Teens with Personal TVs Sleep Less

by TanYA on Monday, September 1st, 2008

According to  Prof. Yael Letzer, Dr. Tamar Shohat and Prof. Orna Chishinsky of the Jezreel Valley College in Israel, putting a television in a teens room is not a great idea. A study  conducted on 444 middle-school pupils proved that those with personal televisions’ slept less and ate more than those without.

“The average bedtime of those studied was 23:04 p.m., and the average time slept was seven hours and 41 minutes. On weekends, the average bedtime was 1:45 p.m., with the average time slept increasing to nine hours and 45 minutes. Those with personal TVs went to sleep half an hour later but woke up at the same time.”
