U.S. Kids Sleep-Deprived

April 7, 2004 | Issue 40•14

The National Sleep Foundation recently announced that American children are not getting enough sleep. What do you think?

Young Woman

Cynthia Lewis,
Tax Preparer
"I wake my son up four times a night for pulled-pork sandwiches and Bible study."

Young Man

Steve Green,
Fruit Picker
"This doesn't concern me personally, because I ain't got no damn kids by no woman on the other side of town."

Old Woman

Virginia Adams,
Nutritionist
"It's no surprise. The obese often have trouble sleeping."

Asian Man

Frank Gonzalez,
Painter
"Parents, use child psychology to eradicate this problem. Tell your son or daughter, 'If you don't get enough sleep, the monster under your bed will eat you.'"

Old Man

Gregory King,
Aerospace Engineer
"You know what else they're not getting? My goddamn Brandy Old Fashioned, that's what. You hear me, Tyler?"

Black Man

Stephen Harrison,
Systems Analyst
"Maybe if they pulled up their damn pants for once, that would, um... Well, it would be a step in the right direction."
