  • Educational Psychology
  • Child Development

Background:

  • A significant portion of school-aged children experience insufficient sleep duration and low sleep quality.
  • These sleep issues are increasingly recognized as a critical factor influencing cognitive functions essential for learning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To synthesize current research on the link between sleep in school-aged children and their academic achievements.
  • To identify patterns in research methods and outcomes concerning sleep and school performance.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of published studies.
  • Analysis of research investigating sleep, school performance, and cognitive/achievement tests.
  • Inclusion of tables summarizing study methodologies and results.
