lifeasdaddy - Kids missing sleep can be a pretty bad thing.

New York Magazine has a good article by Po Bronson about how some kids getting just one hour of sleep less than they need is to their detriment.

"The surprise is how much sleep affects academic performance and emotional stability, as well as phenomena that we assumed to be entirely unrelated, such as the international obesity epidemic and the rise of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder."
