Overcoming Sleep Problems

Book Description

Sleep disorders are really common at any age, and they often make your mood and your concentration much worse the next day.

There are big changes in how much sleep you need and when you fall asleep during your teenage years. Not getting your regular 8-10 hours of sleep can have a major impact on your learning and how you feel. This book is written to help you understand more about your sleep and how it changes as you get older, and what can go wrong with sleep.

Most sleep disorders have good treatments that can often work over just a few weeks. Even if you have had the problem for a long time. Written by a doctor with years of experience working in sleep services with adolescents, this book gives you easy and effective ways to fix your sleep problems.

The book uses case studies, engaging illustrations and exercises, and includes help and support on:
· Understanding the way teenage sleep works and why being asleep isn't lazy!
· Effective techniques that will help sleep quality, daytime mood and memory.
· Advice on insomnia, delayed sleep phase syndrome and parasomnia (sleepwalking and nightmares), and on medication that helps sleep and how to use it.

OVERCOMING FOR TEENAGERS is a series to support young people through common mental health issues during adolescence, using scientific techniques that have been proven to work.
