    Teen Sleep Needs - Hot Topic

    Uploaded by

    api-533112875
    Teenagers between 13 and 18 years old need between 8 to 10 hours of sleep per night. However, recent studies show that most teens are getting less than 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep. The main contributors to lack of sleep in teens are electronic devices, social media use, and early school start times. Getting adequate sleep improves teens' cognitive performance, physical health, emotional regulation, attention span, learning ability, and memory. While few schools have sleep education programs or later start times, some studies show improved grades and alertness when start times are delayed to allow more sleep.
