ADDICTED. As High School Students, we are constantly moving; constantly doing homework, working, studying, and participating in extracurriculars. We hardly have time to relax, much less get a full nine hours of sleep. To keep up with our busy schedules and sleep deprivation, most of us turn to caffeine. Whether it's a coffee on the way to school, a monster at lunch, or a soda after school, caffeine is a part of a majority of teens' diets.
According to the National Sleep Foundation teens (14-17) need 8-10 hours of sleep and young adults (18-25) need 7-9 hours of sleep. Shockingly, a 2018 study revealed that only 27% of teens are meeting this criterion (AAP News). This overwhelming loss of sleep and exhaustion is probably what leads most teens to make their first cup of coffee.
Caffeine addiction is the reliance on caffeine and is common among teens and young adults. Caffeine addictions can be subtle and you may not even realize if you have one. Furthermore, a reliance on caffeinated beverages may not seem all that awful but it can lead to many unwanted symptoms and health effects.
