Question:

Students won't be able to perform well at school if .........

Everybody knows how important it is for students to get a good night's sleep every night. You aren't able to do your best and keep up with all your responsibilities unless you sleep well. I'm sure that you already know that you should go to bed at a reasonable hour. 

Fomo

Most experts agree that the optimum number of hours is eight and this has been accepted as common sense for as long as I can remember. However, I was young once and I know that most of you get much less sleep than that - and in some case it will be affecting your schoolwork.

Students won't be able to perform well at school.........

1. if they have phones in class
2. unless they use common sense
3. if they don't sleep well

I read an interesting article in a teachers' magazine recently. They did a study of 848 students in Wales. Worryingly, the results showed that teenagers are facing a new problem. The teenagers may go to bed and get up at appropriate times but a growing number are waking up in the middle of the night, not to use the bathroom or have a snack but because of a new phenomenon: FOMO- fear of missing out!

                      FOMO is ..........

The writer is worried by:

1. what he has read in the press
2. what other teachers have told him.
3. what he is seeing with his pupils.

FOMO is ...

1. anxiety about not having the latest technology.
2. an irrational need to go out all the time.
3. a fear of missing chances to interact on social media

According to the article, schoolchildren are suffering because of a growing trend to wake up during the night to check social media. Afraid of missing a comment or opportunity to take part in a chat, teenagers are waking at all times of the night, going online and getting involved. All this when they should be sound asleep.

Research shows that schoolchildren are tired because they ...

1. are going to bed very late.
2. are waking up in the middle of the night.
3. are getting up too early in the morning.

Experts are worried about this growing trend and the report reveals some worrying statistic that I'd like to share with you.

• 23% of 12 to 15-year-olds wake up nearly every night to use social media. Another 15% wake up at night once a week for the same reason.

Question: Nearly a quarter of 12 to 15-year-olds wake up to use social media .......

Nearly a quarter of 12 to 15-year-olds wake up to use social media ...

1. once a night, on average.
2. almost every night.
3. once a week.

• One in three students are constantly tired and unable to function to their full capacity
• Students who use social media during the night are more likely to suffer from depression and anxiety

Question : Students who use social media during the night ..............

Students who use social media during the night ...

1. have weaker immune systems.
2. do worse in exams.
3. have a higher incidence of depression and anxiety.

So I'd like to ask you to be responsible when it comes to social media. Be brave! Switch off your devices ..........

The world won't come to an end and your social media will be waiting to greet you in the morning! I give you my word that you won't have missed anything important.

Switch off your devices ..........

1. in the morning.
2. during the day.
3. at night.
