#58: Why Teens Are Sleep Deprived, The Ramifications And How To Help

Guess what? Your teen’s not staying up late because they make poor choices. They’re not fighting to stay asleep in the morning because they’re lazy. It’s not their fault - it’s not a conscious decision. Just like other fallout from adolescent brain changes (you know, the ones that make them more prone to unpleasant emotions, more likely to do risky things like party and have unprotected sex, move away from you and towards their friends, etc.), their sleep patterns take a hit as well.And teens are chronically sleep deprived because of a combination of neurobiology, modern life, and an education system that asks too much of them after they go home and takes far too long to accept what research says is best for kids.Download my Free, "Guide to Teen Sleep" Show Notes and TranscriptFind our FREE Parenting Guides Here "I just wanted to let you know that I'm so thankful for your podcast! ...I'm so happy I discovered it!"
