Why teens need up to 10 hours’ sleep

Why teens need up to 10 hours' sleep
February 21, 2018, Flinders University
 

Technology, other distractions and staying up late make is difficult, but researchers say teenagers need to make time for 8-10 hours of sleep a night to optimise their performance and maintain good health and wellbeing.

As soon as teens get less than nine hours sleep, attention deficits accumulate and jetlag-type behaviour starts to kick in – putting them at risk of poor performance at school and even personal injury through accidents, including car crashes if they drive.

Mmhmm.  And my kids' school bus comes at 6:42.  That means they would have to go to bed around 8:00pm in order to get those 10 hours of sleep.

This is why the AMA recommends middle and high schools start no earlier than 8:30.

I homeschool.  I don't know how "normal" families are able to get to school at the early hours some of them start.

She'll get back on the plane herself when you ask her to "ride the short one".

I don't know. I read an article on 4Chan that they like it really short over there. That's why they love Putin. He's 4'3".

He's short but muscular.  Probably works out by digging holes with his bare hands.

I can do other more productive things with my bare hands.

Awesome.  You should make videos and upload to YouTube.  I bet you'd get a lot of hits.

Maybe the local school districts will eventually catch up.
