Study Notes
Sleep Changes During Adolescence
- Adolescents experience significant changes in sleep habits due to puberty, with internal body clocks shifting to prefer later bedtimes.
- Teenagers may go to bed up to 2 hours later than when they were in elementary school.
- Increased sensitivity to blue light from devices can mislead their brains into thinking it's still daytime, leading to extended wakefulness.
Physiological and Psychological Impacts
- Rapid physical growth during adolescence requires more sleep, similar to toddlers.
- Hormonal changes contribute to feelings of sleepiness despite staying awake longer.
- Mismatch between natural sleep patterns and early school schedules results in exhaustion.
Sleep Deprivation Statistics
- Approximately 72% of American teenagers habitually do not get the recommended 8 to 10 hours of sleep.
- Sleep deprivation leads to negative effects, such as inattention, hyperactivity, poor judgment, and increased risks for depression and anxiety.
Suicidal Thoughts and Sleep Connection
- The risk of suicidal thoughts increases by 20 to 40% for teens sleeping one or two hours less than recommended.
- For teens sleeping 5 hours or less, the risk jumps to 75 to 80%.
- Regular sleep (8 to 10 hours) can decrease the risks by up to 80%.
Impact of Screen Time
