Better Sleep for Teens: A Guide for Parents

Teenagers and sleep—it’s one of the most common struggles for families. Late nights, constant phone use, refusal to switch off, and mornings that start with stress.

Better Sleep for Teens is a straight-talking, practical audio guide for parents who want to understand what’s really going on with teen sleep—and what they can do about it. Across five short episodes, you’ll get a clear look at why teens resist routine, how their brains are wired for late nights, and what actually helps shift habits without turning it into a daily battle.

There’s no pressure for perfection here. Just calm, grounded support to help you change the conversation, build trust, and make small changes that stick.

Because when sleep improves, everything gets that little bit easier.

This self help audio has been produced for East London NHS Foundation Trust and was written and narrated by Mark Taylor -  North Bedfordshire CAMHS Service.
