Toddlers' irregular bedtimes 'hit results at school': Children without a set time aged three achieve lower scores in maths and reading tests at seven | Mail Online: Children who go to bed at irregular times when very young do worse in school later on, research has found.
Those without a set bedtime as three-year-olds achieved lower scores in maths, reading and IQ tests when they were seven.
The disruption, in which girls were shown to be more strongly affected, may restrict children’s academic achievement for the rest of their lives.

I am a Preeschool teacher and I see this happening all the time with the children. The children who have set bedtimes and daily routines established have better attendance and are ready to start the day of learning. The children that I know have stayed up late the night before are usually tardy, have not eaten breakfast and are tired when they get to school. They are the children at risk. They are the children whose cognitive skills are low.
