Most people know that lack of sleep can cause bad organization skills, but it seems to work both ways.
Research conducted at The University of Alabama reveals that inadequate time management skills, particularly in organization, can adversely affect the sleep quality of college students.
Let's find out more.
How students only make things worse for themselves
Dr. Adam Knowlden tested and explored how time management affects sleep health among full-time college students, focusing on their goal-setting, time management skills and patterns, and also organization preference.
The research discovered that these factors significantly influenced students' overall sleep quality, with their time management explaining about 20% of their sleep quality outcomes.
Notably, an inclination towards organization emerged as the most crucial factor affecting sleep quality, suggesting that maintaining an organized environment contributes to better sleep.
Why is it important?
Knowlden emphasizes the importance of developing correct time management strategies before the school year begins, and recommends allocating eight to nine hours of sleep as a priority to optimize learning and academic performance during restorative sleep.
