sleep loss and its effects on children and teenagers include:

* Sleep loss causes a range of schooling problems, including naughtiness and poor concentration.
* Chronically sleep-deprived teenagers are more likely to have problems with impulse control, which leads to risk-taking behaviours.
* Sleep problems in teenagers are associated with increased risk of disorders such as depression and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).
* High school students who regularly score C, D or F in school tests and assignments get, on average, half an hour less sleep per night than high school students who regularly get A and B grades.
* Later start times at school result in reduced daytime sleepiness, higher grades and reduced negative feelings.
