Talk of the town : The importance of sufficient sleep
【明報專訊】A recent survey reveals that Hong Kong primary school students sleep an average of 8.8 hours, lower than the international recommended standard of 9 to 12 hours. More than half of the children fail to meet the lower limit. Experts state that a lack of sleep affects children's emotions, immunity, and future growth, and they suggest that parents, schools, and society take action to improve the situation.
