Given our discussion the other night regarding the first chapter of Dug Down Deep, I thought this short clip gave some teeth to what Harris was saying about “losing the Word of God.”

Sleepy and Grumpy, Not Just for Dwarfs

The USA Today points to an important study that links teenagers lack of sleep to depression/suicidal thoughts:

The findings are the first to examine bedtimes’ effects on kids’ mental health — and the results are noteworthy. Middle- and high-schoolers whose parents don’t require them to be in bed before midnight on school nights are 42% more likely to be depressed than teens whose parents require a 10 p.m. or earlier bedtime. And teens who are allowed to stay up late are 30% more likely to have had suicidal thoughts in the past year.

In a world of Facebook, Twitter, ESPN.com, and text-messaging, we need to be very careful to discipline ourselves to get enough sleep! You might not be able to see a difference in your mood and attitude, but others can!
