To Shed Light On (with transcript)

The Migrating Warblers concerns issues of racism. The titular birds have just returned to Texas from their migration in Guatemala. When they return, they relate tales of Central America that they find to be scandalous or gruesome. They recount their experiences in a sort of mangled "Spanglish" that disrespects the region from which they've just returned.

Why Sleep Matters for Language Learning
1.	Memory Consolidation
During sleep, especially in the REM stage, your brain organizes and strengthens memories. Studies show that newly learned vocabulary and grammar rules are more likely to stick if you get adequate sleep after studying. Skipping sleep disrupts this process, making it harder to recall what you’ve learned.
2.	Problem-Solving and Creativity
Sleep boosts your ability to solve complex problems and think creatively. If you’ve ever woken up with a solution to a problem, you’ve experienced the power of sleep in action. This applies to cracking tricky grammar rules or composing sentences in your target language.
3.	Cognitive Resilience
Lack of sleep impairs focus and mental flexibility. Research shows that even one night of poor sleep can reduce your ability to absorb new information by up to 40%. For consistent language progress, consistent sleep is non-negotiable.
