Kids Sleep Less Due to Electronic Media
A new report shows that today’s children don’t get enough sleep because of overstimulation by electronic media.
Report author Kevin Coyle says that a generation ago children spent hours outdoors playing and interacting with others. Public News Service reports that today the average Arizona child or teenager spends 7 to 8 hours a day on a computer or cell phone, playing video games or watching television.
Coyle says that children between 8 and 18 lose an average of 10 to 14 hours of sleep a week because they are overstimulated by electronic use. He says parents can help restore some balance by making sure children get outdoor exercise. Natural light helps promote sleep. Coyle also suggests that kids “unplug” from computers, cell phones and TV’s at least an hour before bedtime.
The report is online at nwf.org.

Lawsuit Filed to Block Arizona Private Prison Plans
The American Friends Service Committee Tucson office has filed a lawsuit to block state plans for 5,000 new prison beds.
The group says the state should not be allowed to spend any more taxpayer’s money until the Department of Corrections can prove that the prisons are safe, that the corporations are doing the job they’re being paid to do, and that the state can hold the corporations accountable.
The Arizona Republic reports that the suit accuses the Arizona Department of Corrections of failing to follow two state statutes. State law requires that any private prison contract must either save money or provide better service for the same cost as state-run prisons. The suit also says that the Corrections Department has failed to carry out biannual studies required by law to compare the performance of private and state prisons.
A ruling on the temporary restraining order is expected sometime this week.
