  1. How does sleep loss affect us? Aakash Desai

  2. Sleep on Health • Sleep is very important for the brain. If you do not get enough sleep then it will make you look bad, feel bad, and perform poorly. It makes you more aggressive with family and friends plus it hurts your performance on tests and sporting activities.

  3. Quality of Life • The biggest thing is that you are not living a good quality of life. • You tend to stray away from activities that require sustained attention such as going to the movies or paying attention in class. • You wake up in the morning not wanting to start the day because you did not get a good night of sleep.

  4. How Much Sleep Do You Really Need? • Teens(10-17)- 8.5-9.25 hours • Adults- 7-9 hours • It gets harder to sleep as you get older so daytime naps can help you throughout the day. • It is optimum to get at least 7 hours a day of rest so your body is ready for the next day.

  7. Teens and Sleep • During adolescence, sleeping and waking tend to be at later times. • It is natural to not be able to sleep before 11 pm. • Teens need about 9 hours of sleep but 8 is enough. • One study shows that only 15% sleep at least 8 ½ hours per night. • Teens suffer from narcolepsy, and insomnia.

  8. Lack of sleep in teens • For teens, lack of sleep could be cause by too much homework or other activities. Try and plan your schedule a little better because many teens including myself have this problem.

  9. Tips to Improve Your Sleep • Go to bed and wake up at consistent times. • Turn off electronics. • Avoid caffeine. • Limit alcohol intake • Avoid smoking. • Make sure that you are as comfortable as possible without having any distractions.
