Sleepy teensWhy do teens have more

sleep problems?

Do you know what “internal

clock” means??

It is a system in the body that controls the occurrence of natural

processes (such as waking, sleeping, and aging)

During puberty the teenager’s internal clock changes and

they have sleeping problems.

Most of the teens need 9 hours of sleep but few manage to get that much.

There are some reasons for that like:early morning classes, homework, use of computers, extra curricularactivities and social demands.

And the sleep deprivation can have many serious consequences like narcolepsy, eating disorders, behavioral problems, skin problems, depression...
