When Tech Gadgets Deprive kids Of Sleep

Article Summary by: cottonweight    

Original Author: prasanna raman
Many of us would have come across teenage kids living in their own world, totally engrossed listening to songs on their MP3
players,playing addictive games on their game consoles, chatting on the internet or simply sending out text messages on their mobile phones for what seems like eternity. We heard or read about research that says such kids lack social skills, but now a report says these kids dont't get enough sleep because they're engrossed with their gadgets until wee hours.Parents who provide kids with technology gadgets with the intention of not depriving their kids or not wanting them to be left out from using new technology will need to supervise their kids so they do get enough rest.As most kids lead sedentary lifestyles and do not get enough exercise, getting proper sleep isn't going to come easy. Getting them to turn off their gadgets before bedtime is the first step to getting enough sleep, but with kids there days, that's going to be a real challenge.
