The article “Kids With Bedroom Smartphones Sleep Less: Study” by Alan Mozes argues that children with access to smart devices during bedtime hours sleep less. He establishes his argument by stating that smartphones deprive children of sleep more than TV's do and that sleeping anywhere near a smartphone or any light from an electric device can disturb your sleep patterns. He also states that states that not only te light can affect you but also the easy access. having an electronic device near you while you sleep makes you more likely to delay your bedtime in order to send that last text or pass just one more level on a game which can greatly affect you more than you think. In order to get his point across, Mozes uses facts about a certain experiment
Lawrence Epstein, a medical director of Sleep Health Centers in Brighton, Massachusetts and an instructor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, believes that “adequate sleep is essential to feeling awake and alert, maintaining good health, and working at peak performance.” (ww2.kqed.org). Some kids get about 7 hours of sleep and feel tired throughout the day, (sleepfoundation.org). When school is over sometimes the student does not remember what they were told because they were tired in the morning. Kids should be getting about 9 ¼ hours of sleep in order to be productive and successful in
The correlational study will last for about one month. At random the chosen population of children will be divided into a control and experimental group. The experimental group will be the group of children whose parents are asked to put them on a regular sleep cycle for about 4 weeks ensuring that they get at least 8-9 hours of sleep per night. On the other hand, the control group will be the children whose parents are encouraged to let their children sleep as late as possible so that they get less than the appropriate 8-9 hours of rest. Furthermore, both groups will be given three simple cognitive tests consecutively while being observed in a classroom setting.
A report by Newsweek says that “Perpetual lack of sleep is tied to diabetes, heart disease, obesity, depression and a shortened life span in adults, underscoring the importance of establishing good sleep habits early in life”(1). We may be fine without sufficient sleep now, but health consequences will show later in life. Diabetes, heart disease, and obesity are already big problems in America. An article by CNN says that “Adolescents that go to sleep at midnight or later are also more likely to suffer from depression and have suicidal thoughts” (1). The mental health of students at Clarke should not be overlooked.
Quarter 1 Assessment: Annotated Bibliography Thesis Statement: Due to adolescent sleep patterns, school needs to start at 10:00AM Source 1: The UCLA Health website tells how teenage sleep patterns differ from adults, due to changing bodies, and internal sleep clocks. This informational database is based on college research. The title of this page is “Sleep and Teens”.
Sleepless in American is a National Geographic documentary on the lack of sleep Americans are receiving each night. The film starts with the statistic that “40% of American adults are sleep deprived” and followed with different effects of sleep deprivation such as: weight gain, delayed reaction time, depression, anxiety, speeds the growth of cancer, and has been linked to Alzheimer’s disease. Although, there is no scientific evidence to support the need for sleep, it is an important process that allows our bodies to function properly. Several sleep studies have been performed to understand the effects sleep deprivation has on a person. The participants of the sleep trial only received four hours of sleep per night.
Napping is considered a global and highly prevalent phenomenon that is common in infancy and persists into adulthood for a large proportion of the world’s population. Most of those who get less than the recommended 7 or more hours of nighttime sleep often resort to napping during the day, but this ‘catch-up’ can have both a positive and negative impact on a person’s mental and physical condition. INTRODUCTION Attention getter: Remember back when you were a kid, naps were a daily occurrence?
“Attendance, standardize test scores, and academic performance increased, while tardiness, substance abuse, and symptoms of depression decreased” (Hanes). Many health issues can occur from not getting enough sleep. Although, these issues do not occur when students get the correct amount of sleep. “Sleep is critical to brain development, memory function, and cognitive skills especially among children and teenagers” (Experts). Some of the difficulties resulting from sleep deprivation are impaired alertness and attention, difficulty to solve problems, cope with stress, and retain information.
As mentioned by the National Sleep Foundation, teens not getting enough sleep can lead to a likelihood of experiencing depressed moods, and a risk of metabolic and nutritional deficits like obesity (“School Start Time and Sleep”). This means not only are the teens being negatively affected physically, but not enough sleep is also taking a toll on their mental health. In Rachel Feeley’s article she writes about her worries of kids not being able to participate in sports or extra-curricular activities if the school start times delay. However, her statement proves to be quite ironic since by worrying about the students’ health, Feeley is forgetting the negative aspects of early wake up
According to Harvard T.H Chan, 60.000 slim women were followed for 16 years, and researchers showed that everyone who sleeps 5 hours and less have the risk to be obese by 15% for several reasons. Let 's imagine together, if someone sleeps for 5 hours at night, do you think he/she would have the energy to exercise? No! So, burned calories are decreased which lead
Most children who have poor sleep cycle probably binge-watch their favorite TV show before bedtime. Bing watching becomes a habit after a while and it could start to affect a child daily routine. Those children with poor sleep cycle are most likely to suffer from childhood obesity. Obesity is not only caused by sugar and calorie intake but how the body process different chemicals. Children are supposed to have at least 8 hours of sleep every night if their body is not rested it won 't function well.
Introduction Good morning everyone. I’m Nur Atiqah binti maznan and today I will deliver a speech title ‘People should care more about sleep’ Most of us in this class will say that we not get enough sleep because of all assignments, lab reports and so on like just now. So, we called this situation as sleep deprivation which means a condition where people not get enough sleep. We are in the same shoes, so no worries. A research from Brown University stated that, from a survey they conducted to a group of college student, 11% student have a good sleep but the rest which is 73% from the same study were found to have a sleep problem.
Introduction: Typically, college students falling in the category of young adults should be getting anywhere from seven to nine hours of sleep per night. However, that is not the case, especially of students transitioning into their first year of college. Sleep is an essential component in our everyday lives, as much of a necessity as oxygen or water. Getting the proper amount of sleep provides many useful functions for the human body, such as the ability to retain memories and knowledge and heavily impacts our decision making (Gilbert and Weaver, 2010). Due to the fact that many students have a hard time transitioning into college, many lose the required sleep needed, thus the functions it provides resulting in a sleep deprivation.
Obesity in children is a significant public health concern. In addition, there is evidence that the incidence of children who are overweight is increasing despite efforts to the contrary. The consequences of child obesity are far reaching, implicating not only children on a physical scale but also socially and mentally. However,
THE IMPORTANCE OF SLEEPING WELL Hello everybody, I’m going to speak about the most time-consuming activity in our lives: sleeping. As a matter of fact, we usually don’t pay much attention to the quality of our sleep, in spite of influencing a big deal our performance during the day, our health and well-being, in other words, our quality of life. That’s the reason why I would like to introduce some interesting material to understand better this important though disregarded necessity.
