According to a new study which got released first at the Australasian Sleep Conference, teens are not getting enough sleep due to watching TV, playing video games and listening to music in bed.

Associate Prof Kurt Lushington, of UniSA School of Psychology, says:

“Sleep is very important for learning and memory, particularly in year 12 when pressure is on to perform. A lot of kids are reporting that they’re tired when they wake up and there are quite a few reporting they’re sleepy during the day.”
