A recent CDC report reveals a troubling trend in sleep deprivation among high school students, showing a decrease in those achieving eight or more hours of sleep, dropping from 32% in 2013 to 23% in 2023. The report highlights disparities across demographics, with LGBTQ+ students sleeping the least at 16%. The CDC underscores the importance of sleep in reducing stress and improving health outcomes, recommending teens receive eight to ten hours of sleep per night to combat chronic illness risks. Parents are encouraged to prioritize their teen’s sleep to support their well-being.
More than 3 in 4 high school students aren't getting enough sleep, with rates of those sleeping eight hours or more declining from 32% in 2013 to just 23% in 2023.
The CDC recommends that most teens get eight to 10 hours of sleep each night, as sufficient rest reduces stress, improves mood, and enhances overall health.
