Well it's not wrong

There are puritans who founded several colonies and some of the founding fathers may have been puritans, though most were deists.

How much did that affect the country though?

Uh, debatable.

What's Poppin kids

Puritanical (chrisitian) views aren't the main stream in the US anymore. However, if the commies and muslims get their way, full blown sharia is likely.

Full blown Sharia sounds shitty

It'll be a cold day in hell before I convert to a pagan religion created by a merchant

I remember reading that reading/studying before bed helps you retain the knowledge better

Did you sleep after you read that tidbit?

Probably

Im curious if there are any studies based in this claim.

Probably

Scientists get government grants for the weirdest research all the time.

Heres a qoute

“Researchers have found repeatedly that sleep is an integral part of recall. Creating a memory occurs in three stages: acquisition, consolidation and recall. Acquisition is when you actually encounter and attempt to learn new information, while consolidation is the neurological process of incorporating the information into a memory. These are both essential for recall, or accessing the information later.

The crucial consolidation step appears to happen when we are sleeping. During this time, our brain creates the neurological connections that enable us to retain the information. Researchers believe that the unique brainwave activity that occurs during sleep is important to consolidation and thus to memory as a whole. This new research suggests that when consolidation happens shortly after acquisition, recall is improved.”

“However, the cortex of the brain is also critical to memory. When we fall asleep, even for a short time, this area becomes very active. Engaging the cortex while information is still fresh in our heads may encourage the crucial step of consolidation”

Therefore, read before bed.

The study also did a test to prove this

Results?

“Half of the participants reviewed the photos before sleeping for eight hours, while the other half reviewed them in the morning. Both groups “studied” for the same amount of time and both took the memory test 12 hours after studying.

It was found that the participants who engaged in studying before bedtime were able to match names to faces at a higher rate and felt more confident about their answers compared to those who studied in the morning.”
