Faridabad: The Department of Mental Health & Behavioral Sciences, Fortis Healthcare under the guidance of Dr Samir Parikh, Director, conducted a survey amongst 550 school-going teenagers. A structured survey comprising 15 questions was administered to gain an understanding of the various variables associated with sleep patterns and bed time behavior among students in schools of Delhi.
The survey results show that for a majority of teenagers today, waking up in time every morning has become one of the biggest hurdles. Despite being aware that their bodies need at least seven to nine hours of sleep per day, many students forego their precious hours of sleep. They exhibit erratic sleeping patterns and get less sleep due to late night chats on their mobiles, checking their handsets in the middle of sleep, spending time on social media, watching movies or using their laptops to browse the net late into the night.
