THE LEADING CAUSES OF SLEEP DEPRIVATION IN TEENAGERS

As time elapsed, it became clear that teenagers were not getting the necessary amount of sleep; thus resulting in sleep deprivation. An extensive investigation was conducted using internet resources such as Hopkins Medical to gain information about this topic. Many surveys from institutions such as Stanford were also used to acquire sufficient information. As a result, it was determined that early school start times led to teen sleep deprivation, as well as homework overload and increased usage of technology. This information is useful since teens go through significant changes, and in order for those changes to continue, a teen must get enough sleep. It is also important as it has been proven that a lack of sleep can lead to a variety of mental as well as physical health problems.
