Lack of sleep among children and teenagers has worsened in the past decade, with around 80 per cent not getting enough sleep on school days, a 2021 report said.
Researchers surveyed more than 15,800 students from Henan, Hebei and Guangdong provinces from April to July, asking them what time they went to bed and woke up on days when they went to school. Only 46.4 per cent slept for at least 8 hours, compared with 47.4 per cent in 2009, the report said.
According to an action plan laying out measures to be taken from 2019 to 2030 to promote the health of citizens, primary school students are recommended to get a minimum of 10 hours’ sleep a night. Nine hours is recommended for junior high school students and 8 hours for senior high school students.
By those standards, more than 95 per cent of students in primary schools, nearly 91 per cent of those in junior high schools and 84 per cent of students in senior high schools do not get enough sleep on school days, heightening the risk of them developing cognitive (认知的), mental (精神的) and physical health problems, the report said.
A researcher at the National Institute of Education Sciences said local officials should implement (执行) measures suggested by the Ministry of Education, such as lessening (减轻) academic burdens, putting off start times at school and encouraging children to attend schools closer to home so they can have more sleep.
