   1. According to PBS.org article siting 2 independent studies.  Adolescents are sleeping less than 7hrs per night due primarily to mobile phone activities, at this age teens should be sleeping at least 9hrs per night.  The linked studies were completed in 2015.  So you can imagine how much worse it is now after going through Covid-19 and online schooling.
