Sleep Deprivation, "a sufficient lack of restorative sleep over a cumulative period so as to cause physical or psychiatric symptoms and affect routine performances of tasks." says the free dictionary by farlax. Teens are suppose to be getting 8-81/2 hours of sleep per night. A study done by the the national sleep foundation said that only 15% of teens get 81\2 hours of sleep on school nights. In an interview with junior Meghan Meserole she said "I get a maximum of 5-6 hours maybe a night. I just have so much homework all the time and I just have to get it done." And me personally by the time i get home from all my actvitys and get my homework done I get about 5 hours of sleep. Not getting enough sleep can affect your learning. You may actually start forgetting important things like names and numbers. Lack of sleep can also contribute to acne. Lack of sleep doesn't only affect you mentally, but also physically.
