SCHUM MONUMENTS, INC. Dale, Indiana www.SchumMonuments.com 812-937-4921 Local Representative RONALD WOODS 812-789-2009 OBITUARIES Continued from page 4 Is your teen getting enough sleep? If not, it could be impacting their life in neg- ative ways. According to webmd.com, lack of sleep is one of the top sources of stress for teens. The recommended amount of sleep for teens in order to function and perform well is 9 to 9 -and-a-half hours of sleep. A whopping 91 percent of teens do not achieve the required hours. Although, the majority of teens get less than recommend- ed amounts of sleep, almost 75 percent of parents are unaware that their children are sleep-deprived due to various reasons. The question most likely coming to mind for most parents is, "Why is my teen not get- ting enough sleep? " The first situation keeping students away from a restful night is a jam-packed schedule. While being involved in extra- curricular activities can have many ben- efits for a teen's social development and mental well-being, there are also down- falls. If they are constantly moving from activity to activity while trying to juggle school work, family time, and friends, they may have limited time to sleep. The second factor playing a role in sleep deprivation is having a digital device near their bed. It's true that we live in a tech- nology driven world, but your teen's screen time could be cutting into much needed sleep time. I've had students share that they even go as far as keeping the sound turned on their phones at night so they can wake up if someone sends them a message. Others have shared that they regularly play video games past midnight. These behaviors are becoming more and more popular, but oftentimes teens do not realize how their screen time is impact- ing sleep. Encouraging your teen to limit screen time, especially at night, can help establish healthy routines. There is much research on how sleep deprivation affects teens. They are in a crucial developmental period, and sleep is extremely important to their brain de- velopment and well-being. When a teen does not receive the ade- quate amount of sleep per night there is a higher probability he/she will experi- ence one or more of the following conse- quences: • Increased risk of injury • Inability to self-regulate behaviors • Decreased ability to focus in school • Increased risk of depression • Increased risk of drug or alcohol use • Increased risk of obesity Don't worry! While there are a number of potential consequences, there are also a number of symptoms to warn the teen and his/her guardian that they may be facing sleep deprivation. Behaviors to look out for include, but are not limited to: • Difficulty concentrating • More easily displays aggression/ anger • Misses more days of school than normal • Exhibits laziness • Falls asleep in class or while doing homework • Sleeps two or more hours later on weekends • Naps for more than 45 minutes regularly If these symptoms are making you think of a teen you know, it may be the time to talk about the importance of sleep. Con- vincing a teen to limit their screen time MAE CAROLYN BOGER (McMULLEN) Mae Carolyn Boger (Mc- Mullen), 89, gained her an- gel wings on Friday, Decem- ber 21, 2018, at Golden Liv- ing Center in Petersburg.
