The Sleep-Deprived Teen: Why Our Teenagers Are So Tired, And How Parents And Schools Can Help Them Thrive - Paperback

by Lisa L. Lewis (Author)

Teenagers are exhausted, strapped for time, and asked to wake up far earlier than they should. Now, journalist Lisa L. Lewis, who helped spark the first law in the nation requiring healthy school start times for adolescents, has written a reader-friendly, research-based book for parents who want to help their fatigued teens and tweens.

As Lewis demonstrates, sleep affects mental health, athletic performance, academic success, and more. On the flip side, well-rested teens are happier, healthier, and more emotionally resilient.

In The Sleep-Deprived Teen, she provides parents with a roadmap to more (and better) sleep for their teens-and perhaps even for themselves.

YOU'LL FIND:

• The science of why sleep matters and how it changes during the teen years
• A guide to making sleep-friendly changes at home and in schools
• An essential primer on technology and sleep
