Everybody needs it, there's no getting by
without it. Every night, we don our jammies and head for bed, hoping to wake
in the morning well-rested and fresh for the new day. Unfortunately, sleep
doesn't always come easily and there are those occasional nights when we toss
and turn instead of getting the restful sleep we need. My teenager has bouts
of sleeplessness and let me tell you -- a cranky, sleepy teenager in the
morning is very difficult to motivate! I was thrilled to find that iVillage
has several good articles on sleep, a few specifically about teens!
Sleeping Tips for Parents of Teens
has some good tips for helping to get teens the rest time they need.
I can't get my teen out of bed in the morning!
and
Waking Up the Sleepy Teen also offer
some good suggestions for getting that sleepy kid out of bed in the morning.
Here are some more articles on sleep:
