Sleep Help for Teens
Teen sleep is a perfect storm of hormones, habits and emotion.
During adolescence, hormones shift melatonin release later, pushing natural bedtimes back and making early mornings tough. We help families navigate delayed sleep phase, heavy workloads, screens, and stress. Our consults focus on what keeps sleep problems going—and build buy‑in so changes last.
Common Sleep Problems
The impact of adolescent sleep deprivation is real…
When teens are short on sleep, moods swing, patience drops at home, and mornings become battles. Concentration and memory suffer, grades and attendance can slip, and anxiety or low mood may worsen.
Parents want to help without power struggles.
Skilled Sleep partners with teens and caregivers to address:
Delayed sleep phase and difficulty waking for school
Insomnia symptoms: trouble falling asleep or returning to sleep
Nighttime phone use and irregular schedules
Weekend catch‑up sleep and social jet lag
Anxiety, stress, and racing thoughts at night

Holistic Assessment
We review sleep timing and routines, the hormone‑driven circadian delay of adolescence, school demands, activities, mental health, and screen patterns.
Collaborative Plan
We co‑create strategies with the teen—building rapport, motivation, and autonomy—so changes feel realistic and respectful of their goals and schedule.
Individualised Support
We provide check‑ins to adjust the plan, coach teen‑parent communication, and reinforce progress so gains are sustainable.
