Research shows that their is a clear connection between poor grades and limited amount of sleep. More than twenty five percent of teenagers receive less than 6.5 hours sleep per night. Most sleep experts state adolescents need at least 9.5 hours. This means teens need to be in bed or asleep by 9pm which does sound early, however, this is due to early school times.

Many research studies on sleep state poor sleep habits are connected to: depression, ADHD, ADD, Anxiety, Anger, and emotional problems.

The truth is difficult to swallow for most adolescents and teenagers but this is the reality and the more your teen or adolescent gets close to 9.5 hrs per night the better.
