Most high school students don’t get enough sleep which can put them at risk of getting hurt.
A new government study found teens who averaged less than seven hours of sleep were much more likely to drink or text while driving, ride with a drunk driver or not wear a seatbelt than those who slept nine hours a night.
Insufficient sleep was more common among upperclassmen and females.
Researchers say teens who got too much sleep were also at a higher risk of being injured.
