"Not sleeping enough makes it impossible to pay optimal attention and learn. One study found that when people average four hours of sleep a night for four or five days, they develop the same level of cognitive impairment as if they’d been awake for 24 hours—the equivalent of being legally drunk in some countries. Within ten days, the level of impairment matches that of going 48 hours without sleep. Sleep deprivation greatly lengthens reaction time, impedes judgment, and interferes with problem solving.
Good sleep is also critical to strengthening and solidifying memories—it helps learning stick. During certain stages of sleep, your hippocampus (the part of your brain associated with learning and forming new memories) talks to the neocortex which helps encode and strengthen long-term memory".
