How late should you allow a teenager to sleep in the morning? According to a recent study "Teen need more sleep while going through adolescence, at least 9 hours." Sleep deprivation can lead to irritability, mood swings, and lack of self confidence. Does this sound like your teen?
The majority of teenagers don't go to sleep at 8pm or 9pm. Instead, they toss and turn until 11pm or midnight. If you remember the joy of sleeping in until 10 am, then allow your teen the luxury of sleeping in on weekends and during the summer. Studying for exams, going to bed late, and up early to get to school before 8 am doesn't allow your teen to get the needed hours of rest.
