Insomnia and other sleep disorders in adolescence

M. Delahoyde, C. Tyack, et al.

Sleep is vital, yet many adolescents struggle to get restorative sleep.

Abstract

Sleep is important for our survival. Research suggests that getting 'good' sleep is a problem for a proportion of adolescents. The paper advocates for holistic treatment of sleep disorders incorporating expertise from a multidisciplinary team. Much of the assessment and treatment of sleep disorders in adolescents comes from research within adult populations, therefore, there is a need for further research to be completed within the adolescent population to ensure there is a robust evidence base for assessment and treatment of sleep disorders.
