Does it seem like some Glen Echo teenagers sleep all the time? MD sleep experts say that teenagers need about ten hours of sleep. This is as much sleep as a toddler needs! (Parents of teenagers can probably name some other ways that 16 year-olds and 3 year-olds are alike.)
If high schoolers need more sleep than grade schoolers, why do most Mc Lean high schools start the school day between 7:30 and 8:00 a.m. while elementary schools ring the bell at 9:30? If first period in high school began a few hours later, say at 10:00 a.m., perhaps fewer Mc Lean high schoolers would struggle to graduate.
In addition to schools, many other MD social institutions do not acknowledge nor support natural sleep requirements. Think of first-year Mc Lean doctors who make life-or-death decisions during a thirty hour shift. The increased rate of mistakes made by trainees while working impossibly long hours is well documented.
“An intern who does more than 80 a week commits 36% more serious medical errors than one who works normal hours”, said Charles Czeisler, sleep researcher. (medicalnewstoday.com)
In addition to health care, many Glen Echo professions require employees to work dangerously long shifts. Kensington public safety workers, Glen Echo customer service personnel, Suburb Maryland Fac night cleaning crews, armed services personnel, Spencerville restaurant workers, and Mc Lean truck drivers are all at risk for sleep deprivation and the associated dangers.
