Every spring, thousands of students prepare for exams by doing exactly the wrong thing: staying up late with their books. A study carried out at a university in the Netherlands followed 380 first-year students through their end-of-year exams. The researchers compared students' sleep diaries with their results, and the pattern was striking. Students who slept at least seven hours on the nights before their exams scored, on average, 11 per cent higher than those who slept five hours or fewer — a difference large enough to turn a fail into a comfortable pass.

What surprised the researchers most was that extra studying could not make up for lost sleep. Students who reported studying past midnight before an exam performed worse than students who had studied the same total number of hours but stopped earlier, even when the late-night group had covered more material. The explanation, the researchers suggest, lies in how the brain stores information: memories formed during the day are strengthened and organised during deep sleep, so cutting sleep short interrupts the very process that revision depends on.

The team is careful to point out that their study shows a strong link rather than definite proof, since students who sleep well may differ in other ways — they may be less anxious, for example, or simply better organised.

On Saturday, Marko got up early because it was his grandfather's birthday. First, he went to the bakery and bought a chocolate cake. Then he took the bus to his grandfather's village, about half an hour from the city. His cousins were already there, and they all had lunch in the garden. After lunch, Grandfather opened his presents. Marko gave him a warm scarf. "It's perfect for the winter," Grandfather said with a big smile. Marko got home at nine in the evening, tired but happy.

Question: How did Marko travel to the village?

Dear Ana,

I'm at the gym until seven, so please start dinner. The soup is already in the fridge — just warm it up on the cooker, but don't make it too hot! Then wash the tomatoes and cut some bread. Grandma is coming at half past seven, so please put four plates on the table, not three. Oh, and take the ice cream out of the freezer at seven — it's too hard to eat when it's frozen. Thanks! You're the best.

Mum

Class 7B visited the city zoo last Friday. The children liked the monkeys best because they were funny and made a lot of noise. The elephants were sleeping, so the class couldn't see them well. At midday, everyone ate sandwiches near the lake, and a duck stole Simon's bread — the whole class laughed, even Simon! In the afternoon, a zookeeper told them how the zoo helps sick birds. The children were surprised that the zoo has a small animal hospital. On the bus home, everyone agreed: it was the best school trip this year.

Question: What happened at lunchtime?

Maria Petrova is a young musician from Bitola. She started playing the violin when she was six years old. Her first teacher was her father, who plays in the town orchestra. At twelve, Maria won a national competition in Skopje, and last year she got a place at a famous music school in Vienna. She now lives there with her aunt. "I miss my friends and my mother's cooking," she says, "but I go home every summer. One day I want to play in concerts all around the world."

My father read one newspaper a day, from front to back, and considered himself informed. I read fragments of perhaps forty articles a day and am fairly sure he was better informed than I am. This is the paradox nobody prepared us for: news has never been more available, and understanding has rarely been thinner.

The problem is not, as is often claimed, that online news is false — most of what I skim is accurate enough. The problem is the skimming itself. A headline arrives between two messages; I absorb its claim without its context, its conclusion without its evidence. By evening I hold a dozen confident opinions I could not defend for thirty seconds, assembled from sentences I half-read while standing in queues. My father, with his single unfashionable newspaper, met each story once, in full, with its background attached. The information travelled more slowly, but it arrived intact.

I have tried the obvious remedies. I deleted two apps and subscribed to a weekly journal, promising myself depth instead of speed. The journal arrives each Friday and sits on my table like a reproach; by the time I open it, I have already consumed the week's events in fragments and feel, wrongly, that I know them. Breaking the habit of constant shallow updating, it turns out, is not a matter of arranging better reading material. It is a matter of tolerating the feeling of not knowing — and that, I begin to suspect, is a skill my father's generation never had to learn.
