You may know about “ junk food” like French fries. But do you know about “junk sleep”?
Recently, a British survey found that electronic(电子) products in teenagers bedrooms are affecting(影响)their sleep.
The survey was done among 1,000 British kids from 12 to 16. It found that thirty percent of them got just 4 to 7 hours sleep every day. But doctors say they need 8 to 9 hours.
Almost a quarter of the kids said they fell asleep more than once a week while watching TV, listening to music or using other electronic products.
“This is very worrying.” Said Dr Chris Idzikowski, a British expert, “We call it ‘junk sleep’, It means you don’t get enough sleep and the quality of the sleep is bad, too. If you don’t get good rest, you don’t perform well in school the next day.”
The survey found that 40 percent of the kids felt tired each day, with girls between 13 and 16 feeling the worst. Nearly all the teenagers have a phone, Mp4 or TV IN THEIR BEDROOM. And many of them have all three.

A young girl raises her hand in class to answer the teacher's question. She loudly says the right answer but hears somebody call her a "know﹣it﹣all" and sees someone else roll (滚动) his eyes. She doesn't feel comfortable enough to speak up again because confident woman are thought to be "bossy (专横的)".

The stereotype (成见) that confident men are leaders and confident women are bossy gave rise to the 2014 "Ban Bossy" campaign ("禁用专横"运动). This campaign encourages young girls to become leaders and stay confident in the face of being called "bossy".

Laila Farah, from DePaul University, US, says she believes this stereotype comes from history. "There is an old idea that girls are not as clever as boys," Farah says. "There is also another very old idea that women act according to their feelings."

"Gender (性别) stereotypes come from nearly everywhere," Farah says. "It's is learned when people were babies, from the toys chosen, to saying girls aren't good at math."

In a study done by the Girls Leadership Institute, many girls said that the biggest thing holding them back from taking part in class was getting judged (评判). Girls learn to keep their ideas and leadership skills to themselves.

Maybe instead of never using the word bossy, we need to forget the idea that being bossy is a bad thing. At the end of the day, bossy people get the job done.
