Saturday, September 11, 2004TEENS AND SLEEP by Richard Simon, Jr., MD Teenagers require more sleep, by 1 to 2 hours, than do their younger 9 and 10 year old siblings, yet most teenagers get 1 to 2 hours less. Teenagers are the sleepiest members of society and this sleepiness is associated with poor school performance, increased drug and alcohol use, and increased automobile accidents. This level of sleepiness may also play a role in the high rate of teenage suicides. Often teenagers have difficulty falling asleep in the evening and difficulty awakening in the morning. There are at least two major reasons for this sleep pattern. It is commonly assumed that teenagers require less sleep than do their younger siblings when in fact teenagers require more sleep. Because of this, teenagers are frequently sleep deprived. To make matters even worse, teenagers typically don’t get appropriately timed bright light as the following example illustrates. Obtained from: http://www.smmc.com/sleep/teen.html (St Mary Medical Centre) Most teenagers need between 9 and 9½ hours of sleep each night. Yet surveys show that most teenagers get only 6 to 7 hours. Twenty percent of high schoolers say that they have fallen asleep in class. If you don't get enough sleep, you may experience symptoms of sleep deprivation. These include: Falling asleep in class. Irritability. Having a hard time waking up in the morning. Difficulty concentrating. Depression after prolonged sleep deprivation. Taken from: http://www.pamf.org/teen/health/diseases/sleep.html (Palo Alto Medical Foundation) 9 hours of sleep? Meaning that I have to sleep by 8 in order to get about 9 hours since I wake up at 5:30 on school days... How can??? Suan le. Don't think anyone my age gets 9 hours of sleep consistently every day. |
