It is generally supposed that if you are sleepy during the day, no more night sleep will make you less sleepy. I do not think that anyone, from sleep scientists to the general public, are disagreement. At least, I did not think that I would not agree until recently, when I read surprising discoveries on the sleep of adolescents.

Sleeping researcher Mary Carskadon and her colleagues characterized biological changes associated with psychosocial pressures as creating a “perfect storm” leading to an epidemic of drowsiness and the negative consequences associated for post-pubertal adolescents. Biological changes prevent them from being able to fall asleep early enough to sleep enough, given the hours of early schools. Further away, social networks The use and the anxieties that he often induce are frequently blamed for having stolen the essentially necessary sleep time.

There are many serious consequences of loss of sleep, including a lower school realization, emotional, behavioral and health problems, and more risk of accidents during driving begin. All these elements were well documented in literature on sleep research. Many remedies have been proposed, including better education On the importance of taking enough sleep, narrower parental surveillance and sleep regulation and convincing school districts to start school later. The proof of effectiveness of these remedies has increased, with encouraging results. If adolescents and pre -adolescents sleep, several aspects of their lives will improve.

Despite all the encouraging evidence, definitive proof of the long -term positive effects of these remedies is difficult to obtain. Randomized control studies such as those required for medical and pharmaceutical treatments are not possible for many sleep interventions, apart from those of sleep disorders such as sleep apnea and narcolepsy. The measurement of the results of sleep interventions aimed at improving the sleep and well-being of adolescents often rely on self-assessments-Tip the participants in the study to what extent they are sleepas they are sleepy, and that they feel more or less anxious And depressed. Objective measures of these results is more difficult and costly, so fewer studies have been carried out. Objective measures of other results, such as school attendance, delay, notes and results of standardized tests, have shown promising results.

A series of studies by the researcher of the Sleep Lab Ian Campbell and the colleagues of the University of California in Davis, produced surprising and counterprint results. Research conceptions are as rigorous as those I saw for the study of drowsiness in adolescence. In a study, the age of the participants varied from 9 to 20 years, and each person was studied each year for three years. The younger children were evaluated each year by pediatricians to determine the Tanner stage – the method of determining pubertal maturation. The participants kept three different sleep hours in their homes: 7, 8.5 and 10 hours in bed for four consecutive nights. During the second and fourth nights, the EEG during sleep was watched at home. After the fourth night, they went to a laboratory where they were administered to the multiple sleep latency test (MSLT), an objective measure of drowsiness, at four times different: 9:30 am; 11:30 am; 1:30 p.m.; and 3.30 p.m.

The results have shown that EEG (drop in Delta power) changes with increasing age during adolescence, probably linked to the synaptic pruning of neurons that has been proven for a long time during this development period. During the first periods of growth, the brain establishes more and more connections. The pruning process that occurs during adolescence makes the brain more effective while reducing neural “white noise”. These structural changes, in turn, are offered to be linked to Gonadal changes hormones associated with puberty. In the study, drowsiness increased sharply until the age of 14 and has not increased more at the end of adolescence and the young adult. The surprising discovery – the paradox – was that there was a drop in more sleep to reduce diurnal sleepiness as participants were aging. In other words, adolescents and older adults remained just as sleepy, even when they were sleeping more. The authors suggest that synaptic pruning decreases brain -monitoring activity and produces lower excitement, leading to more drowsiness.

The involvement is clear that even with the best attempts to relegate the psychosocial environment for adolescents thanks to a better education on the need for sleep, an education on how to achieve it, education on the deleterious effects of social media and how to control it, start school later, and any other method, many adolescents can always be too sleepy to have a health and optimal performance that we all want When they get what is considered an optimal sleep.
