Teens whose parents let them stay up after midnight on weeknights have a much higher chance of being depressed or suicidal than teens whose parents enforce an earlier bedtime, says research being presented today at a national sleep conference.

Middle- and high-schoolers whose parents don't require them to be in bed before midnight on school nights are 42% more likely to be depressed than teens whose parents require a 10 p.m. or earlier bedtime. And teens who are allowed to stay up late are 30% more likely to have had suicidal thoughts in the past year.

The NIH survey found that kids whose parents called for a 9-10 p.m. bedtime said they were in bed, on average, by 10:04 p.m. They slept for 8 hours and 10 minutes on average, compared with 7½ hours for kids allowed to stay up past midnight.

The lesson for parents is simple, Gangwisch says: Try as much as possible to sell teenagers on the importance of getting enough sleep — even if it seems that they don't need as much as younger children (actually, they need as much — about nine hours — but usually get only 7½ hours or so, according to the NIH).

"We feel like we can just eat into our sleep time," he says, "but we pay for it in many different ways."

Maybe you can't sleep because you have some underlining anxiety disorder that is the cause for your lack of sleep rather then your lack of sleep being the cause of your anxiety?

Well I get about 4-5 hours sleep on weekdays and I'm 18 so it looks like I should be on suicide watch
sleep is more important for older people cause They are the ones that really feel the ache and tiredness after a long day.  so screw dem and stay up as late as you need to.


lols yes too many q you asked
i get around 6 hours and it's enough.. after weekends of parties where i get 4 hours of rest - they can really add up and can take a toll lol but it never gets me to a point of thinking about suicide after a lack of sleep..

How do you function? I notice myself being stupider than normal when I get only ~7 hours of sleep. At 4-5 hours of sleep I am a totally useless, zombie.

I was for the first few weeks but now I'm pretty used to it.  Go to bed at 1-2am and get up at 6am consistently now.

I'm pretty sure you aren't going to get depressed or have suicidal thoughts if you live a normal happy life regardless of how much you sleep.

I agree with G here.
Depression might be the cause for lack of sleep but not the other way around, at least I think thats not normal

I average 9 hours a day and that's not including me being asleep in lectures etc.

Back in secondary school though it would have been closer to 7.

I'd say it's the opposite way surely, when you're down/feeling low it's harder to fall asleep, these numpties seem to have it the wrong way

Although I guess they are talking about depression and not just the odd days when you're just pissed off at shit

I couldn't disagree more.


If someone is preventing me from staying up as long as I want, THAT would be the cause for depression.

Anywais sounds like another bs study to me... playing doom makes you shoot ppl etc. lol....

Edit: I love staying up late and sleeping long in the morning. Usually I sleep less during week and then in weekend maybe 10-12 hours/night.

Well I am no longer a teenager but I agree with this topic. I used to go to bed at about 1-2 and wake up at about 10-11 and I felt like shit. I felt lazy and depressed.
Then I decided I had enough of this shit feeling so I started going to bed at 11 and waking up at 8. Couple weeks went by and I can honestly say that I feel a lot better. I have more energy and I am no longer depressed.
