Sleep-deprived students are prone to depression

Not only do they fall into a state of fatigue, they are also very susceptible to physical injury due to mental confusion due to lack of sleep.

On April 8, the AP news agency reported that a survey by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) of more than 50,000 American high school students in 2007, 2009, 2011 and 2013 showed that students who slept only 5-6 hours per night or more than 10 hours were mentally unfocused.

Ms. Anne Wheaton, an expert at CDC, shared that lack of sleep unexpectedly causes many dangers for teenagers such as depression, side effects or the risk of physical injury due to accidents.

Studies have also shown that sleep-deprived students are more likely to have traffic accidents, work-related injuries or physical activity injuries. According to statistics, about 69% of high school students do not get enough sleep (less than 7 hours/night) and about 2% sleep too much (more than 10 hours/night).

Many medical experts and psychologists have concluded that students should sleep on time and get enough sleep (7-10 hours) combined with daily exercise and stay away from substances containing caffeine and nicotine in the evening to ensure good health. Parents are asked to turn off or keep electronic devices such as televisions, wifi transmitters, and mobile phones away from children to avoid the brain being affected by electromagnetic waves.
