Regardless of how much a high school student generally studies each day, if that student sacrifices sleep in order to study more than usual, he or she is more likely to have academic problems the following day. These are the findings from a longitudinal study of 535 9th, 10th, and 12th graders who kept detailed diaries for 14 days on how long they studied and slept, and whether or not they experienced academic problems.
