Some children feel they can concentrate better at night, when the whole world is asleep.Studying is done best at night,they will tell you,not realising the potent ,imminent danger in doing so. When the sun rises in the morning,oxygen supply is maximum, and we remember best.After a full nights rest the brain is ready to function, not that the brain sleeps when we do.But the reorganizing process is carried on in the human computer during those hours of sleep.At night the plants release carbon dioxide ,oxygen supply reduces.If we stay awake for whatever reason we go against the forcesof nature and therefore the ALMIGHTY.Sleep nourishes the brains circuit and help us to function normally.The teenagers need eight to ten hours of sleep, which necessitates them to go to bed early.
