Poor results on tests or shortcomings in the cognitive demands of everyday life are often attributed to such bad days or moments. Furthermore, the experience of having a particularly good or bad night's sleep is common in daily life. Astonishingly, however, empirical research on both of these everyday phenomena is scarce. Therefore, our aim was to relate nightly variations in children's sleep to their cognitive performance the following day to gain knowledge about a potential source of cognitive performance fluctuations in children.

Some studies with adult samples suggest that cognitive performance fluctuations can be identified in a number of cognitive tasks and that these fluctuations vary according to age (Nesselroade & Salthouse, 2004; Schmiedek, Lövdén, & Lindenberger, 2013; Sliwinski, Smyth, Hofer, & Stawski, 2006).

Benjamin Zephaniah

Today he holds a handful of honorary degrees. In 2008 he appeared in The Times list of top 50 post-war writers. Zephaniah’s work is often described as dub poetry, a form of oral performance poetry that is sometimes staged to music and which typically draws on the rhythms of reggae and the rhetoric of Rastafarianism.
