  • Sleep Tips for Teens

    Sleep Tips for Teens
    Apr 14 2025
    Host and sleep expert Alanna McGinn discusses how critical sleep is for our teenagers, explaining the biological factors that affect their sleep patterns, the impact of screen time, and the importance of establishing a calming bedtime routine. She reviews the pros and cons of potential changes to school start times to later in the day concluding it’s a positive idea. She reminds parents to recognize their role in their child's sleep health and to implement strategies that promote better sleep hygiene. Takeaways: Teens need 8 to 10 hours of sleep per night. Melatonin is a sleep regulator, not a sleep initiator. Napping can be beneficial for teens if managed properly. A calming bedtime routine is essential for better sleep. Screen time before bed can disrupt sleep patterns. Keeping devices out of the bedroom promotes better sleep. Creating a shared journal can enhance communication about sleep concerns.
