As a matter of fact, most of the teens that I know go to sleep even later than I do. I must admit between talking on the phone for hours and staying out late on weekends, sometimes we teens cause our own lack of sleep. Because, I am sick and tired of being sick and tired. I am a living testament to the medical fact that inadequate sleep makes people more susceptible to illnesses. Teens in general, are exhausted.
Some teens pack more into one day than adults do in a month.
For me, it's getting to the point where I crave sleep more than I do food. If I need some sleep, why don't I just go take a nap. How I wish it were that simple. I, along with other teens, can't seem to find a particular part of our day that would allow us to even think about taking a nap. It's no wonder, in classrooms across the country, teens can be seen dozing as their teachers are trying to explain the quadratic equation.
