Sleep Health for Adolescents 

Evidence-based sleep strategies for adolescents.

Sleep changes quite a bit during adolescence. The demands of school, extracurriculars, social pressures, and increased independence can make solving sleep difficulties challenging. Changes in circadian rhythms can also make it feel like you're fighting an uphill battle. If you are are an adolescent with anxiety, ADHD, or autism, you may feel that your sleep challenges are even more complicated. 

I can help you understand the science behind sleep, circadian rhythm changes, and the ways that common sleep beliefs may be working against you. Together we will develop an individualized plan to help you achieve your sleep goals.

Sleep difficulties that I help adolescents with include:

• Insomnia

• Difficulty falling asleep

• Difficulty staying asleep

• Difficulty waking on time

• Difficulty getting enough sleep to feel rested

• Figuring out a sleep schedule that accommodates the demands of school, sports, and social life

• Athletes who want to improve their sleep to optimize their performance

• Currently sleeping at a time that doesn’t fit with the schedule needed for day-to-day activities

• Difficulty wearing CPAP
