Teens aren’t getting enough sleep, concludes ananalysisby Jean Twenge, a San Diego State psychology professor.
In two surveys, 40 percent of adolescents reported sleeping less than seven hours a night in 2015. That’s way up from past estimates.
“The more time young people reported spending online, the less sleep they got,” the report noted. “Teens who spent five hours a day online were 50 percent more likely to not sleep enough than their peers who only spent an hour online each day.”
I honestly do not get the logic of starting school later. That just means that kids will stay up later. If they need 8 hours of sleep, then go to bed by 9pm. Easy fix.
