Dear Teenagers
Falling asleep at night can be genuinely challenging for teens — and there are real reasons why. In this Dear Teenagers video, Dr. Lisa Damour walks through the different factors that can keep teens up at night and what to do about each one. From learning how to quiet an anxious mind to managing late-night screen time, small shifts can make a big difference. Getting enough sleep isn’t a luxury — it’s essential for feeling and functioning at your best.
The advice provided here by Dr. Damour and the resources shared by her AI-powered librarian, Rosalie, will not and do not constitute - or serve as a substitute for - professional psychological treatment, therapy, or other types of professional advice or intervention. If you have concerns about your child’s well-being, consult a physician or mental health professional.
