Lack of sleep can be very damaging to your health, as research shows that people who have been sleeping for six hours have fallen in cognitive ability as if they were staying all night without being aware of themselves. In particular, sleep deprivation in children with brain development is serious worldwide, and Wendy Hall, a professor of nursing at the University of British Columbia, has emphasized its importance.

The first thing to understand is that teen boys and girls are in a growing process and their brain is in a developing stage, so they need more sleep than adults. Also, the rhythm of sleep and waking up is different from that of adults, and melatonin release is slow, so it takes a long time to get to sleep at night, late to sleep, and it also takes time to get up in the morning. In addition, social networking sites, online chats, browsing, etc. affect the students as well as the pressure of study. On the other hand, parents tend to have less control over their children's bedtime.

As a result of experts reevaluating the results of 864 studies of children's sleeping time and health, children aged 13-18 years sleep 8-10 hours on a 24-hour basis to be fully healthy It is shown that you need it. However, so far research of, 53% of the children of the day there is a school that does not take only less than 8 hours sleep we've found . Also, limiting the range to the US only takes about 5% of the children who can only sleep as recommended and exercise and have limited screen time. We also know that as we get older we tend not to keep up with this recommended time.

Since the brains of teenage boys and girls are at a developmental stage, their thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships change greatly, and brain connections are involved in the development of thinking power and changes in brain signals. And changes in the balance of the brain system can put children at risk, or they can develop a reward system. On the other hand, children's stress response system is mature and responds to many stresses. A study in 2016 says that less than 8 hours of sleep increases the risk of suicide, overweight, risk of self-harm, distraction and poor performance. On the other hand, Hall points out that sleeping for more than 9 hours has been shown to be associated with higher life satisfaction, fewer health problems, and better family relationships for teenage children .

Avoiding looking at the screen of the device before going to bed, and exercising are both recommended to promote children's sleep. Parents need to take steps such as releasing the charging pad and charging cable from the child's bed, and after the evening, it is important for the family to do some relaxing activities, and to encourage the child's sleep, Hallall said.
