Wake up, teens!
There is an epidemic of inadequate sleep among teens. This has both short and long-term negative effects from impaired cognitive function to decreased growth to an increased risk for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease.
From one teen to another: it's time for teens to wake up to the need for sleep!
More than 1/2 of US teenagers are chronically sleep deprived.
74.6%
of teens get fewer than 8 hours of sleep on school nights.
