EMPOWER Yourself to Sleep! Did you know that the rise in insufficient sleep has been credited by The American Academy of Pediatrics for the rise in anxiety, depression, academic problems, substance abuse and weight gain? This week the EMPOWER! Club is recognizing the importance of sleep on physical, mental and emotional health:
Learn- Read the Top Sleep Tips each morning in the Blog
Dress Down– Friday with a Pajama Day. For $1 you can wear school appropriate P.J.’s (proceeds for future EMPOWER! Club events)
Get Cozy– Also Friday, bring your blanket & join us for Community Nap in The Commons & Senior Lounge during break

Read: How many hours of sleep are recommended for teens? To function optimally, most teens need about 8-10 hours of sleep each night. Sleep is vital to your well-being, as important as the air you breathe, the water you drink and the food you eat. It can even help you to eat better and manage the stress of being a teen.Why is it important?  Sleep is food for the brain: During sleep, important body functions and brain activity occur: this is when the brain downloads the information learned and stores it in the memory. Skipping sleep can be harmful — even deadly, particularly if you are behind the wheel. You can look bad, you may feel moody, and you perform poorly. Sleepiness can make it hard to get along with your family and friends and hurt your scores on school exams, on the court or on the field. Remember: A brain that is hungry for sleep will get it, even when you don’t expect it. For example, drowsiness and falling asleep at the wheel cause more than 100,000 car crashes every year. When you do not get enough sleep, you are more likely to have an accident, injury and/or illness.
