"Americans are said to be a sleep-deprived people, and teenagers are the worst of the lot. Most are lucky to get 6, 7 or 8 hours of sleep a night, even though studies have shown repeatedly that people in their teens and possibly even early 20's need 9 to 10 hours. Many live in a state of chronic sleep deficit that can affect mood, behavior, schoolwork and reaction time."
