"Many studies show students who sleep less suffer academically,
as chronic sleep loss impairs the ability to remember, concentrate,
think abstractly and solve problems. In one of many studies on

higher grades reported sleeping more, going to bed earlier on
school nights and sleeping in less on weekends than students who

“Adolescence is a period of dramatic brain development,
particularly in the parts of the brain that are responsible
for those higher order thinking processes, including

for reining in those impulsive and often risky behaviors
that are so characteristic of adolescence and that are so
terrifying to us parents of teenagers.”
