Teens not getting enough sleep

There was a news article recently on Teens not getting enough sleep.

Already they are overwhelmed with tuition, homework, late night TVs, PC games, handheld portable games, internet chat and in recents years, what makes it worse is the emergence of MMORPG. For those uninitiated, MMORPG is Massively muliplayer online roleplaying game.

A survey conducted recently on young people in Singapore shows 80 percent are getting less than 8 hours of sleep on school days.

Once teens are not having enough sleep, research shows that they get tense, angry, quick tempered, unable to focus on study, short memory span etc.

It can affect health, performance and safety.

So SLEEP is one important factor to bring out the genius in your child!
Help them to get enough sleep and form good sleeping habits.
