text: Comfort plays a big role on determining how well a person does. It is common knowledge that people perform better in a familiar, comfortable work environments than one that is uncomfortable. When discomfort is taken out of daily routines, the energy used to combat discomfort would instead be used to focus on something else. For example, my mother cannot sleep soundly anywhere that is not her own bed the first night because she isn't used to the bed yet. This leads to not enough sleep. However, if it was her own bed, she wouldn't have had to worry about discomfort and instead the energy that would've been used for feeling uncomfortable would be used to sleep well. Similarly, the comforts of a student's home and pajamas will yield better grades because the energy they would've used to get used to a different setting and time used to put together an outfit would be used to pay attention in class and understand new class material.
