WHY ARE TEENAGERS

SO CHRONICALLY SLEEP
DEPRIVED?
BY CATHERINE NGUYEN
PSYCHOLOGY 12
THE
MORE
SLEEP
THE
BETTER!
SLEEP IS THE LAST THING ON OUR MINDS
SOME ARE INVOLVED IN SPORTS
MOST HAVE A
PART TIME JOB
MANY TEENAGERS GO TO PARTIES OR SOCIALIZE
CAN CAUSE DAMAGE
TO THE BRAIN
TEENS ARE CONSTANTLY FALLING ASLEEP LATER
AND WAKING UP LATER
CAR ACCIDENTS
ARE MORE PRONE
TO HAPPEN WITH
LITTLE SLEEP
LACK OF SLEEP
IS A COMMON LINK
TO DEPRESSION
TAKING
MEDICATION
CAN AFFECT
YOUR SLEEP
SOME MAY HAVE
RESTLESS LEG
SYNDROME THAT
CAN INTERFERE
WITH SLEEP
SLEEP IS IMPORTANT FOR THE BODY TO REST & REPAIR
TEEN ARE CONSTANTLY
USING THEIR PHONES
& TECHNOLOGY
TECHNOLOGY PREVENTS THE PRODUCTION OF MELATONIN
YOUR GRADES MAY
DROP
WEIGHT IS ONE OF THE GREASTST INSECURITIES AMONG TEENS
TEENS SHOULD NOT BE WORRYING ABOUT HEALTH PROBLEMS
REDUCE THE USE OF
TECHNOLOGY
BEFORE BED
GET ENOUGH EXERCISE!
