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.

JULIE: I just bought a ticket to New York City. I’m so 
excited to see the city!
SOPHIE: Good for you! Traveling is so much fun. I love 
discovering new places and new people. When 
are you leaving?
JULIE: Next week. I’m taking the red eye. It was cheaper. 
Hopefully, I’ll be able to sleep on the plane.
SOPHIE: I wish I could go with you! New York City is a magical 
place. You will have so much fun.
JULIE: I hope so. I’m going to visit my brother who lives 
there. I will stay for a week and then take the train 
down to Washington, D.C.
SOPHIE: That sounds like a great vacation. I’m looking 
forward to a week at the beach for my summer 
vacation. I just want to relax.


LANGUAGE NOTES
• Ticket can refer to many different types of transportation (metro, bus, train, plane, etc.). 
In general, you can guess the means of transportation by the context.
• When discussing airplane travel, a red eye is a flight that leaves at night to arrive early 
the next morning. This is in reference to how red your eyes become when you don’t get 
a full night’s sleep
