Unfortunately, it can. If you don’t get enough sleep, you find it harder to concentrate at school and might do worse in your exams. You’re also more likely to get ill or suffer from stress. In addition, you will eat more unhealthy food to help you stay awake. Lack of sleep can affect everything. Luckily, there’s simple solution.
