Teen sleep is getting wrecked by more than just phones

High school students in the United States are facing a growing sleep deprivation crisis, with over three-quarters receiving less than seven hours of nightly rest. Data from the CDC’s Youth Risk Behavior Survey indicates this trend persists across all demographics and correlates with increased risks of depression, motor vehicle accidents, and poor academic performance. Shifting to geological concerns, new seismic data from the seafloor reveals that the Cascadia subduction zone's northern section is more tightly locked and under higher stress than previously understood, suggesting a future "megathrust" earthquake may unfold with varying intensity across the Pacific Northwest. Additionally, chemical analysis of 4,000 to 8,000-year-old pottery fragments from Northern Europe identifies prehistoric culinary habits, such as a specific fish and bitter Gelder roseberry stew. These findings demonstrate that hunter-gatherer diets were more complex than simple caloric intake, utilizing cooking techniques to transform unpalatable wild plants into flavorful staples.
