Teenagers and Sleep
Sleep is food for the brain. During sleep, important body functions and brain activity occur. Skipping
sleep can be harmful, even deadly, particularly if you are behind the wheel. You can look bad, you may

friends and hurt your scores on school exams. Sleepiness can lead to aggressive or inappropriate behavior
