Sleep hygiene is a series of habits that can help you get to sleep and stay asleep through the night. Why is it important? Getting quality sleep regularly can help improve both your physical and mental health.
Teens on average need about 8 to 10 hours of sleep at night. But most don't get the amount of sleep they need. School, friends, homework, activities, television, and the computer may all have a higher priority for a teen than sleep. Sleep deprivation can have serious consequences for a teen's health and well-being.
