It is so important to their health. One reason that kids aren't getting the quality sleep that they need, is the fact that they fall asleep with a TV or radio on. The flickering light from the TV and the noises from the radio make it difficult to fall asleep. The irregular, unsteady noise also prevents them from getting their deep sleep. One possible alternative if kids can't get the sleep they need at night is they should take naps during the day.
Naps are very refreshing and good for the soul.
Of the 276 Faribault High School students surveyed, a large majority reported falling asleep with either a TV or a radio on. This lessens the quality of sleep, and many psychologists advise not to fall asleep with them on. About 10 percent of the students also reported taking naps. The urge to nap is natural and healthy, but it is recommended that naps should be around a half hour to avoid beginning a new sleep cycle. To this day, many people are uninformed about the dangers and consequences of sleep deprivation.
