Article about teenagers and sleep problems
Sleep disorders are more common and increasing among young people.
This is demonstrated by a survey by Borge Sivertsen, published in the
Journal of Sleep Research, which shows that 34 percent of female students
and 22 percent of males suffer from insomnia and, therefore, do not reach
the nine hours of satisfactory sleep to keep healthy their bodies. These
sleep disorders are also caused by the constant use of technological
devices, such as smartphones and tablets, before going to sleep which, by
emitting a very strong light against our eyes, disturb our sleep and make it
difficult for us to fall asleep. Solutions that could help us defeat insomnia
and various sleep disorders would certainly be the non-use of technological
devices before going to sleep and avoiding binges at dinner.
