Sleep Findings
Sleep deprived children are unable to process and use information as well as those not sleep deprived.
Stryker’s 2001
Recommendations:
Sleeping after learning grows TWICE as many neural dendrites as just learning the material
Average daily sleep needs:
Adolescents – Teens8.5-9.5 hours
Newborn Babies0-2 months: 10.5-18.5 hoursInfants2-12 months: 14-15 hours
Toddler 12-18 months: 13-15 hours18 months-3 years: 12-14 hours
Preschoolers3-5 years: 11-13 hours
1st - 8th Graders (5-12 years)9-11 hours
Mature :On average: 7-9 hours
Sleep Patterns for the Adolescent Brain
•Middle & high school students’ bodies tend to stay up late and sleep in.
• > 50% of high school students in REM sleep after 3 minutes, should take 90 minutes to get there -- Brown U. study
The myelin sheaths surrounding neurons are not fully developed until early age 25 to 30
Use of artificial neurotransmitters, i.e. caffeine, during the first twelve years may interfere with the nervous systems ability to naturally make them for the rest of a person’s life!!
Recommendation:
Brain Finding Imperative
...Refined Sugar, everything of food value has been removed except the carbohydrates-pure calories, without vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats, enzymes or any of the other elements
that make up food
