| Description: |
Even when we are sleeping, our brains are controlling our bodies, sometimes in odd ways that keep us from getting the rest we need. In other cases, we purposely deprive ourselves of sleep, in order to have time to finish our many duties at home, work or school. Whatever the cause of sleep deprivation, we have come to dread the grogginess, irritability, and poor concentration that accompany it. Some individuals have performed poorly when taking tests, have made mistakes at work, or even had severe accidents because of their inability to focus clearly. In order to avoid the potential negative effects of sleep deprivation, we must learn how to get the sleep we need.

| Review: |
The video packs a lot of information about the causes of sleep deprivation and how to combat the problem. It emphasizes the importance of sufficient sleep and reminds viewers that lost hours can?t be made up. Information is presented on the science of sleep including the four stages and the sleep cycle. Sleep deprivation is described, and the possible causes, signs, and negative effects are outlined. Severe sleep deprivation may also lead to more serious sleep disorders such as insomnia, sleep apnea, narcolepsy, and more. After offering numerous suggestions to combat sleep deprivation, the narrator recommends getting professional help if necessary. The program provides important information about a problem many people take too lightly. Teenagers will relate to this well done video which could be used in secondary health classes in school as well as by health professionals.
