In this edition of SchoolTV – The Power of Sleep

Overview of this edition: The Power of Sleep

Sleep is essential for a young person’s mental health, wellbeing, learning and development. However, many children and teenagers today are not getting enough quality sleep due to increased screen time, social media, gaming and busy lifestyles. When young people sleep well, they are generally happier, more focused, emotionally regulated and better prepared for school and daily life. Healthy sleep also supports memory, learning, immune function and overall development. In contrast, ongoing sleep deprivation can affect mood, behaviour, attention and academic performance.

For teenagers especially, adequate sleep is critical during this important stage of brain and emotional development. Supporting healthy sleep habits is one of the most important ways to protect a young person’s wellbeing.
