Give Teens More Time To Sleep
Eli is 16-years-old. She has been admitted to the high school recently, and is all very excited with classes and the school curriculum. But the problem with Eli is she fights with her mom, almost everyday. Reason: Her time of waking up. Eli's mom is unhappy, and remains angry most of the morning hours, because her daughter is a late riser. And needless to say, there will be a lot like Eli.
But don't you worry folks, for this story will not be another chapter on why you should spend less time sleeping, rather, to the contrary, it will give you the reasons on why you should sleep more. Quizzed, aren't you? Read along.
According to Dr. Paul Kelley, head of the successful Monkseaton Community High in North Tyneside, teenagers should spend more time sleeping, which apparently boosts their concentration levels, and consequently grades in school." Kelley also believes that lack of sleep could affect pupils' mental and physical well-being as well as their education. "Teenagers aren't lazy. We're depriving them of the sleep they need through purely biological factors beyond their control," the Telegraph quoted him as saying.
His view was further substantiated by Professor, chairman of Circadian Neuroscience at Brasenose College, Oxford, who showed that students' brain work better in the afternoon. Foster revealed that body clocks shifted as children enter their teen years, many got up late as they were biologically programmed to do so and not because they were lazy. So, all the teenagers out there reading this. You know it now what should be your explanation the next time when some body has a problem with your sleeping habits.
The research carried out by professor Foster also showed that internal body clock shifts in children from the age of ten. So, he believes that sleeping till a certain extent is good for the young people. “They peak at 20 then gradually go back again, but body clocks do not reach the pre-teenage level until around 55 years old". He adds, “The 'time shift' is two hours on average, so teenagers should get up two hours later". “We are making teenagers ratty by getting them up early." “We are making teenagers ratty by getting them up early," concludes the professor.
