Healthy Sleep Revolution


Jan 29, 2020

Are you struggling to get your teenager to sleep at a decent hour? In today’s episode of the “Healthy Sleep Revolution” podcast, Dr. Dassani looks at this issue, its causes, and its effects upon both teenagers and their parents.

 

Episode Highlights:

 

  • The circadian rhythms of children, teenagers, and young adults
  • The biological wiring of teenagers’ brains with regards to sleep

 

Quotes:

  

“Their sleeping patterns are completely out of whack, right?”

 

“They fight us, they fight their bodies, they fight the sleep.”

 

“What I would give to be able to sleep in just for one day over the weekend, one morning.”

 

“This is a cause for much angst and strife in most of our families, if not all.”

 

“Our teenagers, they actually need more sleep than adults…as they’re growing, their brains are wired to get this sleep, just at a different time than the parents or even the siblings.”

 

“This is a biological wiring.”

 

“This is not forever.”

 

“Hang in there, parents!”
