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.
The 2020 SkyWell Strive for a Safe Drive campaign focuses on being a good friend in the car. Friends can be helpful, or they can be distractions to the driver.
Friends buckle up, and avoid loud music, sharing food, and sharing text images while the car is in motion. Friends speak up when they feel unsafe for any reason.
