Passage 3
Within three days of starting high school this year, my ninth-grader could not get into bed before 11 p.m. or wake up by 6 a.m. He complained he couldn’t fall asleep but felt foggy during the school day and had to reread lessons a few times at night to finish his homework. And forget morning activities on the weekends---he was in bed.
We’re not the only family struggling to get result shut-eye. “What parents are sharing with us is that the ‘ normal life’ of a typical American high schooler is interfering with sleep,” says Sarah Clark, co-director of C.S. Mott Children’s Hospital National Poll on Children’s Health at the University of Michigan.
In the poll of 2,000 parents from various ethnic groups and backgrounds that Clark and her team published this month, 1 in 6 parents say their teen experiences frequent sleep problems---“having trouble falling asleep or staying asleep 3 or more nights per week.” More than half the parents say it’s because their teens won’t get off their electronic devices, and 43 percent blame irregular schedules with homework and activities. A significant percentage of parents say their kids worry about school (31 percent), and 23 percent say their teens stay up worrying about their social lives. It’s likely that the numbers of teens who have trouble sleeping is even higher than the poll of parents suggests, Clark says, because kids can hide their nighttime electronics use and parents may not frequently check in on older children.
How can parents help? Start with knowing what kids need. The average American teenager gets seven hours of sleep a night, wedging it in between homework, outside activities, dinner and maybe a job. But research suggests teens need more like nine hours. Unfortunately, even their bodies work against them, says Mary Carskadon, a longtime sleep researcher and professor of psychiatry and human behavior at Brown University. As children grow into the middle and teen years, they are naturally inclined to go to bed later and sleep later in the morning. But an early school start time doesn’t allow it. “
If kids’ body clocks are shifting later and the school is starting earlier, there’s on time left to recover,” Carskadon says.
Clark and Carkadon say, the most effective thing we parents can do is listen to our kids---talk with them about their sleep challenges and help them set a regular sleep schedule. It’s never too early (or too late) to find healthy ways to relieve daytime stresses that can disrupt sleep at night, whatever your age. Best idea yet, parents: We can set a good example, by putting our own electronics away--- really away--- at bedtime.
