Senior Sam Bahr is using the new studying technique found to improve speed of learning.

Secret to success

New research has shown that sleeping helps your grades but in an unexpected way.

While teachers repeatedly yell at people for falling asleep in class, they are really just withholding the secret to success. Studies conducted through Wikipedia have shown that students retain 150% more information while asleep rather than being awake. Students must sleep in class to learn more efficiently and retain the information given to them.

According to scientific sources, when people are asleep their ear canals expand allowing important information to get to the brain faster. Instead of the sound waves rattling the eardrum, the expanded ear canal lets sound pass up and over the eardrum straight to the brain. This is why people don’t seem bothered by the loud sounds while they are sleeping. Once the sound waves reach the brain, the signal goes straight to specialized brain cells that only work when people are sleeping. These specialized brain cells (unconscioucells) are able to remember information 200% faster than normal brain cells. This is especially helpful when trying to cram for an important test. 

Students in the Cannon Falls High School have tested this theory. Senior, Sam Bahr, says “I can’t believe this actually works. I tried sleeping in class last semester before my final exams and I passed. I’ve been using this technique since and I’ve been succeeding in school.” While sleeping in class hasn’t become the preferred method of studying, it is becoming more and more popular. Since the study came out last summer on Wikipedia, students all over the world are rioting against their teachers for withholding this important information.

Students everywhere should try falling asleep in class. It makes it easier to learn information, retain information, and have better time management. Sleeping in school gives more time to do the things people enjoy such as playing video games and watching TV. If teachers continue to yell at students for falling asleep in class, they are only trying to stunt success in the students. Try to block out the yelling teachers while sleeping or try wearing sunglasses in class so the teacher can’t tell when you’re using this amazing studying technique.
