Abstract

Lack of sleep, its poor quality affect the memory, the quality of learning, and the psychological state of the student. When assessing changes in concentration and stability of attention in children of primary school age (30) in the presence of daytime sleep, it was found that concentration of attention and stability of attention before and after daytime sleep were determined. It was revealed that the concentration of attention after sleep significantly increased for both girls and boys. The coefficient of attention stability is significantly higher in girls and boys after daytime sleep. Daytime sleep fruitfully affects the rest of children, its presence increases their ability to work and assimilation of educational material provided.
