How Skipping Sleep Is Hurting YOU!
Why is sleep so important for teen brains? Your brain is undergoing monumental reconstruction and that happens mainly when you are asleep. Your brain is becoming more integrated and your prefrontal cortex more strongly wired, which is important for helping you mature.
How much sleep should a teen be getting? 9-10 hours(do you get this much?)
What happens if a teen doesn't get enough sleep? Concentration goes down. Memory and decision-making are affected. You are more likely to make a poor decision when you haven't gotten enough sleep.
Can you catch up on your sleep on the weekends? Going back and forth between two different sleep schedules is confusing to the brain. It is called "social jet lag." (Sleeping until noon on a Saturday does not help you "catch up" on sleep.
What can you do to help yourself? Wake up on weekends within 1-2 hours of your weekday schedule. Create a bedtime routine to help your body begin to shut down and get ready for sleep! It is recommended you stop using electronic devices atleast 30 minutes before bedtime. You will be impressed with how quickly you fall asleep and how much better you'll feel the next day!
Sleep - Jokes!

How do baby bats learn to sleep upside down? >>>>> They slowly get the hang of it.
