The Importance of Teens Getting Enough Sleep

If you’re feeling tired, you’re not alone. “I think all of us especially in the US are chronically sleep deprived,” said Lee Health Resident Physician Dr. Audrey Anne Wagner. That’s especially true when it comes to teenagers. A CDC study found nearly 6 out of 10 middle schoolers, and 7 out of 10 high schoolers don’t get enough sleep on school nights. Those who are sleep deprived have a higher risk of obesity, diabetes, injuries, poor mental health, and problems with attention and behavior.

Teens have a temporary known adjustment in their circadian rhythm. “It is not uncommon for teenagers to want to stay up later at night, and sleep later in the day, that is a phenomenon of their brain development at that age,” said Dr. Wagner.

However, a consistent sleep cycle is best for everyone. “They still benefit from going to bed at the same time and waking up at the same time, which means they may have to get up earlier on the weekends to really see the benefit of the regular sleep cycle,” said Dr. Wagner.

It’s important that they avoid screens for at least an hour before bed. “The blue light on our phones is actually activating to our brains,” said Dr. Wagner. Parents can also help by teaching them ways to develop a wind down routine. “Reading books, a stretching exercise, mindfulness, there’s several deep breathing and meditation practices.” Teens should get 8-10 hours of sleep per night.
