We've all heard that sleeping is important for our health, but Japanese?
Lack of a restful nights sleep can be a great hindrance to studying.
One thing that happens is that you're just too tired to study.
Tired physically and mentally.
You have no energy. Lack of energy means lack of motivation.
Lack of motivation means no action.
Another is that you might not "feel" tired,
but you're a lot more distracted. Constantly daydreaming, hazy, spacey, in a daze, etc.
Things take your attention away much easier,
and that means less likely to be able to focus on Japanese study.
Another problem is what I'd like to call "slothing".
You might feel fine but it takes you a lot longer to do anything.
Which means time being wasted.
You'll also have a harder time remembering what you've studied.
I know work schedule might be a reason or school work,
those are understandable. (unless you were procrastinating)
But how many times did you stay up late watching YouTube or TV?
Or just five more minutes of that video game?
Be honest with yourself.
Some "think" they're night owls, but I know many
that can't function the next day and need energy drinks or coffee to get through the day.
Many have a hard time getting out of bed. Those drinks can't replace the rest of sleep.
Some have no problem and function great! That's fine, but those are the very few.
I'm not saying become an early bird. I'm saying get enough rest.
Maybe only 5 hours is enough for you. Maybe 9 is enough for you.
As long as you get that rest.
Getting enough rest means having more energy and motivation to study.
It also means you'll feel positive and not pessimistic.
Many become pessimistic when they're tired.
You'll also feel and look great.
Your brain needs its beauty sleep too.
You'll feel encouraged.
You'll think more clearly.
You'll be focused.
Most importantly,
you'll remember and retain the Japanese you've been studying a lot easier.
I will write my experience with this in Part 2.
Look forward to it.
