Research on adolescent development stresses the need for sleep, playtime, downtime, and family time. However, many teenagers struggle to find enough time to fit these essential activities into busy schedules full of extracurricular and school activities, tutoring outside of school, demanding homework, chores, family responsibilities, paid work, and travelling to school. As a result, students report getting an average of only six and a half hours of sleep each night.
