Why Sleep Matters for Language Learning
1.	Memory Consolidation
During sleep, especially in the REM stage, your brain organizes and strengthens memories. Studies show that newly learned vocabulary and grammar rules are more likely to stick if you get adequate sleep after studying. Skipping sleep disrupts this process, making it harder to recall what you’ve learned.
2.	Problem-Solving and Creativity
Sleep boosts your ability to solve complex problems and think creatively. If you’ve ever woken up with a solution to a problem, you’ve experienced the power of sleep in action. This applies to cracking tricky grammar rules or composing sentences in your target language.
3.	Cognitive Resilience
Lack of sleep impairs focus and mental flexibility. Research shows that even one night of poor sleep can reduce your ability to absorb new information by up to 40%. For consistent language progress, consistent sleep is non-negotiable.

今日もN3の文法の話をします。
N3の文法はたくさんありますが、その中で、僕が日常生活で使っているものだけ、ピックアップしています。

今日は、〜ぶり、を練習します！
意味は、〜という時間がたってそれ以来、というような意味ですね。


例文です！

・5年ぶりに日本に行きます。

・10年ぶりにもう一度日本語を勉強しはじめました。

・何年かぶりに親友に会いました。
