Teenagers who regularly feel exhausted are more likely to commit a crime by the age of 30, the study suggests. of the month of February.
This research collected data from 101 15-year-old adolescents that included: hours of sleep, evaluations of brain activity and response to stimuli, and whether they had committed any type of antisocial behavior.
They then compared whether these teens had engaged in any type of violent antisocial behavior and found that 17% of them had engaged in a serious crime. Which means that exhausted teenagers have a 4.5 times greater risk of committing a crime compared to those who are not.
For the authors, this strange relationship can be explained by the fact that young people could be exposed to disadvantaged social factors such as poverty and stressors that affect sleep hours and, consequently, these young people feel exhausted and lacking attention during day, which in turn affects their brain and reduces their ability to make decisions that avoid violent behavior.
