Studies have shown that excessive daytime sleepiness have led to risk for depression. This occurs to the lack of sleeping hours that the students have at night. High school studies sleeping at 10:00pm or earlier have proven to be healthier that sleeping at 12:00pm and increasing the risk to have depression symthoms. Sleep deprivation is common among this high school students and as it increase its leval of depression it also limits the student to succed academicaly and the well being of the mind. As the student sleeps more hours at night he is more likly to eliminate the possability of becoming depress.

Biological Cause of Violence

Researchers are challenging the "society-as-cause" conventional wisdom on crime by exploring biological differences between criminals and noncriminals. They believe that early intervention and treatment could reduce the likelihood of antisocial behavior.

In the movie The Bad Seed, a mother reluctantly comes to realize that her angelic-looking little girl is a cold-blooded killer. That was fiction, of course - a story that built on the notion that someone could be "born bad" - and was overly simplistic as an explanation of evil. But new research is suggesting that that notion might be closer to truth than previously believed.

Scientists have begun to ask whether there is something biologically wrong," or different, about people who become violent criminals. And they are disclosing intriguing answers. Moreover, they say, criminal behavior can be spotted at a very early age - even as young as 6 years old, the age of the girl in the movie.

Theories about the causes of violent crime go all over the intellectual map, drawing from sociology, psychology, philosophy and religion. The question bedevils law enforcement workers, prison counselors, the criminal justice system and an increasingly frightened public. Is crime rooted m poverty, poor upbringing, exposure to "the underclass" or lack of exposure to moral teachings? Is evil, pure and simple, the "bad seed" come to life?
