		<description><![CDATA[A study published today found adolescents with bedtimes that were set earlier by parents were significantly less likely to suffer from depression and to think about committing suicide, suggesting that earlier bedtimes could have a protective effect by lengthening sleep duration and increasing the likelihood of getting enough sleep.

Results show that adolescents with parental set bedtimes of midnight or later were 24 percent more likely to suffer from depression and 20 percent more likely to have suicidal ideation than adolescents with parental set bedtimes of 10 p.m. or earlier.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://awakeinamerica.info/2010/top-news/teens-sleep-more-not-suicidal-parents-set-bedtime/' addthis:title='More time in bed may help protect teens against depression and suicidal thoughts '  ><a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a><a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A recently published study shows after a one-hour delay of school start times, teens increased their average nightly hours of sleep and decreased their "catch-up sleep" on the weekends, and they were involved in fewer auto accidents.

When school started an hour later, students averaged from 12 minutes (grade nine) to 30 minutes (grade 12) more self-reported nightly sleep. The percentage of students who got at least eight hours of sleep per weeknight increased from 35.7 percent to 50 percent; students who got at least nine hours of sleep also increased from 6.3 percent to 10.8 percent.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://awakeinamerica.info/2009/top-news/school-start-time-better-sleep-fewer-car-crashes/' addthis:title='Later school start times may improve teens&#8217; sleep, decrease auto accident risk '  ><a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a><a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a></div>]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lack of sleep, excessive television and/or computer screen-time, stress, gambling, alcohol use, tobacco use, and other health-related issues are taking a toll on college students' academic performance, according to a study by the University of Minnesota.


"Our study shows that there is a direct link between college students' health and their academic achievement. This is the first time that anything like this has been published where grade point average (GPA) is linked to all these behaviors," said Dr. Ed Ehlinger, the director and chief health officer of the University of Minnesota Boynton Health Service.<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style " addthis:url='http://awakeinamerica.info/2008/top-news/computer-use-tv-no-sleep-stress-hurt-undergrad-gpa/' addthis:title='Lack of sleep, excessive computer screen-time, stress all hurt college students&#8217; grades '  ><a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a><a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a></div>]]></description>
