Claim Breakdown
📝 Fact Check: While building a study routine can be helpful, pushing through exhaustion is actually counterproductive. The American Psychological Association (APA) has shown that excessive homework has diminishing returns and leads to burnout. Furthermore, sleep is critical for memory consolidation and learning; sacrificing it just to practice 'doing work when tired' actively harms a child's cognitive development! 🧠💤
