“My child hardly sleeps and I don't know why?”
My 13-year-old daughter hardly sleeps even though I put her to bed on a consistent sleep schedule. What could be the cause of this?

Screens and telephones and Internet need to be turned off by 9 p.m. Under no circumstances should the cell phone or computer be in the bedroom at bedtime.A relatively constant sleep and wake schedule is important. Naps in the day should be avoided ,at least until sleep gets itself regulated. Avoid caffeine and be sure there is no issue with depression, anxiety, or drug use.Your family doctor can likely help with this.
