We've asked the experts to explain how much sleep teenagers need, so you can help your children get the right amount of shut-eye.
You might know how much sleep you need (though, as a parent, you're lucky if you get it) and remember your newborn's sleep schedule like the back of your hand, but working out how much sleep your teenager needs is a whole new challenge. Sure, you no longer have to worry about your baby waking at 5am, but teenagers have a tendency to stay up until the small hours, leaving them groggy in the morning before school. It might not make sense to you, but actually, there's a reason why so many young people have this sleep pattern.
