Hard Lesson in Sleep for Teenagers

Within a week of my grandsons’ �irst year in high school, getting enough sleep had already become an issue.Their concerned mother ques-tioned whether lights out at mid-night or 1 a.m. and awakening at 7 or 7:30 a.m. to get to school on time provided enough sleep for 14-year-olds to navigate a demanding school day.

The boys, of course, said “yes,” especially since they could “catch up” by sleeping late on weekends. But the profession-al literature on the sleep needs of adolescents says otherwise. Few Americans these days get the hours

-Jane E. Brody

of sleep optimal for their age, but experts agree that teenagers are more likely to fall short than anyone else.Researchers report that the average adolescent needs eight and a half to nine and a half hours of sleep each night. But in a poll taken in 2006 by the National Sleep Foundation, less than 20% reported getting that much rest on school nights.With the profusionof personalelectronics, the current % is believed to beeven worse. A study in Fairfax,Va., found that only 6% of childrenin the 10th grade and only

A ruffled mind makes a restless pillow. ~Charlotte Brontë

3% in the 12th grade get the reccomended

amount of sleep.Two in three

teens were found to be

severely sleep-deprived, losing2 or more hours

of sleep every night. The causes can be

biological, behavioral, orenvironmental. And the effect on the well-being of adolescents -on their health and academic potential- can be profound, according to a policy state-ment issued in August by the American Academy of Pediatrics. “Sleep is not optional. It’s a health imperative, like eating, breathing, and physical activity,” Dr. Judith Owens,

the statement’s lead author, said in an interview. “This is a huge issue for adolescents.” Insuf�icient sleep in adolescence increases the risks of high blood pressure and heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and obesity, said Dr. Owens, pediatric sleep specialist at Children’s National Health System in Washington. Sleeplessness is also linked to risk-tak-ing behavior, depression and suicidal ideation, and car accidents. “Lack of

sleep can be fatal,” she said. “The level of impairment associated with sleep-deprived driving is equivalent to driving drunk. Would you let a kid drive who just consumed three or four beers? Well, guess what — kids do that every day.” She recommends that parents make getting enough sleep a condition for permission to drive. School start times don’t help the situation. In a 2008 study in Virginia Beach, where classes began at 7:20 to 7:25 a.m., the crash rate for 16- to 18-year-olds was 41 percent higher than in adjacent Chesapeake, Va., where school started at 8:40 to 8:45. The lead author of the study, Dr. Robert Vorona of Eastern Virginia Medical School in Norfolk, suggest-ed that starting the school day later could result in less sleep depriva-tion and more alert drivers. Insuf�icient sleep also impairs judgment, decision-making skills and the ability to curb impulses, which are “in a critical stage of development in adolescence,” Dr. Owens said. And with the current intense concern about raising academic achievement, it is worth noting that a study by Kyla Wahlstrom of 9,000 students in eight Minnesota public high schools showed that starting school a half- hour later resultedin an hour’s more sleepa night and an increase inthe students’ grade pointaverages and standardizedtest scores. “When the students were more alert,they were able to get their work done faster and thusget to bed earlier,” Dr. said.“It takes a sleepy student 5hours to do 3 hrs of hw.

“The mind travels far, and mysteriously, in sleep.”

-Mary Augusta Ward

sleep poemsShine -Greta RobinsonShine as a source of endless light

whose rainbows of colour deter the nightwhere daydreams are gentle as doves in flight

and sleep the sleep of angelsShine like a shower of soft moonbeamsInhabit the sea of a thousand dreams

where laughter and love are timeless themesand sleep the sleep of angels

Shine like the sun in a golden skyOn warm, sultry evenings, a fragrance, a sigh

an echo of summer as life passes byand sleep the sleep of angels

Blurry thoughts, hurried thoughts, they need to settle down. Too tired to move, to worn out to groove, I'm frustrated all around. Crazy voice, I have no choice, I want to surrender to sweet sleep.

Twisted thinking, racing blinking, my mind is an overgrown trash heap. Eyes wide, I cannot hide, the redness of my inflaming anger

Too little relief, too much grief, the warning signs flash Danger danger. I'm on overload, so I am told, need to shut my lethargic eyes.

Trying to sleep, car horns beep. can't they hear my cries. My body is done, before the day has begun and it's only half past nine.
