With so much to do in a day and so little time to do it in, few people get enough sleep, including teenagers. Sleep deprivation, in most, can lead to many negative side effects, but for teens it could be dire. Lack of sleep has been linked to the increasing rates of anxiety and depression among teens, as well as, an increase in suicidal thoughts and actual suicide. Teens who aren’t getting enough sleep are also more likely to be involved in car crashes, and have a higher risk of being injured during sporting activities.
