“Without enough sleep, we all become tall two-year-olds.” Sleep isn't a luxury, and this is especially true among our tweens and teens. 77% of teens nationwide do not get the minimum number of hours of sleep they need each night (8 hours is the minimum.) And it's no surprise that sleep deprivation leads to short-temperedness, risky behaviors; poor learning; inability to absorb, retain and retrieve new information; drowsy driving and poor mental health.   In this episode we interview Lisa L. Lewis, author of “The Sleep Deprived Teen” who helps us come up with a strategy for helping our kids get they sleep they desperately need. We'll uncover the truth about how a teen's sleep patterns differ from the years prior to and after adolescence and how this Circadian rhythm shift affects them. Finally, we'll give parents tips for how to help your child self-regulate, make sleep a family priority and help overworked and over-scheduled teenagers achieve a balance in their sleep, social life, school work and extracurricular activities

During adolescence, the brain undergoes significant development, likened to upgrading from a dirt road to a paved freeway. However, this process can be hindered by sleep deprivation, which can lead to increased risk-taking, impulsivity, and exacerbation of mental health issues. In this episode Lisa L. Lewis suggests making sleep a family priority, modeling good sleep habits, and having ongoing conversations about the importance of sleep. She also recommends assessing the factors that may be contributing to late bedtimes, such as overscheduling or excessive tech use, and working collaboratively with teens to address these issues.

Experts say that chronic sleep deprivation among teenagers has been linked to worse academic performance and mental and physical health problems, substance abuse, and drowsy driving. Because of the litany of public health risks, the American Academy of Pediatrics has called for schools to start no earlier than 8:30 a.m., as even 60 extra minutes of sleep per night can have major benefits in staving off long-term health issues.My guest today, Lisa L.

We all know that lack of sleep affects how you learn and develop. And we know that most teens don't get enough sleep. They stay up late at night and then have to get up and start their school day before many of us parents even start our work day. But what if we told you there's a reason for that, a biological one, and that chances are good that your teen's current school start time conflicts with the current research on teen brain development?In this podcast episode we are talking with Lisa Lewis. She's a parenting journalist and author of book, The Sleep-Deprived Teen. Lisa focuses on the intersection of parenting, public health and education, and helped spark California's landmark healthy-school-start-times law.We talk about how sleep deprivation heightens impulsive & risky behaviors (especially in teens), why the current school start schedule is the way it is in the U.S., and what parents can do to help their teen get enough sleep.Resources We Shared In This Episode:Lisa L.

Lewis and Oxford professor Russell Foster talk to Jelena Sofronijevic about our body clocks, circadian rhythms, and why sleep is revolutionary.    “Sleep is like shoe size.

Adolescents and teenagers require 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night to support brain development, an amount of time that is challenging for them to achieve when the school day begins early in the morning. Now, California has become the first state in the country to require schools to start later. Middle schools must start no earlier than 8am and high schools no earlier than 8:30 AM. For our back to school series, "School Principles," we explore the issue of sleep deprivation for students, how it affects school performance, and the impact on later start times on schools and families. To understand the value of this legislation, we spoke with Lisa L. Lewis, author of “The Sleep Deprived Teen: Why Our Teenagers are So Tired, And How Parents and Schools Can Help Them Thrive.” We also spoke with Dr. Marian Kim-Phelps, Superintendent of Poway Unified School District about the challenges of implementing these mandated changes.

If you have kids in school then your sleep and your kids' sleep has probably changed from the long lazy days of summer. Host, Miriam Conner and guest, Lisa L Lewis, discuss the importance of teen sleep. The post Podcast #81 Helping Your Teens Get More Sleep appeared first on Northeast Ohio Parent.

Freelance journalist and parenting author, Lisa L. Lewis, speaks with us about her new book, The Sleep-Deprived Teen. In it, she explains why sleep is so important for teenagers and how detrimental it can be when they don't get their recommended 8 to 10 hours of sleep each night. While there are things parents can Read More

Teenagers are overloaded, strapped for time, and often asked to wake far earlier than they should because of school start times. It's no surprise they're sleep-deprived as a result, with far-reaching consequences.Parenting 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 book for parents who want to help their exhausted teens. In "The Sleep-Deprived Teen," Lewis synthesizes the research to provide parents of teens and tweens with reader-friendly information and strategies.

Only 22% of teens get the amount of sleep they need to be rested which is 8-10 hours. You might be thinking it's because they are on screens too long but that's not the case. The main reasons why they aren't getting enough sleep is because their circadian rhythm shifts in the teen years that makes them naturally want to go to sleep later and wake up earlier (it's not just YOUR teen!!). My guest, Lisa L. Lewis shares how sleep deprivation impacts teens in their ability to attain, retain, and retrieve information when they're at school. There are other impacts to not getting enough sleep which impacts mental health. Lisa and I talk about the changes taking place in the teen brain, how school start times, if too early, drastically impact our teen's ability to learn, and how we can make sleep a priority for them.

Teens today are facing a perfect storm of mental-health challenges, increased academic pressures, and tech overload, all set against the backdrop of chronic sleep-deprivation.

Advocate, educator, and journalist, Lisa L. Lewis, who helped spark the first law in the nation requiring healthy school start times, addresses these questions and more. Lewis offers insights into how we can make changes at home and in our schools– and also build a common understanding of why teen sleep matters.

Sleep is as important to our teens as our toddlers. But ensuring a teenage boy gets the sleep he needs is even more difficult than convincing a toddler to nap that day after you move him from the crib to a toddler bed. Teen boys are even more strong-willed than toddlers -- and most are bigger and stronger than us too. Add in school schedules that are totally out-of-sync with teens' circadian rhythms and the ever-present pull of screens and social media and it's easy to see why most teens aren't getting nearly enough sleep. And though some teens (and adults) consider "getting by" on little sleep a badge of honor, "There are no benefits to being sleep-deprived. There is nothing you do better when you're sleep-deprived," says Lisa L. Lewis, author of The Sleep-Deprived Teen: Why are Teens are So Tired, and How Parents and Schools Can Help Them Thrive. The biological truth is that teens need more sleep than adults. Adults need 7-9 hours of sleep per night for good health; teens, 8-10 hours. Sleeping in on the weekend can help -- but not as a long-term strategy. Much smarter (& healthier) to consistently prioritize sleep. "Carve out and guard time for sleep," Lisa says. In this episode, Jen, Janet, & Lisa discuss: Shift in circadian rhythm during adolescence How homework contributes to teen sleep loss Sleep & mental health Teen sleep needs Should we let teens sleep in on weekends? Nap during the day?
