Opening Discussion Questions
1) "Go to bed - it's after midnight!" "Get up or you'll be late for school!" "Are you going to stay in bed all day?!" Why do teens hear these questions so often? How much sleep do you need?
2) How important is sleep to your health?
3) Have you ever had a night you couldn't fall asleep? Think of that time and name some of the reasons you couldn't sleep.
4) When do you think sleep loss is a big enough problem that you should talk to your doctor?

WORKSHEET - Adolescent Sleepiness Questionnaire
-Establish a regular, relaxing routine to unwind at night, just before bedtime. This will help signal to your body that it is time to sleep.
- Avoid all products containing caffeine
(including soda, chocolate, etc.) after about 4:00 p.m.
- avoid smoking (including smokeless
tobacco) since, in addition to other bad health effects,
nicotine is a stimulating drug.
- Avoid alcohol/drugs.
- Stay away from stimulating activities in the
late evening such as heavy studying, computer games, and
violent or frightening television shows, videos, social media drama or trolling.
- Promote a calm atmosphere surrounding bedtime.
- Do not fall asleep while watching
television or videos.
- Establish a regular exercise routine
and healthy diet.
- Avoid late afternoon and evening bright
light, and open blinds first thing in the morning.
- You can go to bed later on weekends, but make sure
you wake up within two hours of your usual weekday
wake time. If allowed to “sleep-in” on the weekends, your
body clock will be disrupted, and you will have a very
hard time waking up on Monday morning. It is important to
establish and maintain a consistent sleep-wake schedule.
- NO PHONES IN THE BEDROOM WHEN SLEEPING!! Leave it in the
kitchen or other area far away from you.
