Supporting Better Sleep During the Teenage Years
Sleep changes dramatically during adolescence. Biological shifts in circadian rhythms, combined with the demands of school, extracurricular activities, social life, and growing independence, can make sleep challenges feel especially overwhelming.
If you are an adolescent experiencing anxiety, ADHD, or autism, you may find that sleep feels even more complicated. Navigating nighttime routines, bedtime anxiety, or irregular schedules can feel like an uphill battle, but with the right strategies and support, better sleep is possible.
I work with adolescents to:
Understand the science behind sleep and circadian rhythm changes during the teenage years
Identify how common beliefs and habits around sleep might be working against your goals
Develop individualized, realistic plans that take into account school, sports, work, and social demands
Support healthy sleep patterns in a way that feels empowering, flexible, and sustainable
Sleep Difficulties I Help Adolescents Address Include:
Insomnia (difficulty falling asleep and staying asleep)
Difficulty waking on time in the morning
Struggling to get enough sleep to feel rested
Creating a sleep schedule that fits school, sports, and social activities
Supporting athletes who want to improve sleep to optimize performance
Sleep schedule that does not align with daily responsibilities (e.g., delayed sleep phase)
Difficulty wearing CPAP devices
No two adolescents are exactly alike and neither are their sleep challenges. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan to help you build healthier sleep habits, improve your energy during the day, and set you up for greater success in school, sports, and life.
