TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - Sleep Deprivation: Consequences for Students JO - Journal of psychosocial nursing and mental health services A1 - Marhefka, Julie King SP - 20 EP - 25 VL - 49 IS - 9 N2 - During the adolescent years, a delayed pattern of the sleep-wake cycle occurs. Many parents and health care providers are not aware that once established, these poor sleep habits can continue into adulthood. Early school hours start a pattern of sleep loss that begins a cycle of daytime sleepiness, which may affect mood, behavior, and increase risk for accidents or injury. These sleep-deprived habits established in adolescence can often lead to problems during college years. Sleep hygiene can be initiated to help break the cycle, along with education and implementation of a strict regimen. Monitoring all adolescents and college-aged students for sleep insufficiency is imperative to improve both academic and emotional well-being.
