Or it could be that some students don’t need to sacrifice sleep to succeed. I spent most of my degree goofing off with the regular interruptions of sitting in lectures, writing notes, and maybe review them once before taking a test. I always made sure to get enough sleep to be mentally sharp. If I did that, the act of writing notes in the lecture was enough to lock the information in my head. Later on in college when class got more difficult, my best friends and I would talk about what we learned each day. We taught each other our own subjects and teaching can be the best way to learn. Not everyone is so fortunate to have the massive advantages I did. I had to be careful with money but never needed loans or a job. This let me focus solely on getting good enough grades to graduate.
