How Well Is Your Teenager Sleeping?
Teens need 9 to 10 hours of sleep on average each night. Not getting enough sleep leads to an increased risk of mental health issues, such as anxiety and depression, and even increases the risk of suicidal thoughts.
Your teenager's 'moods' might be a sleep problem!
Take the survey to see if your Teen is at risk.
Our Teens are experiencing 'jet lag' each week as they fail to get enough sleep, waking up too early for their internal 24 clock, and trying to catch up on the weekend. Imagine traveling between 2 to 3 timezones back and forth each week and you can start to understand how our Teens are feeling.

Did you know...
Teenage Sleep is different than adults?
The teenage 24 hour clock, called our circadian rhythm, is set later than an adults. The sleep preparation hormone melatonin does not start to rise until late into the evening. This is why your teenager is not sleepy when you are.
The needs of sleep are also different for Teens when compared to adults. Not only do they need more sleep, 8 to 11 hours with 9 or more being optimal, but their sleep looks different. Their deep sleep stage is much larger than an adults. Deep sleep is where we process are memories of the day, moving memories from short to long term storage. It is also where 'pruning' takes place and our brain development occurs.
