Lack of Sleep in Teens and Young Adults
Posted by Galen Bosley on
Inadequate sleep has serious risks for teens and young adults.
Teens and young adults who don't get adequate sleep are at higher risk for automobile crashes, poor grades and performance in school, depressed moods, and problems with peer and adult relationships.

A mentor is an individual, usually older and always more experienced, who helps and guides another individual’s development without having a goal of personal gain.
