The Most Popular Kids At School Struggle To Sleep At Night, Study Reveals

Published

Image #: 13966736 April 12th 2011- Honor roll student Jafari Rooks works in a small group in his classroom at Holy Names Catholic School in North Memphis. Many of the kids come from a difficult home life, so, students are encouraged to work as hard as they can while at school. Homework does not go home with the children because most often "we know it is not going to get done," said Madison Tracy, the schools principal. The Jubilee Schools now operate on a $30 million endowment, serving more than 1,400 mostly non-Catholic and poor students at eight schools (fundraising allowed the addition of two more). Unlike most private, faith- based schools, these schools would accept any students, regardless of test scores, previous academic or behavior records, or a family's ability to pay.

The most popular children at school get the least amount of sleep.

Researchers in Sweden asked 1,300 teenagers to report how much sleep they got per night while also nominating up to three friends.

Analysis revealed that those with the most friends got less slumber than their classmates and lost an average of 27 minutes of sleep per night.

When the researchers analysed boys and girls separately, they discovered that popular females were more likely to have difficulty staying asleep or waking up too early.

However, this effect was not seen to the same extent for boys.

Study author Dr. Serena Bauducco, from Orebro University, said: “Girls express more care and concern with their friends and engage in helping behaviours more than boys.

“This might mean they carry these concerns when it’s time to fall asleep.”
