Is the Surge of Sleep Deprivation in Young Adults due to Excessive Caffeine Intake?
Sleep deprivation is a public health issue that has been on the rise steadily as more young adults present to clinics seeking treatment. With energy drinks and increased consumption of coffee and other caffeine-containing products, there have been more young adults stuck in the cycle of not sleeping and then relying on caffeine to get through the day. The goal of the study will be to see if young adults in high school who complain of sleep-related problems had been taking caffeine and if their sleep deprivation could be corrected by removal of caffeine along with the promotion of a proper sleep-wake cycle.
