Our team wants to reach out to the community with this great problem that is rising. One way we started to do this, we produced a video telling people of the great effects that can arise by not getting enough sleep as a teenager, which you can watch below. another thing that we did to inform our community was to hang fliers around the city that told them about our shocking discoveries.

We are a group that is interested in teen sleep deprivation. We first were curious of why all our high-school classmates were always tired. We found out through research that this is caused by many things and that the results of not getting enough sleep as a teenager are very costly and can have life long results.

We discovered all the things that keep teens like ourselves from getting enough sleep such as

ipod, tv, cell phone, caffeine, etc.




Through a survey that we distributed at our school we found that only 8% of students were getting the required 9 hours that are needed to be efficiently rested. Also, we found from our survey that most were staying up at night using some of the things listed above.
