Sleep deprivation can ruin your health

Teenagers nowadays are getting lesser and lesser sleep. These are mainly because of some reasons. In Polytechnic, students often face with lots of project work that need longer time to be done but need to pass up soon. Projects also causes stress to students, causing them to get not enough rest for the next day.

Another reason why teenagers are getting lesser and lesser sleep is because of the internet. Internet has become an important factor in teenager's daily life. For example Facebook, teenagers stay up til late night to use Facebook, to view other people profile or chat to their friends on Facebook thus they ended up sleeping late and waking early. Gaming is another factor. Computer games are addictive, and once teens get hook up with computer games, they would not want their hands to leave their keyboard. Popular addictive games such as DOTA or Maplestory are perfect example.

Teenagers should be educated the danger of not getting enough sleep. Sickness such as depression is what we will get if we did not get enough sleep. Teens should set sleeping as their priority, as for teens we need around 9 hours of sleep in order to be energetic. Gaming and Facebook-ing can be set aside to the next day, it's no harm exchanging the time you played computer games with sleeping, and in fact it benefits you. Sleep early and get more rest, will result in you getting more energetic for the next day, and you will be energized to play your game. Parents should educate them and let them know the benefits of sleeping early.
