    Importance of Sleep

    Children and adolescents who do not get enough sleep have a higher risk of
    obesity, diabetes, injuries, poor mental health, and problems with attention and
    behavior. 1-4

    How much sleep someone needs depends on their age. The American Academy
    of Sleep Medicine has recommended that children aged 6–12 years should
    regularly sleep 9–12 hours per 24 hours and teenagers aged 13–18 years should
    sleep 8–10 hours per 24 hours. 1

    Are Students Getting Enough Sleep?

    CDC analyzed data from the 2015 national and state Youth Risk Behavior
    Surveys. Students were asked how much sleep they usually got on school nights.
    5 

    Students who were 6 to 12 years old and who reported sleeping less than 9 hours
    were considered to not get enough sleep. Teenagers aged 13 to 18 years who
    reported sleeping less than 8 hours also were considered to not get enough
    sleep.

    Health habits, such as eating and sleep patterns, are linked to academic success, according to the
    Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
    "Your brain can't work if you're not consuming enough calories, and in general that's not a problem,"
    explained Krista Casazza, Ph.D., R.D., assistant professor in the Department of Nutrition Sciences.
    "But when kids go to school without eating breakfast, their cognitive function can be affected."
    Casazza suggests kids start the day with fruits, proteins and whole grains. Avoid sugary cereals
    because they cause a sugar high, then a crash.
    "A balanced breakfast will fuel the body for a long period and help sustain their attention level
    through lunch, when they need to eat well again," Casazza said. "This will hold them until dinner,
    and they won't snack ravenously after school."
    If the kids do need to eat something prior to dinner, consider these options: • Offer healthy choices
    like yogurt, fruits and veggies. • If they want "kid stuff," baked chips can be an option, in moderation.
    • Drink water. Soda lacks nutritional value.
    Once homework and dinner are done, sleep needs to be the priority.

    Studies have shown that total sleep deprivation can trigger a reward system in
    the brain in response to food stimuli. But until recently researchers didn't know if
    there was a similar relationship between everyday sleep loss and the brain's
    reaction to food.

    Researchers looked at volunteers who entered a nine-day study period with a


    built-up sleep debt. Under ideal sleep conditions, scientists were able to show
    two things: That even small amounts of sleep loss can put the "brain at risk for
    hyperactivation to food triggers in everyday life, which could be a risk factor
    for obesity and lifestyle diseases." These include metabolic disorder,
