Sort of: There are very few sleep medications that approved for use in teens. Medication may not be the answer. Keeping consistent sleep times, not watching tv one hour before bed, "unplugging" from all electronics one hour before bed and morning time exercise can fix may sleep problems. Many teens can also be helped with melatonin.

Sleep is medicine : Unfortunately, there is really no substitute for sleep. There are many medicines to induce sleep, but I wouldn't recommend any them for a teenager. Sleep is a critical element for every facet of human functioning. Enforcing limits and natural consequences are best. Limiting screen time before bed and sleep hygiene work well. Take away the phone an hour before bedtime. Hope this helps!
