If your teen sleeps till 2 in the afternoon, it might not be that bad after all. Teens who are deprived of sleep have a higher chance of having suicidal thoughts and becoming depressed. CBS News states, “Researchers at the Columbia University Medical Center in New York found that earlier bedtimes can help protect adolescents from such tendencies.”
Teens who went to bed after midnight “were 24 percent more likely to suffer from depression and 20 percent more apt to have thoughts of suicide, compared to those with bedtimes of 10 p.m. or earlier.” This study confirms the fact that an appropriate amount of sleep is extremely important for anyone, but especially for teens.
