New data from the National Sleep Foundation found about 1 in 5 teens reported taking sleep medication at least once a week, and 4 out of 5 teens say they don't get enough sleep.

A new study found that getting eight hours of sleep a night can "significantly" improve the ability to learn a new language, including remembering new words and grammatical rules.
