Generation Sleepless: Why Tweens and Teens Aren't Sleeping Enough and How We Can Help Them

If you're a parent, you know how important it is to protect your teen from unnecessary anxiety, depression, and chronic stress. But did you know that one of the biggest threats to your teenager's physical and mental health is sleep deprivation? In Generation Sleepless, Heather Turgeon, MFT and Julie Wright, MFT, authors of the renowned guide The Happy Sleeper, dive deep into this silent epidemic that is harming our teens every day.

Generation Sleepless is an intimate glimpse into the lives of our sleep-deprived teens, who are caught in a perfect storm of academic overload, constant screen time, and night owl biology. With early school start times and the pressure to meet the demands of adolescence, our teens are operating in a constant state of sleep debt and "social jet lag." This is affecting their overall well-being and ability to thrive.

In this groundbreaking book, Turgeon and Wright reveal how many teens actually need more sleep than their younger siblings but are getting drastically less. They provide actionable advice that will help parents foster their teen's self-motivation for sleeping well, make necessary changes to family practices around phones, social media, and screen time, and understand and address the night owl tendencies of teenagers.

But it doesn't stop there. Generation Sleepless goes beyond the family dynamic and urges teachers, principals, colleges, coaches, and policy makers to take action. The book lays out steps for creating sleep-friendly schools and promoting systemic changes that will ensure our teens get the rest they need to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.

If you're ready to help your teen reclaim the restorative power of sleep and safeguard their future, Generation Sleepless is the essential guide. Don't wait, take action now to create a better future for your teen.
