He leído un artículo en la BBC http://www.bbc.com/news/business-22209818, publicado en mayo del 2013, acerca de la carencia de sueño "sleep deprivation" en estudiantes y el imacto tremendamente negativo que tiene en su aprendizaje y desempeño escolar.
"There is a growing interest in the associations between adequate sleep and academic performance," says Prof Dijk.
It isn't only that young people are kept awake by messaging their friends or using the internet. The light from the screen, held close to the face, is physically disruptive to the natural onset of sleep.
"Having a computer screen that is eight inches away from your face is going to expose you to a lot more light than watching a television on the opposite side of the room," says Karrie Fitzpatrick, sleep researcher at Northwestern University in Illinois.
Dr Fitzpatrick says lack of sleep is going to leave pupils more emotionally volatile, more potentially disruptive and physically struggling to learn.
Dr Fitzpatrick says that the loss of sleep and short-term attempts to catch up can cause further and complex disruptions to the way the brain tries to store information.
But there is good news. If you start getting enough sleep on a regular basis, the loss to learning can be reversed.
Lack of sleep is also a serious physical barrier to learning.
