Teens Not Sleeping Enough? Blame The Gadgets, Study Says
A new Australian study has found that up to 50-percent of high school juniors and seniors are not sleeping enough. What's to blame this time? Their obsession with gadgets, of course.
For boys in that age range, video games are the main culprit. For girls, cell phones are the most prevalent cause of sleep deprivation. Though the topic of gadget over-use isn't a new one, the high percentage is a major concern.
Lack of sleep affects memory and academic performance, and we all know how crucial the last two years of high school are. Kids...Get some sleep. Parents...Keep the TV in the living room.
Now, if you don't mind, we have a text message about our favorite video game that needs to be sent out before we jump back online... [From: geeksugar]

I agree 100%, i dont sleep enough coz of my gadgets too. I might not be a teen, but mobile gadgets do keep me up at night.

I don't agree.
I blame poor parenting skills. It's their job to make sure that their kids are doing right.
Everyone just needs someone else to lay the blame on.

+1.... Actually, pretty much all the problems I've seen being blamed on teens here on Switched, are really bad parenting problems, but parents won't admit it, no matter what
I know because I got good parents... Back when I was a kid I hated them, but instead of beating me like any bad parent would, they'd just let me be... Eventually I learned for myself.
I got no piercings, no tattoos, wear adequate clothes, use a normal haircut, don't have neither facebook (failbook) or myspace (failspace), not interested at all in them (or drinking, or drugs or anything), and... No, I don't stay up at night with my gadgets. And that is that I got a PDA loaded with games and alot of pron...
(Yeah, I don't get what's wrong with pron... It's a natural thing, just like beard)
