  7. Sleep Findings Sleeping after learning grows TWICE as many neural dendrites as just learning the material Sleep deprived children are unable to process and use information as well as those not sleep deprived. Stryker’s 2001 Recommendations:

  8. Average daily sleep needs: Newborn Babies 0-2 months: 10.5-18.5 hours Infants 2-12 months: 14-15 hours Toddler 12-18 months: 13-15 hours 18 months-3 years: 12-14 hours Preschoolers 3-5 years: 11-13 hours 1st - 8th Graders (5-12 years) 9-11 hours Adolescents – Teens 8.5-9.5 hours Mature : On average: 7-9 hours

  9. Sleep Patterns for the Adolescent Brain • Middle & high school students’ bodies tend to stay up late and sleep in. • > 50% of high school students in REM sleep after 3 minutes, should take 90 minutes to get there -- Brown U. study

  11. Use of artificial neurotransmitters, i.e. caffeine, during the first twelve years may interfere with the nervous systems ability to naturally make them for the rest of a person’s life!! Recommendation:
