Research suggests that teenagers need between 8-10 hours of sleep every night, yet most get only up to 7.5 hours each night. Teen's body clocks naturally shift to make them feel tired later in the evening, so it is normal for teenagers to feel tired in the evening and need more sleep in the morning due to a biological shift in their internal body clock.
Sleep is critical in contributing to a young person's health, concentration, productivity, and mood. Find more information on supporting your teenagers sleep below.
