Teens sleep: Many teens can experience day time sleepiness. Teens need 8-10 hours of sleep at night but growth changes make it difficult for a teen to fall asleep early enough on a school night. Try and get to bed same time each night, read a book, avoid screen time an hour before, avoid caffeine. If symptoms persist see a healthcare worker for a check up.
