Last Saturday, Lisa had her first lessn at the cmmunity pl. Her dad, a frmer swimmer in high schl, started with the basics: flating n her back and kicking her legs. At first, everything felt awkward.

Passage 2
Many students stay up late t study, especially befre exams. They think sacrificing sleep will help them remember mre infrmatin, but science tells a different stry. A study by the University f Califrnia tracked 500 middle schl students fr a year, cmparing their sleep habits with their test scres. The results were clear: students wh slept 7-9 hurs nightly scred 20% higher n average than thse wh slept less than 6 hurs.
Why is sleep s imprtant? During deep sleep, the brain reviews and stres infrmatin frm the day, turning shrt-term memries int lng-term nes. This prcess is like filing papers—withut it, yur brain becmes t cluttered t find what it needs. Students wh pull all-nighters might cram facts temprarily, but mst will frget them within days.
Lack f sleep als affects md and fcus. Teachers ften reprt that sleep-deprived students are mre irritable, struggle t sit still, and miss imprtant instructins. “I used t stay up until 2 a.m. studying,” said 14-year-ld Jasn. “But then I’d zne ut in class and have t ask friends fr ntes. Nw I g t bed at 10 p.m., and I get mre dne in less time.”
Our schl library has plenty f bks n sleep science, including Teens and Sleep by Dr. Maria Gmez. It explains hw screens disrupt sleep hrmnes, why regular bedtimes matter, and simple relaxatin techniques. The schl nurse als ffers “sleep wrkshps” every mnth, teaching students t create a bedtime rutine: n phnes an hur befre bed, reading a physical bk, r listening t calm music.
“Sleep isn’t a waste f time,” the nurse tld a grup f students last week. “It’s the best study tl yu have. Yur brain wrks harder while yu sleep than yu think!”
