This report conveys the current research on sleep patterns in adolescents, factors contributing to chronic sleep loss (ex: electronic media use, caffeine consumption), and health-related consequences, such as depression, increased obesity risk, and higher rates of drowsy driving accidents. The report also discusses the potential role of later school start times as a means of reducing adolescent sleepiness. The information provided in this research report is vital for me since I will use this research to further my understanding on how and why pediatric patients are so effected by lack of sleep. I will use this study to learn about the different and specific types of growth and development issues that affect pediatric patients. After reading Mr. Owens's report, I have received a better understanding of my research topic and I now know the various types of issues I will need to address and further research about, in order for my capstone project to be successful. Furthermore, I believe this source is credible because it includes research conducted by Judith Owens, MD, MPH, FAAP, ADOLESCENT SLEEP WORKING GROUP, and COMMITTEE ON ADOLESCENCE; all highly qualified professionals in this particular field. Most importantly, this report includes an array of professional studies and research points conducted by different people and this makes the report more credible because more than one group or person is suggesting and can prove one topic with confidence. Additionally, I have selected a few of Mr. Judith Owens's quotes that pose an important role in his article. These quotes are essential in alerting the readers about the main and most significant points addressed by his work and other professional research.
