[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One summer as a teen I slept 13-15 hours almost every day. I know this because my mom still talks about it - I also grew 2" that summer. [b]Anyway, yes, teens need a lot of sleep and almost no teenager in America is getting enough sleep these days. Just because other teenagers are overloaded with extracurriculars and homework - our society is so ridiculous - doesn't mean your kid shouldn't get to sleep as much as he wants and needs to, and can. It's ok, OP. Just let him sleep[/b]![/quote] This is spot on. My sister is a sleep doctor and our sleep habits in this country are at a crisis level. Her practice is so packed with kids and adults who get such poor sleep it is severely affecting thrjt mental health, happiness, weight, job performance, interpersonal relationships, and cardiovascular health. Anything parents can do to help their kids get as much sleep as possible is a gift. [/quote]
