Name at least 3 things that cause teens to deprive themselves from getting enough sleep


  • hormonal time shift – puberty hormones shift the teenager’s body clock forward by about one or two hours, making them sleepier one to two hours later. Yet, while the teenager falls asleep later, early school starts don’t allow them to sleep in. This nightly ‘sleep debt’ leads to chronic sleep deprivation
  • using screen based devices – smart phones
  • hectic after-school schedule – homework, sport, part-time work and social commitments can cut into a teenager’s sleeping time
  • leisure activities – the lure of stimulating entertainment such as television, the internet and computer gaming can keep a teenager out of bed.
  • light exposure – light cues the brain to stay awake. In the evening, lights from televisions, mobile phones and computers can prevent adequate production of melatonin, the brain chemical (neurotransmitter) responsible for sleep
  • vicious circle – insufficient sleep causes a teenager’s brain to become more active. An over-aroused brain is less able to fall asleep.
  • social attitudes – in Western culture, keeping active is valued more than sleep
  • sleep disorder – sleep disorders, such as restless legs syndrome or sleep apnoea, can affect how much sleep a teenager gets.
