Abstract	Sleep is one of our basic needs that plays a very important role in a human being’s health. It is important for our physical, intellectual and emotional health. Sleep loss not only makes people feel sleepy in the daytime, it is even a possible risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease. All functions occur throughout the brain and the body. Sleep is thus necessary for the optimal operation of key cognitive functions related to academic, and perhaps social success in higher education. When students arrive at college their sleep habits are often one of their first daily routines to change and not usually for the better. College students typically shift to an irregular sleep–wake cycle characterized by short sleep length on weekdays and phase delays (later wake-up time) on weekends, although this general pattern is influenced by an individual’s study and work schedules. Both sleep deprivation and poor sleep quality are particularly prominent in young adult and college student populations. Recent data have suggested that sleep is important for memory consolidation and learning. Sleep deprivation results in sleepiness and impaired neurocognitive and psychomotor performance. Recent reviews have indicated an important relationship between sleep patterns with learning abilities and consequent academic performance.
