Sleep is extremely important for helping the brain to work normally, and this is especially the case for teenagers. According to the National Sleep Foundation, only 15% of teens get the recommended 8½ hours of sleep on school nights. When teens don’t get enough sleep, they will be prone to suffer from consequences such as an inhibited ability to learn and concentrate, moodiness, behavior problems, and drowsy driving. None of these conditions are ideal in the school environment, so wise administrators and teachers look for ways to teach kids about healthy sleep habits.
These colorful posters are packed with facts and persuasive images to help teens get the message that more sleep will help them do better in school. If students get more sleep, the school may see a myriad of positive results. In fact, one school in Kentucky reported a 17% drop in student car crashes two years after administrators changed the start of school to one hour later, effectively allowing teens to sleep a bit longer.
