Note to Pupils:

Effects of Inadequate rest and sleep

  1. Feeling Tired: When we don’t get enough rest and sleep, we feel very tired during the day. This can make it hard to play and learn.
  2. Having Trouble Paying Attention: Inadequate rest and sleep can make it difficult to focus and pay attention in class. It’s like your brain is too tired to listen.
  3. Getting Sick More Easily: Not getting enough rest and sleep can weaken our bodies, and we might get sick more often. Sleep helps our body stay strong.
  4. Feeling Grumpy: When we’re tired, we might feel grumpy or easily upset. We might not be as happy as we usually are.
  5. Finding It Hard to Remember: Sleep helps our brains remember things. Without enough sleep, it can be tricky to remember what we learned in school.
