IF YOU thought being popular in high school was all about trendy clothes and endless invites, think again.
It turns out, the coolest kids on campus are also the sleepiest.
According to a new study from Frontiers in Sleep, high school royalty are trading in their beauty sleep for popularity.
Researchers in Sweden and Australia have cracked the case on why the popular kids are yawning through math classes.
The study found that teen trendsetters sleep up to 27 min less than their not-so-popular classmates, with cool girls more likely to count sheep, battling more insomnia symptoms than their male counterparts.
Dr Serena Bauducco, lead researcher and apparent sleep detective, pointed out that the snooze shortage isn't due to late-night texting or scrolling through social media.
"Girls care more, and may carry concerns to bed and are unable to shut down."
Apparently, popularity doesn't come with a snooze button.
