How to encourage healthy sleep habits in teens


About 70% of high school students reported inadequate sleep on school nights. — TNS

DEAR Mayo Clinic: My 14-year-old daughter goes to bed each night around 10 pm. Some nights she complains that she cannot fall asleep until hours later.

Although she wakes up and says she isn't tired, she does sleep in on weekends. I'm concerned about insomnia, but I'm also worried it's affecting her ability to concentrate in school. What advice do you have?
