If you have any influence, try to roll this back. It's insane that this has been legalized. This is just fishing. for boys dopamine circuits. Richard Reeves wrote of boys and men. He told me that when sports betting is legalized in a state, the number of bankruptcies goes up very quickly. And that's mostly young men. And so we're just destroying young men and their futures.

Sleep is so important. We're realizing much more now than we did 20 years ago. Because when I was in college, it was like, we don't really know why people sleep. All animals sleep, but when you keep people up at night, they don't die. It was known for a long time that REM sleep does have something to do with consolidating memory. So there's always been a relationship between sleep and learning.

We know that. But more recently, I don't remember when this was found, but there's a lymphatic system in our bodies that gets rid of broken molecules and proteins and flushes it out. The brain does not have a lymphatic system to flush it out. But deep sleep seems to involve a pattern of neural firing that seems to do some of that. And so it is about the brain's repair.

Sleep is incredibly important. It's also important for your mental health. So we know that once you give kids, touchscreen devices are the most engaging, the most addictive, much more so than a television screen. Television is entertaining, but it doesn't allow you to do stimulus response stuff, whereas a touchscreen does.

So if you give a kid an iPad or an iPhone and you let them have it at night in their room, Not all, but a lot of them are going to be on it instead of sleeping. And so there's the blue light, there's the stimulation, there's the social drama. And so a lot of kids are now really sleep deprived. Now what happens? You're sleep deprived. You go into class. You can't learn as much.

You do more poorly in school. You're more stressed out by your grades. You're irritable and short tempered. So your relationships suffer. And all of this just creates a loop where you become more and more depressed and dysfunctional. So just to go through the four, it's social deprivation, sleep deprivation, attention fragmentation, and addiction. Those are the four big effects.

So if you give your kid a smartphone or an iPad that they can hold on to, Your kid is at risk for these four things. Again, I'm not saying never give them an iPad, but if they have it, it's their own. They can customize it, especially if they get social media accounts. Now they've got so much stuff coming in.
