Guest guest Posted February 24, 2002 Report Share Posted February 24, 2002 Hi You're right, most kids don't get enough sleep these days. I did some research on teenagers and sleep, and we found, like overseas studies, that teenagers get way less sleep than they need. It seems the same for younger kids too, now that they watch lots of TV, have busy lives with sport, extra school tutoring, and for younger kids, being disturbed by the busy lives of everyone else in the house. It seems very reasonable to think that a lack of sleep would compound any other problems they might have, medical or otherwise. I'm with you - tho my children are very young, it's lovely to cuddle them and watch them drop off for their sleeps! And sometimes, if I'm lucky, I get a sleep too!
