Sleepy teens: A public health epidemic | Wendy Troxel | TEDxManhattanBeach

Great video on the importance of making sure that teens get enough sleep. Fairly short, and very informative. Well worth watching. 🙂

Fortunately, personally, we don’t have any really early start times in our family (school starts shortly after 8 for our teens) – but nudging things later would still be of benefit, I think. It’s still before the 8:30 start that she suggests for the earliest recommended start time. Worth taking a serious look at how to adjust our systems to help our teens stay healthy and well-rested.
