Hello, my name is Ava Neithardt and this is my second year in the Science Research program. I am currently a junior at Clarkston North HS. Last year, I had studied the causes and effects of sleep deprivation in adolescents. I conducted my mid-year presentation on the article labeled "The Effect of One Night's Sleep Deprivation on Adolescent Neurobehavioral Performance". Researching this topic has taught me that adolescents aren't getting the suggested amount of sleep each night (8 hrs).
