Junk Sleep
"Many adolescents are so hyperstimulated by the Web, iPods, video games, and other electronic pastimes that they don't want to go to bed," says a report in the Sept. 14, 2007, The Week magazine. "Deprived of proper sleep, they doze off while still connected to their electronic inputs… 30 percent of kids 12 to 16 are getting between four and seven hours in rooms full of light from screens, electronic noises, and music, depriving them of the deepest, most restorative sleep cycles."
God created sleep to refresh us, and He wants to give "His beloved sleep" (Psalm 127:2). But we have to do our part!
