Question

    Everybody knows how important it is for students to get a good night's sleep every night. You aren't able to do your best and keep up with all of your responsibilities unless you sleep well. I'm sure you already know that you should go to bed at a reasonable hour. Most experts agree that the ideal number of hours is eight, and his has been accepted as common sense for as long as I can remember. However, I was young once and I know that most of you get much less sleep than that—and in some cases it will be affecting your schoolwork.

I read an interesting article in a teachers' magazine recently. they did a study of 848 students in Wales. Worryingly, the results showed that teenagers are facing a new problem. They may go to bed get up at suitable times but a growing number are waking up in the middle of the night, not to use bathroom or have a snack but because of a new phenomenon: FOMO-fear of missing out!

According to the article, schoolchildren are suffering because of a growing trend（趋势）to wake up during the night to check social media. Afraid of missing a comment or opportunity to take part in a chat teenagers are waking at all times of the night, going online and getting involved. All this happens when they should be sound asleep.

Experts are worried about this growing trend and the report gives some worrying results that I'd like to share with you: 23% of 12 to 15-year-olds wake up nearly every night to use social media. Another 15% wake up at night once a week for the same reason. One in three students are often tired and unable to behave energetically in the daytime. Students who use social media during the night are more likely to suffer from depression and anxiety.

So, I'd like to ask you to be responsible when it comes to social media. Be brave! Switch off your devices at night. The world won't end and your social media will be waiting to greet you in the morning! I give you my word that you won't have missed anything important.
