The average teenager should be getting about 8-10 hours of sleep a night, but only about 15% of them get the recommended amount. Getting enough sleep is extremely important for teenagers. It helps manage stress and can affect your mood, and how you’re able to concentrate and learn while you’re at school.
This causes many teens to suffer from sleeping disorders, and other serious consequences such as not being able to learn or to properly solve problems, and affecting your mood and making you more aggressive and irritable. It doesn’t just change your mental stability though; it can also affect your outer appearance making your more prone to acne and more likely to eat unhealthy food.
There are also advantages to getting enough sleep, like an improved memory and a longer life. People that get more sleep also tend to have a better sense of creativity and are able to pay attention. It’s also important for teenagers that have just started driving to get enough sleep because people who do are less likely to get in car accidents.
Some things to avoid when you’re getting ready to go to bed are caffeinated drinks like coffee, tea, or soda. You should also stay off your electronic devices. I know staying up watching Youtube videos or scrolling through Instagram might seem fun when you’re doing it, but it won’t be the next morning.
Students in school have a hard time getting enough sleep, due to amount of schoolwork in all of their classes, combined with extracurricular activities, and clubs or events happening outside of your school life. It’s important to let teachers know if there is a situation where work might not get done on the due date, and make a plan, so you don’t have to sacrifice your rest.
