleep. The third cause is that there is too much homework and time to study at home. Students who lack sleep have various causes.
How will students’ lack of sleep impact them academically? You will likely fall behind in your studies by falling asleep in class. Once you’re behind, you’ll spend a lot of time catching up. That’s very hard. Additionally, your evaluation from the teacher may go down because it’s an inappropriate attitude towards lessons. Moreover, your lifestyle will be disturbed, and it will be difficult to go back to normal. Taking nap is a cause of not being able to sleep at night. Students’ lack of sleep has a very negative effect on their education.
Lack of sleep affects not only academics but also your life. If you don’t get enough sleep, you may get sudden drowsiness. It’s very dangerous if it happens while driving. Additionally, if you don’t get enough sleep, you may lose concentration. You may make a mistake in various parts of life such as academics and part-time jobs. Finally, the risk of illness and colds increases. If you get sick, you have to take a day off from school until you get better. For students, lack of sleep is also dangerous.
Students’ lack of sleep is negative for both academics and life. Hobbies, part-time jobs, and studying at home are the main causes of lack of sleep. You may be late for class, and your grades and evaluation from the teacher will also go down. Lack of sleep is our enemy.
