The Teen Sleep Crisis

Lena Fairwood

Most teenagers are running on far less sleep than their bodies need, and the effects show up everywhere from mood to grades to the meals at your own table. This is a clear look at why adolescent sleep works differently, how school start times and screens interact with a shifting body clock, and what actually helps: consistent wind-down routines, honest conversations, and boundaries that respect a teen's need for independence. Practical guidance, delivered with patience and respect for the whole family.
