Untangling Family Life

10to20s Can Get the Sleep They Need. Here’s How.

As parents of teens, we face a simple–but often daunting–truth: nothing matters more to an adolescent’s overall health and development than sleep. In this video Dr. Damour reviews the compelling science on why our kids’ sleep should be a top priority. She also offers guidance for confronting the common obstacles that keep them from getting the sleep they need. If your teen’s sleep has fallen off track, don’t despair! This Untangling Family Life video is here to help–and it’s one you might have your teen watch right alongside you.

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.
