For example, 74% of parents believed it’s OK 58 (allow) teens to stay up late and sleep late at weekends. However, studies show that having different sleep time at weekends compared to (与……相比) weekdays can have a 59 (bad) influence on a teenager’s schoolwork. It is healthy to sleep about nine hours a day.
About 66% of parents surveyed believed that supplements (补充剂) with melatonin (褪黑素) are safe for teenagers to take. Taking a melatonin supplement can be useful. But teenagers shouldn’t take it without a doctor’s suggestions. One reason is that the amount of melatonin in supplements can vary (差异) 60 (wide).
A third myth the study dealt with was the idea that getting too much sleep is a problem. Most teenagers aren’t getting enough sleep in fact. It’s suggested that teenagers sleep eight to ten hours per night. The study’s writer said they hope to show more facts about sleep to encourage better sleeping habits among young people.
