Outside activities, social obligations and homework are leading many young people to have sleeping habits that can be detrimental to their development.
As more students do their best to overachieve and prepare for a competitive future, many find it difficult to accomplish their many tasks in a regular day and stay up late into the night. The result is students forgo getting enough sleep. “Most school age students need 8-10 hours of sleep,” said Dr. Daniel Cobb of the Sleep Disorders Center of Northeast Georgia Medical Center.
