Sleep Patterns Of Adolescents

Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the tendency of adolescents to stay up later at night and sleep later in the morning, as compared to prepubescent children and adults, is not caused by choice but rather a natural circadian phase delay experienced by adolescents. The author points out that the ability to effectively interact with peers while learning and processing novel information may be diminished in many sleep-deprived adolescents. The paper states that a series of surveys and questionnaires will be used to gather relevant data will be gathered from parents, teachers and school administrators exploring the negative relationship of early start times and the health and well-being of adolescents.

From the Paper:

"Approximately every 90-minute during sleep, the brain goes through four stages of sleep, from light sleep to deep sleep. The most important stage is Rapid Eye Movement (REM) sleep, also called "the dream stage." As you sleep, your brain become aware of the situation and take measures to solve it. Schools are to provide all students with knowledge and the opportunity to achieve regardless of limitations. Schools need to ensure good conditions in which learning takes place. If schools opened later, it would help the grades, attitudes and health of the students."
