During the teen years, all young people accept the responsibility of driving. Driving is a wonderful, freeing experience for teens. But should an adolescent fall asleep behind the wheel because the person is so sleep deprived, an accident may occur. While many be very lucky and only dent the can and receive a few bruises, they could also kill themselves, their friends, or an innocent stranger who was coincidentally also driving at the same time. All aspects of a teenager's life, social, educational, and business related, cause lack of sleep.
Lack of sleep can lead to problems in school and on the job, sickness, and possible even death.
This need for sleep is caused by the continued pressure on them to be the best, and do everything they can in order to achieve success. This is dangerous, as it teaches them that sleep is unimportant as long as they are able to get a little more done during the day. Eventually the teenagers of today will be adults. Adults, who are in consent need of sleep, cannot run a society with efficiency.
