Teens and too little sleep
ListenGuests: Judith Owens, Jodi Mindell
If you have a teenager, what time do they go to bed at night and what time do they wake up? A lot of people are worried teens aren’t getting enough sleep (especially on school days) and it’s having an effect on their physical health, their mental health and their schoolwork. Marty talks about teen sleep with two leading experts: JUDITH OWENS, Director of Sleep Medicine at Children’s National Medical Center in DC and JODI MINDELL, Professor of Psychology at Saint Joseph’s University and Associate Director of the Sleep Center at the Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.
