Impact of Sleep on Teen Brain Development

Ye MRI hai 14 saal ke

ek teenager ke brain ka jo roz 10 baje se pehle so jata hai.

Aur ye uska jo regularly raat ko 12 baje ke baad sota hai

aur fir subhe school ke liye jaldi uthta hai.

Jo teenager 8:30 se 9:30 ghante ki sleep lete hai

uske brain mein white matter connectivity zyada strong hoti hai

yani brain ke different part ek dusre se faster communicate karte hai.

Isse focus, planning aur learning better hoti hai.

Lekin midnight ke baad sone ke aur sirf 5 se 6 ghante ki sleep lene se

prefrontal cortex aur emotional brain ke beech mein connectivity kam hone lagti hai.

Isse wajah se impulse control weak padta hai,

mood swing badhte hai

aur anxiety aur depression ka risk bhi badh sakta hai.

Aur sabse important baat, teenage, brain ki rewiring ke liye bohot important phase hota hai.

agar isi phase mein sleep compromise hoti hai

toh brain ki normal development bhi compromise ho sakti hai.
