Recommended: Effects of sleep deprivation on school performance research studies

Hi stemians! My article for you today discusses the importance of children getting adequate sleep. The human body needs to get plenty of rest to function properly. Sleep is needed to keep us healthy. As a teacher, I constantly see students come to school who are tired because they didn't get a full night of rest. Because of this, they have problems staying awake in class, don't do as well on their schoolwork, and are unenthusiastic about being at school.

# Children Need Sleep To Maintain Health
##
The amount of sleep children need is different than the amount adults need. Young infants require more sleep than older children. Children need to get plenty of sleep to aid them in growth and development. They need sleep to be able to function properly when at school and during daily activities. How much rest a child needs depends on their age. Children under 5 years old usually need more time sleeping than children ages 5 to 10 years old.

It is not a healthy practice to let children go to bed at midnight. Even if a child claims to not be sleepy or is busy watching television, parents should enforce a proper bedtime. Irregular sleep patterns can have negative impacts on the body and mind of a child. Children who don’t get enough sleep wake up with a gloomy face and may be moody. Parents may have a hard …show more content…

For young children (under the age of 5), naps may be needed to ensure they get enough rest. Young children may get tired out easily after playing and need naps to feel re-energized. Kids should also be put to bed at a decent hour at night. Midnight is considered very late for a bedtime so put your children to bed earlier to ensure they get enough sleep before the early morning hours when older children go to school. You’ll find that children who get a good nights sleep wake up early more easily, are more eager to go to school, will perform better in school, and will not feel drowsy during their

  • Later School Start Times

    1404 Words  | 3 Pages

    All children need sleep and want sleep during the weekdays and that is very difficult. It has been noticed that older students and younger students, such as third graders and eleventh graders, sleep patterns are very different. In many places it is the same way that middle schools and high school start earlier than elementary schools. The problem is that adolescents stay up at least two and a half hours later than younger children do (Bergin 2). Older kids stay up for various reasons and younger children can fall asleep easier and earlier than high school students. Kids from elementary school all the way to high school tend to get up at relatively the same time but as stated before older kids go to sleep later than younger children. Ages 3-17 children tend to get up at the same time which is 7 a.m. (Bergin 1). The sleep patterns differ between high school students and elementary students but they are also very different between students and teachers.

    Dusk didn’t quite turn out as well as we hoped it would have. To the group being presented to, mystery was not their thing. They prefered straight forward answers and bright, more popular choices. Our attempt at a more mysterious drink that makes you curious didn’t go over well with the group of students that voted over the drinks. We left off the nutrition label in order to cause some wonder; and, we figured that not many people read it anyway. Another thing we did was made the drink dark and had the catchphrase, “As Flavorful as the Night is Eventful” (although not advertised well), and “Drink Like a Beast” to symbolize activities, strength, and enjoyment. Our commercial was made to represent a fun night with friends and how Dusk will make your night even better; that it tastes as great as the night is eventful.

  • Wake Up! Sleep is Necessary

    Much of society mistakenly believes that each individual needs eight hours of sleep in order to have a full night’s rest. This is untrue because the amount of sleep you need has a large dependence on the many factors that influence healthy energy. Age is a large indicator of how much sleep is relevant to an individual. Studies done by Milner (2008), “Benefits of napping and an extended duration of recovery sleep on alertness and immune cells after acute sleep restriction” show that an adult needs nine hours a day in order to carry out work productively, feel rejuvenated, and maintain contented moods. In contrast, infants tend to need more time to rest their bodies even though they are less active. A young baby spends 2/3rds of their day

  • Sleep and The Effect It Has On Academic Performance

    676 Words  | 2 Pages

    When children make the transition from primary school to middle school or high school, it affects them a lot when the changing of their own sleep cycle affects the way they actually learn. Dr. Judith Owens, who is the director of the Sleep Medicine Clinic at Children's National Medical Center in Washington, D.C., says "adolescents are programmed to fall asleep later,” (2013). She wants to change school start times to later because "we are asking [teens] to be awake and alert at the time in their 24-hour clock when their alertness level is at its very lowest,” (2013). She also says that most teens can’t usually fall asleep until 11 p.m. Sleep expert Amy Wolfson of College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Mass., says that children should try to get eight and a half to nine and a half hours of sleep a night. Waking up at six a.m. leads to bad sleep patterns creating sleep deprivation.
