Sleep

Did you know that 13-24 year olds need 9 hours of sleep to support their important brain development? Unfortunately, many factors operate to interfere with sufficient sleep during these years – including anxiety or depression, early school starts, homework loads, biological shifts to staying up late, and habits such as caffeine use and electronic device use. Poor sleep can exacerbate anxiety and depressed mood, cause irritability, and make it difficult to be effective at school or in relationships.

Drawing from her experience as a sleep researcher, clinician and mother of a teenager, Troxel discusses how early school start times deprive adolescents of sleep during the time of their lives when they need it most.
