Say what?: Dear bobcat. You really aren't sleeping enough for 17 years old. At this age i would encourage you to aim for 8 to 9 hours per day. I would try sleeping appropriate amounts before i would jump to conclusions about brain health or need for medications. Here is sleep hygiene info. 1. Keep a regular bedtime & wakening time (to include weekends). Get up the same time each day, regardless of what.
