Can a good night sleep benefit learning?
22 Feb 2022, 18:00 – 19:00
There is now substantial scientific evidence that sleep has an impact on daytime behaviour and cognitive functioning.
Sleep patterns change across our developmental trajectory - hence one important question is posed here: How can sleep enhance one’s learning? The impact of a good night sleep might not only have a direct impact on the child but family and whole school. Professor Dimitriou will discuss the current recommendations and possible tools to improve sleep.
This event will be particularly useful for those interested in cognitive, social and emotional development.
