    Hello, everybody! This week, Shaila Ahmed and I will be hosting the discussion on Brain Rule # 7. We are sharing a number of videos and articles on sleep and the brain. We hope you enjoy them and comment on your approach to sleeping and sleeping patterns. We will start the conversation with this question from this video: 32 years spent sleeping!! A waste of time?

  • From the onset of puberty until late teen years, the brain chemical melatonin, which is responsible for sleepiness, is secreted from approximately 11 p.m. until approximately 8 a.m., nine hours later.

      It may be a justification for a late start of school day for teeagers.

      Well I don't agree with this type of justification. Students should practice the routine of being early risers and benefit the most of everyday.

    This is also a very interesting article on the topic.

    Maria, Interesting article; however, both of the school districts in Laredo have implemented that high school students to begin school at 8:30am. I don't see the logic in this because it all goes back to having discipline on going to bed on time.

    Going through the videos it sounds more like a hormonal change, like it happens from one day to the next. My youngest doesn't sleep where as my teenager is like ones in the video.

    High school students that are not getting enough sleep can have severe consequences in the classroom. A few of those consequences that I can think of are the limitation of student's ability to learn, listen, concentrate and solve problems in class. Sometimes students may forget important information like names, numbers, homework or to study for a major test the next day. It can also probably lead to health problems like skin problems, rashes or even acne. Mood swings can be another bad side effect of lack of sleep. Aggressive or inappropriate behavior such as being impatient with your teachers or other students could lead to classroom issues . Some of the solutions could be as easy as taking power naps through the day. Make sleep a priority over video games or even late night TV shows. Limit your intake of caffeine before going to sleep.The first step is the awareness of the student that there is an issue.

    I am sure we have all seen the students in our classes that fall asleep almost every day.My last period class is always scoring higher than my 1st period class. Could this be that I have students in 4th period that are stronger than my 1st period, maybe. But it seems to happen year in and year out. My students don't seem to start working until after lunch it seems.

    Here is an article is about a teenager who kept a digital diary of her school days.  She regularly gets only 6 hours of sleep a night- 2/3 of how much sleep she should be getting in order to be fully functional.
