Sleep is important at all ages and stages! Check out the new book "Generation Sleepless" to learn more about your tweens/teens sleep health.
A Mighty Girl Pick of the Day: "Generation Sleepless: Why Tweens and Teens Aren't Sleeping Enough and How We Can Help Them" by Heather Turgeon and Julie Wright. If you could protect your tween or teen from unnecessary anxiety, depression, and chronic stress, and foster a greater sense of happiness and well-being in their life, wouldn’t you? This new parenting book by two renowned sleep specialists and psychotherapists explores one of the greatest threats to tween and teens' physical and mental health: the far-reaching effects of sleep deprivation. With early school starts conflicting with their night owl biology and the widespread prevalence of screens and high expectations for both academic work and extracurriculars after school hours, many kids are operating in a state of chronic sleep debt. Packed with practical advice for parents, this insightful book will help you learn how to foster a teen's self-motivation to sleep well; how to change your family's practices around phones, social media, and screen time; how to help teens develop smart sleep habits; and much more. Full of up-to-date research, this essential new book will empower parents to help their kids reclaim the restorative power of sleep.
