• According to a study in Canada almost a third of children in Canada
are sleep-deprived, this is believed to be a lack of physical tiredness
and too much of screen time.
• As per Dr. Mark Tremblay, lead researcher, Healthy Active Living
Research Group, children are not getting enough shut-eye because of
TVs in their room, due to their cell phone, or because they didn’t do
much exercise or physical activity and are not fatigued.
• The study also reveals that the children wake up slightly fatigued,
withdraw from any kind of physical work, relaxing more and then of
course are not physically tired, to get a proper sleep.
