Teenagers have managed to come up with yet another dangerous trend. What they're doing in bed...



If you've got a teenager, you'll need to keep an eye on what they're doing in bed...
Sleep texting is becoming a widespread problem, especially for adolescents. Dr. Joseph Ojile, founder of the Clayton Sleep Institute, says it's a growing problem and it's serious. It's not unusual for a teen to take their tech to bed, often drifting off with their phone or device in hand, or right next to them. Some kids are so tuned in that they'll respond to notifications without fully waking up. Obviously, this can lead to inappropriate or mistaken communication and worse, disrupt that all-important sleep that every teenager craves.
If you've got a teen or a child who is really hooked on their phone, try to lay down the law that it goes off or stays out of the bedroom at night. If they rely on it for their music or alarm - it may be time to invest in an good old fashioned clock radio.
