We are always told that we should do our best, make an effort, push through... And so we sometimes overdo it. Cramming before and exam, nights on end finishing assignments due the next day... who hasn't done that? Either due to having procrastinated or because you did not have enough time.
Resting is equally (sometimes even more) important than study time. If your body and mind are not well rested, you're simply not at full capacity. You won't remember things as well, maybe you won't make connections in your reasoning when answering to a question on an exam or when writing an essay - connections that you may have made easily if well rested.
So, here's to taking a well-deserved break, personally, after all our exams are finished and assignments handed in.
Happy holidays! May the New Year bring joy, and don't forget: make mistakes.
