Sleepy Kids

Are Your Students Sleep-Deprived?, The World blog, May 8, 2013, reports:

A new international study concludes that western countries have the most sleep-deprived children. The study, conducted by researchers at Boston College, attributes this conclusion to the overabundance of technology children in affluent countries enjoy, which contributes to these wired children going to sleep later and getting insufficient rest when they do finally fall asleep.

That's one more factor to keep in mind when thinking about how to help students learn and grow.
