Abstract
As pediatricians, we can all recall an adolescent patient who presents with fatigue. She is groggy in the morning before school, sometimes nods off in class, and then drinks a caffeinated beverage in the afternoon. She sends text messages to friends before going to bed shortly after midnight. After getting a bit of history from her, the parents complain that she has poor sleep habits while the teenage yawns and then rolls her eyes at being outed. For many adolescents, sleep restriction is a conscious choice that is made, as teens are juggling school responsibilities, extracurricular activities, and social interactions. This article is intended to help primary care pediatricians understand the causes of insufficient sleep in teenagers and gives tips on how to address common sleep issues. There is serious morbidity associated with poor sleep in adolescents, including mood disorders such as depression and anxiety, increased obesity risk, and higher rates of drowsy driving. It is my hope that a few tips from this article will help prevent some of these serious sequelae. [Pediatr Ann. 2019;48(8):e292-e295.].
