PREFACE
About This Book
Various statistics show that approximately 70 million people in the United States suffer from chronic sleep problems. Lack of sleep is associated with injuries, chronic diseases, mental illnesses, poor quality of life and well-being, increased health-care costs, and lost work productivity. According to the statistics provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than two-thirds of U.S. high school students report getting less than eight hours of sleep on school nights. Short sleep duration (<8 hours) is lowest among ninth graders and highest among twelfth graders. According to the survey conducted by the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), adults who got inadequate sleep (<7 hours of sleep per 24-hour period) were more likely to report 10 chronic health conditions, including being obese, physically inactive, and smokers, when compared to people who got enough sleep.
Sleep Health Information for Teens, Third Edition provides basic consumer information about sleep, the link between sleep and health, various sleep habits, common sleep disorders, and their symptoms, causes, diagnosis, and treatments. It also includes information on how everyday life habits affect sleep and the consequences of sleep deprivation. The book concludes with a list of resources for additional help and information.
