Ensure your teen gets the sleep they need for healthy development with these 5 simple tips, tailored for families.
Set a regular sleep schedule with a consistent bedtime and wake-up time to help regulate your adolescent’s internal clock.
Ensure the bedroom is quiet, dark, and cool, with minimal distractions, to create a conducive environment for sleep.
Encourage limiting screen time before bed, as the blue light from devices can interfere with the production of melatonin.
Promote regular physical activity during the day, such as yoga or a game of cricket, to help your adolescent fall asleep more easily at night.
Discourage the consumption of caffeinated beverages, especially in the evening, to prevent sleep disturbances.
