Students should aim to get a minimum of eight hours of sleep every night as we approach exam season.

It’s the best way to ensure that the brain is refreshed and ready to process the information learned during the day.

It may be tempting to stay up late  and cram, but it’s far more beneficial to get enough rest.

A full night’s sleep is especially important the night before an exam, a good night’s sleep makes you more alert and improves memory for test material, leading to better test results.
