Children learn while sleeping

Children learn while sleeping

A recent study has found that children right from the day after being born have a great capacity to learn especially while sleeping since it has been discovered that the brain of children transmits electromagnetic waves as a reaction to the information they hear.

Since children spend most of the time sleeping, scientists recommend making use of this time to teach children. Scientists add that the brains of newborn babies have around 100 billion pre-programmed neurological cells to pick up and accurately analyse information. Scientists consider this phenomenon as a miracle of nature but the truth is that it is God the Almighty who created man and made sleeping a sign and a miracle. God the exalted says in the holy Qur’an (meaning), “And among His Signs is the sleep that you take by night and by day, and the quest that you (make for livelihood) out of His Bounty: verily in that are signs for those who hearken.” (Sura ArRum, ayah 23).
