Why do you think that so many people (both teens and adults) have so much trouble getting enough sleep these days? Talk about yourself, your friends and peers, and your family members. Get specific!
Many of my peers, including myself find themselves struggling to get enough sleep each night. Some of this is due to the fact that the students are involved in so many after school activities and jobs and then have to come home and complete homework as well as study for tests. In addition, social networking is a big distraction and causes students to stay up later so that they can chat with their friends via Facebook. Teens begin to lose track of the time and find themselves staying up very late, which becomes a terrible habit that lasts for the entire school year. Adults as have trouble getting sleep because of the late hours that their job might require and the commute between work and home everyday. I personally do not get enough sleep because I like to watch television once I am done with my homework which can get as late as midnight on a school night and even later on the weekends. I procrastinate with doing my homework so much and then find myself finishing late, but still wanting to watch television once I am done. Overall, there are many reasons that people do not get enough sleep, but I think it is so prevalent in teens due to the fact that they have so much going on in their lives academically and socially.
