Are you getting enough sleep to be your best?
The National Sleep Foundation reports that America's adolescents (6th-12th grade) are not getting the sleep they need, and this lack of sleep gets worse as they progress through their teen years. According to our study -
- Just one in five adolescents get an optimal nine hours of sleep on school nights; nearly one-half (45%) sleep less than eight hours on school nights.
- More than half of adolescents report feeling too tired or sleepy during the day.
- More than half of adolescents say they know they get less sleep than they need to feel their best.
- Nine out of 10 parents believe their adolescent is getting enough sleep at least a few nights during the school week, leaving an "awareness gap" between parents and teens.
Sleep health is important for adolescents to maintain optimal energy and a healthy lifestyle.
SkyWell reminds you to get the rest you need!
