We are raising a generation of sleep-deprived kids. The American Academy of Sleep Medicine recommends children aged 6–12 years should regularly sleep 9–12 hours per night and teenagers aged 13–18 years should sleep 8–10 hours per night.  If your child falls short of these recommendations, you’re not alone:

• 6 in 10 middle school students (grades 6-8) do not get enough sleep
• 7 in 10 high school students (grades 9-12) do not get enough sleep.
• 97% of year 12 students do not get enough sleep.

Fort Health recently hosted a webinar with leading sleep and mental health experts to help parents understand how much sleep their child needs, why they’re probably not getting enough of it, how to help a child or teen go to sleep and get a night of good sleep, and when to look for more support.

If your child needs support, please consider contacting us
