The recomended hours of sleep Is 9.5 hours a day some schools have even changed their time to better fit the schedule of an teenager so they can get that sleep even though it is fun to go out and party it is better to get sleep. It is proven countless times that if you sleep you will do better and be more alert during the day.  So if you find that you have one of the listed problems above then you really need to sleep. Best ways to have the best sleep is get into a habit you need to go to bed at a good time and do it often. Don’t have bright lights on late at night. Do not eat sugar before you go to bed because it may cause nightmares and restless sleep. also if you can’t fall asleep do something calming not watch a screen because that may also keep you up but read a book or listen to a tape . lastly just go to bed  you really do need to sleep.
