I'm writing an interactive discussion about homework for the fifth graders today and for it I just researched sleep.
Did you know giraffe's sleep the least of all mammals? 10 minutes to 2 hours in every 24 hour period.
Did you know children 9-12 need 10-11 hours of sleep. That means Aidan needs to go to sleep by 8 p.m. at night. Does he ever get that much? No! Did you know sleep depriv. causes ADHD, insomnia, risk for greater injury from small accidents, night terrors, binge eating.
SHOCK!!! I KNOW! Great studies online...
Did you know teens need 9.5 hours. Do you know 85% of teens are operating each day under the terms pathological exhaustion which means their sleep patterns (REM vs NREM) mimic that of narcaleptics?
So in honor of this study, I'm napping.

And I shall join you! It's too bad I can't get the kiddos to take this information more seriously.
